Hidden Talent

I believe that every person has a talent

Maya Angelou

This is the quote that comes to mind when interviewing Pauline Mumbi Gichia, one of our Guest Relations Officers at the hotel. Pauline had the opportunity to play a minor role a music video by Kenyan contemporary gospel artist; Victor Mbuvi(@MbuviMbuvi).

How did this opportunity come about?

Mbuvi and his crew were shooting segments of the music video scheduled for release on Mother’s day in one of our presidential suites. They needed someone to play the role of his mother, so they asked me if I was up to the challenge.

Were you up for it?

Of course, I was an active drama club participant all throughout my high school years, and at was at one time awarded the trophy for the best actress at the provincial level during the annual music festivals.  I requested the gift shop attendant to give me two leso’s , then put a little make up and I was ready for my close up.

Does anybody else in the family have this talent as well?

My daughter Sandra does, she has even appeared on a few local commercials on local television when she was younger. She is a natural.

What is your parting shot?

Our talents will always be within us, because they are God given, and time will never change that.
