Twitter Bigwig and Socialite Joins Capital FM

If you are an events person then you definitely know Grace Makosewe (@Makosewe), if you don’t, she is the brains behind Nairobi VIP, the company that brings you high-end events like Kitenge Festival and Shoe Lounge, in other words, she is the perfect definition of a socialite (forget about the ones you’ve heard/read about). Anyhow, this lovely lady now joins the “Capital Family” as a presenter!

Joining Cess Mutungi on the afternoon show, “The Jam”, Gracey (as she likes to be referred to) made her debut on Capital FM yesterday “to talk about 2013 & whatever they want” (in her words). It’s worth mentioning that the show turned out to be one the best “Jam” show going by the feedback from listeners on Twitter. Today, it appears the deal has been cemented because the boss himself, Mr. Chris Kirubi declared on Twitter, “Due to the great show we had yesterday,this lovely lady @Makosewe is officially a @CapitalFM_kenya presenter. Welcome aboard! cc. @thejam984”. To Grace, he said, “The people rooted for you and I headed to their pleas…You’re responsible to them.I know you won’t let them down @Makosewe cc. @thejam984.”

Grace now takes over from Maqbul who moved to the morning show, “Capital in The Morning”, after the departure of Chris Foot. Grace has extensive creative experience both in the Kenyan and European fashion industries. Locally she has worked as wardrobe stylist at the society editorial, Drum Magazine, (East Africa) and as a Fashion Editor for lifestyle magazine, True Love, (East Africa). She is also a trained makeup artist and has had vast experience working in a fashion & style capacity in television.

Ghafla! congratulates Grace and wishes her the very best in her new assignment.
