On a recent episode of Saturday Magazine, Carey Priscilla, a Kenyan model, actress, and makeup artist, shared her journey to motherhood and beyond. Born and raised in Kenya, Carey has built a successful career in the entertainment industry, working with several celebrities and running her own beauty shop on Koinange Street in Nairobi.
As a new mother, Carey has found herself navigating the challenges of parenthood while maintaining her career and personal life. In a candid interview, she shared her thoughts on motherhood, her faith, and her experiences as a business owner.
One of the most significant challenges Carey has faced as a mother is the fear of raising a child who will be God-fearing in today's world. She expressed her desire for her son to live according to God's word and always trust himself. Carey also shared her favorite books and songs for mothers, including 'Blessing' by Cody Carnes and 'What to Expect the First Year' by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel.
As an Akorino, Carey has faced misconceptions about her faith, with some people perceiving her as 'primitive.' She has been denied acting roles due to this perception, but Carey remains committed to her faith and has learned to stand out in her industry. Despite the challenges, Carey is content with the few who believe in her and her brand.
When it comes to her beauty business, Carey has learned that running a successful parlour requires understanding the rules of the game. She has spent years building her brand and has had her fair share of experiences, including a memorable encounter with a stubborn client who had a bad hangover on her wedding day.
Outside of work, Carey enjoys shopping at Sephora and has a weakness for butter. She also has a quirky sense of humor, with a laughter that bursts into rapid volume. When it comes to her friends, Carey is close to singer Nadia Mukami, but she sometimes finds Nadia's lecturing tendencies annoying.
As Carey continues to navigate her career and personal life, she remains grateful for the support of her mother and the lessons she has learned along the way. With her beauty shop and acting career thriving, Carey Priscilla is a true inspiration to many.
