‘Live within your means,’ Kate actress advises young people to know what to prioritize

Posted on June 13, 2020June 13, 2020 by Elizabeth Ngigi

Actress Catherine Kamau alias Kate Actress has jotted down a letter to young talents aspiring to make a name for themselves and how to go about it.

The mother of two is advising young people to stop pleasing their friends or followers with their savings or profits and instead invest the hard-earned cash in something that can make a profit for them.

Taking it to Instagram, she wrote;

“Dear young talent, I know you are trying hard to create a brand but here are a few things I wish someone told me too..

1. STOP USING YOUR LITTLE Savings or profits TO PLEASE FRIENDS OR YOUR FOLLOWERS. You work so hard , grow your money, invest, save for a rainy day. When you run out of money to buy the champagnes and the mzingas they will Run too 😔” reads part of Catherine Kamau’s post.

‘Success does not happen overnight,’ Kate Actress’ message of encouragement

In her second pointer, the sassy actress pointed out that it’s always advisable for one to live within their means to avoid straining themselves.

“2. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS . I earn enough to live in the boojiest neighbourhoods but hey priorities 🤷🏽‍♀️, I even have comments thrown my way but I don’t listen I know what am working for, so I stay focused, please live comfortably, grow slowly sweetheart,” she wrote.

She went on to mention that the circle of your friends also affects you as an individual and therefore its good to choose your friends wisely.

“3. CHOOSE YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WISELY: may God grant you wisdom here, this is a struggle if you are a genuine soul you think everybody is the same! Sweetheart people are cruel, pray, good friends give you peace, encourage you, cheer you, and protect your dignity. I wish you the best. You don’t have to make the same mistakes we did! We are here for you. We did better, you can too. With love … Aunty Kate,” she said.

‘Success does not happen overnight,’ Kate Actress’ message of encouragement

Posted on June 2, 2020June 2, 2020 by Elizabeth Ngigi

Kate Actress is one of the stars Kenya has. From appearing on our screens to billboards, I mean she is doing so well in the industry.

But she did not achieve all this in one night. She has worked for it. She advised young stars to be patient as success does not come overnight.

Kate who shot to the limelight during her appearance on a local show ‘Mother-in-Law’ is now a household name.

But behind the success lies many nights of hard work. She wrote on her Instagram;

“IT TAKES TIME … I STARTED ACTING AT 21 , AM 33 NOW , THAT MEANS I HAVE OVER THE YEARS (12 yrs ) BUILT AN AUDIENCE THAT HAS GROWN WITH ME , IT DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, IT’S A JOURNEY , THERE HAS BEEN SWEAT ,AND TEARS.”

She added;

“I HAVE HAD MAJOR WINS AND TERRIBLE FALLS IN THIS JOURNEY , BUT I NEVER GIVE UP.
I HAVE ALSO CHOSEN TO NEVER ARRIVE BECAUSE SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION.
SO MY DEAR YOUNG FOLLOWER , YOUR VISION IS VALID , KEEP YOUR PACE, ROLL WITH A SQUAD WITH VISION , STAY PRAYED UP( Gods guidance is everything) .

REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS A STORY BEHIND THE GLORY , WRITE YOURS , AT YOUR OWN PACE SWEETHEART. YOU GOT THIS CHILD.. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 ….. with love Aunty Kate ❤️

Her sentiments were echoed by many among them was madam Boss Akothee who wrote;

“I wish people understand this ,very true.”

‘Stop hurting your eyes, I promise, I will reveal her name…” Cate Actress tells fans

Posted on April 4, 2020April 4, 2020 by Elizabeth Ngigi

Kate Actress has promised to reveal baby K (her daughter’s) name next week.

This is after fans kept on guessing the name after she shared photos of them in baby K’s bedroom.

From the photos, the name was written at the background but one could not read.

She wrote;

“Stop hurting your eyes trying to zoom her name. I promise I will reveal her names next week,” she said after fans kept on insisting to know.

Sharing the photos on her social media, Kate captioned,

“Playing Dress up with my mini me ❣️❣️❣️”

She has also not revealed her daughter’s face to the public because she said she feared what trolls would say about her baby.

“Our social media is something else. We trash even innocent kids. Wacha ikae, let me enjoy her cuteness alone,” she said.

