Vag*na Monologues’ Founder Boosts Kaz to Continue Her Documentary Work
Kaz’s documentary series got a boost when Eve Ensler of the Vagina Monologues gave her $2,000 to continue her work.
“Now it so happened that a dear friend of mine Mumbi Kaigwa was hosting Eve Ensler, known by many as the author of the popular ‘Vagina Monologues’. Mumbi organized a meet for Eve, myself and a few other lovelies. What a meeting it was,” says Kaz.
“I showed Eve my work and she loved it. So much so that she gave me $2,000
To shoot the next batch of interviews. My word, I shed tears at that restaurant like a small child. I am so grateful that people around the world can appreciate the work I am doing,” she added.
Kaz is now looking for more women to interview. She has previously interviewed former TV host, Lorna Irungu, Tusker Project Fame winner, Valerie Kimani, humanitarian, Wamaitha Mwangi and Mumbi Kaigwa, a celebrated actress.
Kaz started working in the entertainment industry a teenager, hosting karaoke shows, performing with bands and acting on stage. She later participated in the African edition of Project Fame and hosted Citizen TV’s Tafrija show. She was also honored with a Most Promising Artiste award at the Kora Music Awards in 2005.
