This revelation is sort of a message for people to treat celebrities kindly. This may look good for them but they are having struggles that some of us cannot believe. Celebrities have been rumored to be some of the people who lead fake lives in order to live up to their fans expectations.

The mother of two is always serving us with some inspiration and motivation. Recently she asked the young people to never use up their savings to please the masses with a fake life.

The creative has shared with us her fair share of her struggles. She got pregnant at the early age of 19 and her life took a whole different turn.

Catherine is the true definition of hard work pays. She has worked on her brand and has made a name out of herself. She once disclosed that she is the highest paid actress in Kenya. She is a brand ambassador for a beauty company and is obviously one of the preffered infliuencers in Kenya.