The former Mother-in-law actress took to Instagram to share the photos of her baby saying that she and her husband Phil were not hiding her from the world but hiding the world from her.

This is because it is cruel especially on social media.

“Throwback! Baby K at 2 weeks 🤗… we are not hiding her from the world, just hiding the world from her. Such a cruel world 😩 especially here on social media. Thank you for all the congratulatory messages. You shall meet her when we are ready 🙏🏿❤️ .. if ever 😩” read her caption.

The actress and her husband announced the pregnancy in September last year after keeping it private.

The couple then went on a baby moon in the Maldives.

In December, Cate hosted a lavish baby shower to celebrate her second pregnancy.

The baby shower also doubled up as the gender reveal for the couple.

‘I do not know which baby daddy to post,’ Akothee cries on father’s day

Posted on June 16, 2019 by Peninah Njoki

As the world celebrates Father’s Day Kenyan artiste Akothee is confused about which of her baby daddies will she celebrate on this big day.

Akothee who is a mother of five feels it is not possible to post one baby daddy without rubbing the others the wrong way.

Unlike Akothee, some celebs were sure of how to celebrate their men and here is what gospel artiste Evelyn Wanjiru penned to her hubby.

A father is that rare identity that a man shares with his Creator. To be called one is to be invited into God’s apprenticeship. @agundabweni Happy father’s day love … you are an amazing #daddy #happayfathersday

Kate actress also took the chance to celebrate her husband Phil for the good job he is doing raising their son.

She wrote,

A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child ! Happy Fathers day to the most amazing dad , Leon is one of the luckiest child to have you in his life, thank you for showing him what it means to be a real man, you are loved ,adored ,and appreciated, HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO YOU LOVE @phil_director

Akothee was however confused in which baby daddy to celebrate going by her message below.

‘I will never restrict my son from meeting his biological dad’ Admits Celina

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Peninah Njoki

Being a teenage mother is not easy but Catherine Kamau alias Kate actress or Celina took the role with grace, having been chased away from home.

In a past interview, she opened up on how she got pregnant much to the disappointment of her parents, who threw her out before taking her back and helping care for her son.

‘My parents threw me out after finding out I was pregnant’ Celina recalls

Kate, who is married to Phil Karanja, has been a single mother for a while before she finally wedded the love of her life in 2018.

Speaking on whether her son’s biological dad has reached out to him, she says

“He has not, when I went to Makerere University we were getting to know each other when the boy came. He tried to be in his life but he was not being consistent.

It reached a point where I decided to cut him out because he was not helping much, he became a dead beat father.”

I feel so bad when people write ugly things about my hubby and I -Celina

Asked on whether her son inquires about his dad’s whereabouts, Kate says

“Yes he does but I tried to explain to him why we got into this situation: In as much as the father is not around he was born out of love.

The bond between him and my husband Phil did not come easy we took time to make sure that we would all fit and my husband has been amazing.

They have earned each others trust on my wedding day my son made Phil cry by telling him that ‘He had earned the tile dad’.

Since then he has been calling my husband Phil dad. He is very lucky to get a second chance of fatherly love like he has.

If he wants to met his dad it would be his choice not mine because I don’t have such restrictions.”

Philip Karanja Reveals He Was Warned About Kate That He’s Taking A Big Risk

Posted on February 25, 2018February 25, 2018 by Tracy Mutinda

They tied the knot last year in a colourful wedding ceremony, but Kate and Phil didn’t want it to look like a celebrity wedding, hence inviting only close friends and family.

The public didn’t even know they had tied the knot, only to see photos of the wedding going viral on social media.

But before they finally became husband and wife, Phil had to first approach this beautiful lady, hoping she’d be interested in him.

Phil and Kate actually met while working together but “I did not really notice her in the way that I do now, even though we spent a lot of time together on set,” he told True Love magazine.

It was in 2012 that Phil started noticing Kate and by 2013, he was sure that he wanted to be with her.

“It was actually on the same day that Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in for his first term as president, then I approached her. I told her that I was making it official, I wanted to take a risk with her,” he told the magazine.

Kate went ahead to reveal that Phil had once told him that “many people were warning him about me but that he was still going ahead and taking a very big risk with me.”
