Kenya is undoubtedly the hotbed of vibrant talent. When POTUS was in Kenya, DJ Joe Mfalme was seen getting along with superstar Akon. As if that is not enough, here is our own Valarie Kimani chilling out with
the queen of media, Oprah Winfrey.
Valarie Kimani was the winner of Tusker Project Fame 1 and she later released her album Baiskeli which didn’t hit as much as it was expected. I don’t mean to be rude but none of those TPF winners has ever come out to be a big name after the show.
Do you even remember Davis, Alpha, Nga’nga’lito or Hemedi? I am not hating, I am just saying. Ameelina is at least doing something, though she is still not a household name. Valarie Kimani later joined acting where she acted alongside Lupita Nyong’o in Shuga.
One thing that amazes me the most is that Valarie has met one of the most influential women who ever existed in this universe. Oprah Winfrey is not any ordinary woman that you will meet anywhere or anytime. Valarie and Oprah met during the recent Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. I really admire her and Lupita, since the two have met the TV queen, something that is nothing but a fantasy to me.
