Having worked in the media for 13 years, I feel the growth is massive and I now want to try something else.

In my real world and space, while still interviewing people who interest me, whether famous or not.

She says she will use Facebook Live, which will later be broadcast on YouTube as well as a podcast because people have always wanted to know about her life and be a part of it.

I have grown and in terms of the interviews that I have conducted, they have been out of love.

I want to take the challenge and do my own things and influence people with a great story to tell.

Momo is bae! Men who marry chubby women smile more according to this study

Posted on June 6, 2018June 6, 2018 by Peninah Njoki

Forget diets, forget working out and starving yourself. A new study suggest that men who are in relationships with chubby women tend to smile more.

The study further shows that chubby women are better at dealing with problems than men who are in relationships with thin women. The regular Kenyan woman is chubby but the hype to lose weight and be skinny has been on the rise due to westernisation.

Extreme diets have led to health complications and even death.

The study also shows that thin women tend to be more reserved, more unfriendly and less expressive with their emotions.

The Argentinian newspaper Buevo Diario reports on the findings from the research conducted by Dr Filemón Alvarado and Dr Edgardo Morales at UNAM’s department of psychology.

According to their research, chubby women make their men ten times as happy as thin women. And we all know that happy people live longer. The study also indicated that chubby women are better at anticipating their partner’s needs.

But keeping fit isn’t bad. And Kenyan fitness experts such as Jane Mukami, who runs 21 Days Of Change, Chiki who has a show Dance with Chiki, Esther Dindi who runs Fit Sistaz and many other personal trainers, inspire us to be fit.

But going by this recent study, maybe those few extra pounds aren’t fat – they’re love and tenderness! More and more celebrities are making the effort to lose weight such as Big Ted who recently opened up about his struggle with weight before he lost 70 kgs from his initial 168 kgs.

Female musician Nazizi Hirji is also among local celebrities who have lost a drastic amount of weight over time bringing her sexy back. She went through a complete nutrition change and incorporated workouts .

Talia Oyando, Size 8 reborn, and Kalyeke Mumo have also been tagged along in this fitness journey and we commend them for wanting to keep fit.
