I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty.

When I was younger, I was almost too afraid to admit that I wanted to be an actor. I didn't know any successful actors in Kenya, so I felt like I could get away with going to college to study film more easily than I could with saying, 'I want to be an actor.' That's what I did.

You can’t eat beauty. It doesn’t feed you.

I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.

No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.
