1.Congratulations on your role in Beauty of Poverty! Could you tell us what drew you to this project?
When I was writing the script, I wanted people to be struck by its raw honesty. This isn't another poverty narrative - it's about finding dignity and humanity in it. The director's vision to show poverty through a lens of unexpected beauty rather than despair felt revolutionary to me.
2.Your character in the film is so layered and powerful. How did you prepare for this role, and what personal connections did you find in the story?
I had spent months volunteering at shelters in Kenya during the COVID-19 pandemic. These people experienced hardship. One woman in particular - her ability to find joy in small moments became the soul of my character. Personally, it reminded me of my mother’s resilience during difficult times.
3. The film’s title, Beauty of Poverty, is striking. What do you think the film’s core message is, and why is it important to tell this story now?
The title is intentionally paradoxical. Our film suggests that while poverty is brutal, it doesn't erase human beauty - in fact, it often reveals extraordinary strength in today's world of increasing inequality. It is the army against all the moral wars that have arisen against humanity, for the greedy few to make more money. It is an army that stops the social wars fought between individuals due to cash, between humanity and the sexes.
4. Can you share any memorable moments from filming that really stood out to you or shaped your performance?
There was a scene where my character comes to realise the harsh reality of life. We shot it in golden hour. That contrast between finally reaching what she always wished for, yet discovering she lost everything, changed how I approached the entire role.
