What have been the greatest challenges you’ve encountered in your career?
I have faced a number of challenges. Some guests can be unpleasant. Some insult you; calling you all sorts of names. Some female clients take it to another level thinking that I am being too nice to their hubbies. Others just get jealous of me.

To become the finest female MC not only in Uganda but also internationally. I trust my accent, confidence and very soon I will be hitting your screens most probably on NTV.

MC Kats. I have always watched him, and with the words of encouragement from my brother David who always tells me I can beat Kats out of the game I get even more wild.

A number of things; not only money although this is my highest paying job ever. Another thing that motivates me is that I am given time to build my brand name by emceeing.
What books do you read?
Not really books but I am a good reader of entertainment articles; it’s the center of my attraction.
