Tiny, brave woman.
What do you love most about being a woman?
Handbags! I do not know how men do it. There are so many things to carry everyday — phones, wallets, perfume, Ipods, magazines and even food.
What do you love most about your job?
I have been working in radio since 2010 and it is amazing. I get paid to play music and talk. In fact, it is more of a hobby that pays well than a job. Plus, radio is what brought my husband and I together.
Do you do anything else apart from being a radio presenter?
For now I am more or less a full time mummy. I love to keep my home in order. Plus, I help my husband Nathan (JB Masanduku) with his biasharas. We also have an entertainment production company called 1357, which we run together with Nathan’s friend Wati.
Speaking of JB, what attracted you to your hubby?
He has the biggest and warmest heart in the world. He is also a Jesus’ boy and loves like a child — he does not hold back. I cannot imagine my life with anyone else. I love the fact that he is a bit nuts. He proposed eleven days after our first date and then ended up proposing another three times. I think the only time I said “yes” was two days before our wedding.
What is the most memorable thing about your recent wedding?
Everything was amazing, but I can never forget is when Nathan slipped the ring onto my finger; my heart stopped! He had this look in his eyes; I cannot describe it but I saw right into his heart.
Why did you choose the AG’s office instead of the usual commercial weddings?
(Laughs) commercial is overrated. We wanted something private, small and intimate. However, Nathan and our daughter are still pushing for a white ceremony, so I guess we will have one soon.
What do you love most about being a wife?
The fact that I go home every day to my best friend. Every girl needs that.
You are also a mum; tell us a something about your little princess?
She is called Imani and even though she is only seven years, she has the wisdom of a grey-haired woman.
What do you love to do with your daughter?
We shop a lot and cook noodles together. And she is big on music just like her musician uncle DNA. She is teaching me to play the violin and the recorder.
You have a trim enviable figure, what’s your secret?
The roller was my best friend and I managed to get back in shape about 12 weeks after delivery.
How do you balance career and being a mum and a wife?
Family always comes first. I wake up at 5:50am to make breakfast for Imani as I do not believe the house help should do that. Then I pack her bag and we walk her to the school bus. After that, I chill with Nathan until it is time for us to head out. I do lunch with him as often as possible.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would that be and why?
I am very short-tempered and it isn’t nice at all.
Do you have any advice for single girls out there on how to get their Mr Right?
You attract your kind. So, conduct yourself in a manner that will make that man want to wife you and not just to take a peep at your knickers. You should meet his family before you see the ceiling of his bedroom.
Do you have a secret talent?
I remember conversations in verbatim. I am like the audio version of Mike Ross from the television series Suits.
