Meet Naomi James, The Newest, Hottest And Funniest Sensation On Citizen TV

After the departure of Size 8, and the sad demise of Jastorina, Citizen TV’s Mashtaka show seemed to have suffered some irreparable blows. But not anymore because a savior has come. And she’s blowing up our TV screens, once more.

The savior is none other than the incredibly talented, very hilarious, witty, smart, unbridled and jaw-dropping Naomi James who plays in the Mashtaka show mostly as an accuser or sometimes a suspect.

Naomi James was born Naomi Wambui Waweru some 20-something years ago. Naomi, whose roles mostly depict the image of a street-wise woman with a hardened past and a care-free lifestyle, was born and brought up in Nyandarua District and attended Silibwet Secondary School.

In school, Naomi wasn’t actually an actress. In fact, at Silibwet Secondary, there was NO Drama Festivals. Only Music Festivals which Naomi would participate in almost every year.

Naomi started acting 7 years ago even though she was always an actress ever since she was in Class 1. Yes, she was that young.

While Growing Up, Naomi was inspired by the female title character in the movie ‘Nikita’ and it is that character who actually inspired Naomi to get into acting, still as a young girl.

While still growing up, the popular soap ‘Maria De Los Angeles’ also did influenced Naomi’s desire to be on TV quite a lot.

But it is in Form Four that Naomi really got bit by the acting bug after watching actors enact the set book ‘Merchants Of Venice’. After watching the young Kenyan actors doing the book so well, her desire to dive into acting full-on was cemented.

Naomi’s first appearance on TV was actually on Kiss TV. And she was acting in those vernacular, Kikuyu Movies that Kiss TV used to run way back before they revamped.

After featuring in way too many Riverwood productions, Naomi joined Citizen TV’s Inspekta Mwala and that’s where her popularity really started growing and people got to really know about her.

After her debut on Inspekta Mwala, Naomi also dabbled into more TV productions including Churchill Show, Ngumbaro School on K24 and she is now on Mashtaka on Citizen TV.

As for being a comedian, she says it’s easy to be a comic if one is talented. But if one is faking it, she says it can be real hard and difficult to crack audiences.

When I asked her about her biggest comic influence and the greatest comedian she knows and looks up to, Naomi laughed and told me that I would be surprised but it really was Kihenjo, a popular River Road Kikuyu Comedian who for many years has been shooting and producing his Kikuyu Movies and selling then to the mass Kikuyu Market.

Kihenjo is the funniest person ever, according to Naomi.

Naomi comes from a family of 3 and she’s the last born. She is a born-again Christian and is also a gospel artiste who has done a Gospel Album titled ‘Siri Ni Yesu’.

As for her career, Naomi says that acting is a fulfilling job and that it can and does pay well but depending on which productions one works for.

Naomi’s word to the World is simple;

“Believe in yourself, stick to your dreams, work on your visions, have an aspiration, stand tall and run for what is yours, be persistent and never lose hope…”

Naomi James is an actress on Citizen TV, you can always find her on the popular Court-themed show Mashtaka produced by Kentv.

This girl is ON FIRE!!!!!!! She’s blazing Up! And clearly there is no stopping a woman whose time has come!
