Check Out Laura Walubengo Back When She Was A Child (PHOTO)

Former Capital FM news presenter and radio personality Laura Walubengo who is now with Multichoice, the guys that bring you DSTV has decided to get all nostalgic and reminisce about her youth and childhood and I managed to catch a glimpse of what she had to say as she toasted her childhood.

 

She posted a picture of herself in her younger days and it had the following caption:

 

 

Ok. For true. As true as my childhood. I thank you @annmbaru and @marianepembe#regram

Former Citizen TV Anchor Reveals what she’s been doing Since Resigning from the TV Station

 

We reached out to Zein Noor, former Citizen TV newscaster after an article in Pulse Magazine spoke about her career path and media experience.

Zein was one of the anchors with great potential before she took a bow from TV and ventured into her own business.

“My strong IT background and PR experience had been just what I needed to start my own successful consultancy. Everything that happened in the past has been a blessing in disguise. I can almost confidently say have been sitting on a gold mine,” she says, adding, “Check me out in a few years. I’m a gem. Nobody can take that away from me.”

Zein who says she has had very important lessons in the past said this was only a polishing stage for her, and she appreciates that she went through a rough time. The seemingly tough cookie says she saw some true colours, which was imperative for her, and that she also discovered some genuinely good people out there. “I can smile at you and be around you, but I know exactly who my friends are.”

When not meeting up with her clients and working, Zein loves traveling, writing, nature, photography, fishing, camping and spending time with people she loves.

Diamond & Victoria Kimani’s Song Leaks (AUDIO)

Fast rising singing sensation Victoria Kimani has been more than ready to unveil her new single ‘Prokoto’, which features Diamond and Ommy Dimpoz, two major acts in Tanzania in a Smash dance-hit.

But before the official release date, the single has leaked!

‘Prokoto’ (a slang meaning swag) follows her two previous successful hits ‘Whoa’ and ‘M’Toto’, and is a heavy percussion based tune, which sees Victoria Kimani, Diamond and Ommy Dimpoz blend their native Swahili language with English to produce a sound that will surely thrill audiences.

Victoria Kimani’s ‘Prokoto’ resembles that of a traditional African sound, and captivates the listener from the opening beat; there will be lots of dancing and, gyrating.

Here’s the single;

Kenyan-based Short Film Causing Ripples Worldwide

 

Huriyyah Muhammad and Ekwa of Infinite Wings Media last year came to Kenya to produce the film The Market King which was later given the name “Soko Sonko” featuring some of the top actors and actresses in Kenya.

Soko Sonko is causing ripples at the Africa Film Festival that is ongoing in New York which is actually the longest and the bests African film festival in the USA. The film premiered at Walter Reade Theater, Lincoln Center, NYC last week on Thursday May 8th and Sunday May 11th

“The comedy Soko Sonko (Translation:The Market King) shows the mayhem that could possibly happen when you take a mother out of the picture for just one day. Set in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, a father is on his way out of the door to watch a highly anticipated soccer game with friends, when he notices that his wife is sick and might not be able to take their daughter to get her hair braided (his wife sounds like she’s coughing up a lung). Thankfully, he volunteers to take his baby girl to get her tresses tamed, but  approaches the task from the typical ‘dudes’ perspective. Mission? To get it done in half the time that it typically takes his wife.

‘How hard or difficult can this possibly be?’ the father likely thought, judging by his calm, but rushed demeanor. ‘I’ll be in and out, just in time for the soccer game to begin!’

Yeah right. If you’ve ever been to a market in a major African city, then you know just how robust and hectic that experience can be for a layman, like tourists, or even local fathers who don’t do the grocery shopping or run errands. Depending on the size of the market, there are approximately 100 merchants crowded in a small area, all standing in front of their stalls peddling their products loudly. Plus, hair-braiding is a very popular service, and if you’re walking through a market with your hair seemingly undone, then the spotlight is on you:

“Aun-teeee, come and let me make your hair. It will be veeery bu-tee-full” hustling hair-braiders shout.

Long story short, the father is in too much of a hurry to have the lady who normally braids his daughter’s hair do it, because she already has a few clients waiting, so the poor dad commits cardinal sin No. 1 with regard to black kinky hair. He entrusts a random hair-braider who has never styled his daughter’s hair, to the task. When the stylist was done, his daughter’s hair looked a little like Martin Payne’s in that episode of Martin when he runs away to the convent to “find himself”. Remember?”

Yuck! Larry Madowo Eats Frogs in France (PHOTO)

NTV’s Larry Madowo is a weirdo though; if he’s not eating snails he’s enjoying his plate of cuisses de grenouille.

Last Sunday was his last night in France as he headed to Los Angeles so he decided to sample one of the better-known French delicacies; frog legs! Apparently, frogs legs or cuisses de grenouille are particularly traditional dish in France and taste like chicken.

