Meet Zena Nyambu, the serial entrepreneur and jack of all trades
One of the new housewives joining The Real Housewives of Nairobi Season 2, Zena Nyambu describes herself as a serial entrepreneur and a jack of all trades.
The 41-year-old mother of two is a beauty and aesthetics entrepreneur who runs several businesses, including luxury skincare parlour Glamsquad Kenya, interior design company Art Infinity and is also a partner at Zela Aesthetics, a medical aesthetics and wellness centre.
She tells us what to look forward to in The Real Housewives of Nairobi S2 launching on Showmax on 10 May.
Coming into the show as a new housewife, how has the journey been so far?
Of course, I’ve had fun, I’ve been able to meet and interact with the other housewives. I’m very good friends with some of them and sworn enemies with some, but you know what, that’s part of life. I am not ice cream – not everybody will like me.
Why did you want to join The Real Housewives of Nairobi S2?
I knew I had a lot to bring to the table, and the show was an opportunity for me to grow and to showcase my business. I think a lot of people who know me online don’t know me that well; they only have an idea of who I am. The Real Housewives of Nairobi came at the right time when I’m upscaling my business and who would say no to such a platform?
Looking at The Real Housewives of Nairobi S1, who would you pick as your favorite housewife?
If I say Minne, I’ll be a little biased because she’s a friend. I’ve really grown to like Vera. I didn’t know her prior to the show, and getting to meet her, she’s actually a very sweet human being and very real. I had a chance to meet the real Vera. And then there’s Farah, who I find very sweet.
Why should Kenyans watch The Real Housewives of Nairobi S2?
First of all, they should tune in to watch me in it because this is a first for me. From where I sit, I do not know fame, never been in it, I’m just another girl next door. Personally, I can’t wait to watch it because I want to see what I’ve been up to, because sometimes I get home, and I’m like, was that me?
I’m literally rediscovering myself with this show. It’s been a very interesting journey and friendships have been made, alliances have been forged and there’s a lot to learn from this season. Personally, I will ask for grace from viewers because even I will be tuning in to watch it.
