5 Years
âI interviewed so many Kenyan celebrities who I can now call friends, celebrated artists from all over the world, hosted events not only here but in other countries in the continent and I could keep going on and on but this is just to appreciate @ntvkenya and the entire #teenrepublikntv team for giving me an opportunity and for the learning experience. For the past 5 years I was literally living my dream. Things I only wished for when I was younger I experienced and did. I was fresh from high school and now half way through my 20âs I have gained so much experience I couldnât be more grateful! Thank you to everyone who supported me and the show. Hereâs to the next chapter of my life ??â reads part of Tracey Wanjiruâs post.
She added âWow 5 years flew by so so fast! I remember auditioning for Teen Republik only because I really needed a job so that I could start making money. Little did I know this really was my calling. God surely works in crazy ways. The day I found out that Iâd be the new host on the show, I couldnât believe it because they called me 3 months after the audition so I thought it was a prank. Years later, I couldnât be more grateful for the opportunities, the highs the lows and overall the best experience of my life!
Iâm very critical of myself and donât really applaud myself much, but man I did some dope shit on the show with the baddest @martinkimathi_â.