Only the upper joint of the hind leg is served, which has a single bone similar to the upper joint of a chicken and are commonly prepared by frying or deep frying, sometimes breaded and sometimes unbreaded.

Here’s Larry’s “delicious” plate of frog legs with rice;

GHAFLA POLL: Is Adelle’s Song A Hit Or A Miss?

Adelle is a gifted poet. That is not debatable. The Pope Of Pissing Off People has spoken!

And I am of the opinion that she is a gifted rapper too. But not everyone will agree with my opinion. What I want to do is have a baptism of fire. I want to have her have her first Kenyan response type of setting. So what I need from all you Ghafla readers is for you to tell her whether you think this song is a hit or a miss. What I will however ask of you is for everyone to keep the criticism if any constructive. Now go and vote!

Kenyan Rapper Condemns Women Celebrating Jay-Z’s Beating By Beyonce’s Sister

After TMZ released a video of Solange hitting Jay-Z, there has been a myriad of reactions elicited by the video. Most of which are shockingly about people celebrating how ‘badass’ Solange is.

U.S based rapper K-Nel is not pleased by the reactions that are coming from the womenfolk,so he had this message for the ladies:

Jay-Z/Solange Analysis using “honest words” (Women u must read this).

I been checking comments today made by women about Solange’s Bruce Lee kicks! Y’all women sound like a NFL cheers group! I see women writing all over that Solange’s reaction was right even though none of y’all know what the fuck happened!

Y’all cheering like Solange has more physical power than Jay. Really? If Jay wasn’t smart and it happened to be a “NIGGA” from the hood with a E- average high school score, Solange could have left that elevator with bruises, a broken pelvis, a swollen nose and a wig so damaged, women in Brazil (who own the real deal) would file A murder case. Then guess what? It would be y’all out here crying how badddd Jay is for ass whooping a woman! Am happy this happened and was caught on camera coz it reminds me of a line I told a friend of mine back in 2009…..”I will never judge Chris Brown. Only He, Rihanna and God know what happened in that car.” Agree to Disagree? ‪#‎RealTalk‬ ‪#‎Facts‬ *sips mango juice*

Fashion Powerhouse KikoRomeo Turns 18

Today, Kenya’s foremost fashion brand, KikoRomeo, will turn 18 years old. Starting in 1996 in a garage on Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi, to becoming a household name all over Kenya, KikoRomeo is an inspiration to any business start up.

Armed with strong technical & PR skills and a passion for making the world a better place, Ann McCreath initiated her company in 1996. With a desire to see more Kenyans showing pride in their culture through their dress and to create supplementary income in rural households, Ann set up KikoRomeo. She quickly realized that she wouldn’t be able to get standardized quality of stitching craftsmanship required for a high class product, so she decided to employ her own tailors and train them to make clothes. At the same time she continued to work with diverse women’s groups and artisans to develop unique inputs. Whether tie dyed fabrics, coconut and bone buttons, beaded leather, carved leather, knits, engraved brass or weaves. You name it Ann tried it.

In 1998 with a regular monthly turnover of 400,000 KES and a predominantly male fashion line, Ann sold shares to others to raise capital to expand the business. She then moved around different parts of Nairobi from Viking House to Eldama Ravine Rd, Kindaruma Lane, Lower Kabete Rd, Mogotio Rd until finally settling on the Yaya Centre. There she recreated her flagship store using an intriguing mix of huge sculptures by Kioko Mwitiki, paintings by El Tayeb Daw el Bait, and a balance of colors and space by Kahare Miano. The result is a uniquely Kenyan eclectic mix, which represents her appreciation of diversity.

‘KikoRomeo’ was a fruit of this diversity. A Kiswahili word for “Adam’s Apple” Ann chose it as it was easy to say in many different languages. Her own name was out of the question, as she had decided to create a Kenyan brand, an African brand, which would resonate with people’s roots. A line that would empower people to look good and feel proud anywhere in the world.
Ann says “We have come far, but not far enough. My dream was always to create a worldwide franchise, to sell an African designed and made product all over the globe, and to create a Kenyan experience in those places, so that people would see and feel the vibe. Now is the time to take this dream forward. KikoRomeo has the experience, we cut for curvy bodies, and we know what people want”.
Ann McCreath through KikoRomeo has also helped a multitude of others. Whether training in improved crafts skills, lending books, teaching people how to draw and cut, the impact on the Kenyan fashion industry has been immense. Ann says “It’s all about empowerment. Whether it’s a village mama or a young graduate, everyone can learn more. It’s about exposure and mentoring. Kenyans are very eager to learn, and whenever I share my knowledge I also receive more knowledge as I seek to understand”.
