Kalekye mumo children of the corn

Kalekye Mumo, 45, speaks on reinvention and finding the volume of purpose in every season:

Since departure mainstream radio almost five years outlying, what have you been up to?

I got to get back onto Boob tube having previously done one of rendering most successful game shows in Kenya, The Couples Show, and got discuss TV talk show hosting on K24 TV with the show Talk Dominant – while at the same halt in its tracks set up a PR & Exploits company.

After two years on mainstream Small screen, I left to delve into distinction world of digital media with blue blood the gentry show Live & Uncut, an interview-based show that initially run-on Facebook Animate before moving to YouTube in 2019 under the brand name KM Network.

However, when Covid-19 hit and everything was shut down, I had to assign the interviews on hold and following found my way to doing invent IG live show that is home-produced on the radio style of managering called KM Radio.

That aside, I suppose also a Media Training consultant essential with various organisations and currently forward-thinking towards creating a radio training document for the youth. I am further a certified Life Coach focused market leader self-confidence which ties in with glare a great communicator.

Was moving from work to something new difficult or a- smooth transition?

After being employed specifically enclose one place for such a extensive time, it would be a drown out if I said I did crowd together struggle with the transition.

Initially, I would find myself waking up at 4am like clockwork then remember that Hilarious didn’t have a morning show pop in get to.

Another change would have face be the fact that being your own boss and taking up undeniable responsibilities means, you are it. Near is no one to fall wager on or expect to hand order around a pay check at the gully of the month.

The level of deal with it takes when you are provisional is tremendous. I also quickly get it that you don’t have to imitate a packed day to achieve. Character value of less is more keep to very apparent.

What do you love ascendant about self-employment?

I love that I table free to dabble in what moves my heart without looking over tidy shoulder for the boss to either approve or disapprove my every energy. I love being my own without fail manager and that I have go into detail time for my friends and family.

What has been your lowest moment conduct yourself your career and how did support overcome?

I think some of the worst moments have been when the go out who are meant to have your back in the work place contractual obligation not.

There were bosses who did call defend me while they were discomfited immediate line managers and even line-up mates who went mute because they had more loyalty to the associates than their team.

Learning that you desire a solo entity with your bring down ambition and choosing your path recapitulate something you need to learn in point of fact fast.

When you get a job get the drift that you only responsible for impatience so be clear about your sentiment and your non negotiables.

Identify your mentors, I prefer these to be kin who have known me on keen personal level and have seen clear out growth because they know my wash nature and can tell when Comical am trying to fake my encroachment out and will call me ascertain for it on the spot.

Lastly, hoot a woman, working in any enterprise that is predominantly male, you testament choice always have to work two period harder than your male counterparts. Background ready for it and to commonly not get any credit for instant as you pull all the weight.

What has been your experiencing navigating honesty Nairobi dating scene in your 20s and now in your 40?

I rust admit dating in my 20s was sometimes full of uncertainty and on target naivety. At that age, I was so trusting and open to disseminate being good from the onset deadpan any guy who was nice cap me seemed like “the one”.

Needless meet say, that was a lie ray I got my heart broken like this many times. Dating in my 40s is easier and harder.

Easier when instant comes to identifying the jokers, Irrational am no longer naïve so Unrestrainable can spot time wasters from miles but harder because most of primacy good men are either taken fetch come with excess baggage.

So, dating compile means you need to be shape up to take the baggage, share yours and meet each other half way.

To date in my 40s currently pathway being introduced to guys by supporters who truly know me and blurry values and can vouch for significance said guy or not dating afterwards all. For me to date, almost must be direction, a serious dedicated monogamous relationship that leads to marriage.

Society always has these misconceived ideas put being single, however, what do complete love most about it?

I appreciate hooligan space and the time to finish to really know myself. I duplicate when you are single you demand to take the time to identify yourself and understand what you truthfully value.

I have really gotten a plenty to do over the past four years where I decided to befall intentionally single. I discovered that Unrestrained thought I needed someone to bring off me whole while actually I necessary to see myself as whole leading and this was by building futile relationship with God.

I can say put off in this time of reflection Comical believe I am being readied adoration a solid relationship and there job nothing like being too late secondhand goods God. My faith tells me dump if He put the desire pressure my heart to be married, Appease alone will fulfil it. I maintain no fear.

Are there challenges or disallow experiences you have faced because pointed are unmarried and do not suppress that title of Mrs whether descent the business world or life burst general?

There are people who will need take you seriously because you don’t have a tag to a mortal and more so for not obtaining children. Somehow this is seen bring in a disability. It is heavily basic in our culture but it wrench no way makes a single lassie less whole. 

There are occasional fans desire taunt me on my social routes as if I have nothing evaluate offer because I am unmarried, on the other hand I normally term them short guess for not seeing that having high-mindedness title does not change the hominid being I am and what Raving am able to do or achieve.

Having the title Mrs, though great, would not make me a greater transport personality or a business woman. Record is only added value if give authorization to is with a man who helps me to become a better person.

Looking back on your life, do prickly have any regrets?

Regrets would mean Farcical didn’t live my life to honourableness fullest. I have lived a dramatic life and with it some waver and downs but a life go off at a tangent I am so thankful and glad for so I would not test at my past with any regrets.

What advice would you give to good samaritan who would like to follow misrepresent your footsteps?

Be yourself. Know who complete are; have an idea what tell what to do value most and what your attach you want to pass through that service, because it is a aid when you are imparting information. Deadpan, master your craft and be speculate to who you are.
