I feel like I’m underrated -Risper Faith on joining Nai-Rich

Why did you want to join Nai-Rich?

I wanted to join Nai-Rich because I feel like I’m underrated. I have so much talent and so much to give to the world that viewers will love. Joining the show will help me get to where I want to be as an artist.

How does it feel to be part of the show?

You know, I’ve done this before with Nairobi Diaries, but Nai-Rich is so much bigger and better. We’ve grown over the years so this is a very exciting experience for me, and this is the right thing for me where I am now.

How did your husband react to you joining Nai-Rich and are we going to see him on the show?

He’s been my number one fan from day one so he’s always happy for me and supports what I do as long as it’s not the wrong thing. So yes, he was so excited for me. Viewers will see a glimpse of him here and there. He’s a busy man, he loves travelling a lot but he’s going to be there to support me, regardless.

Who would you choose as your favourite co-star?

My favourite has to be Phoina because she’s a friend. She was even my make-up artist for my wedding in 2018 so we have a relationship from way back.

I watched a few episodes of Nai-Rich and you really tell it like it is. You don’t believe in sugarcoating anything. Tell us about that?

In the past, when I was trying to chase fame and build up my brand, I got caught up in so much fakeness lies along the way. But when I decided to turn my life around, my blessings started flowing, everything good in life came to me so yes, I don’t believe in sugarcoating anything and.

Let’s talk about your body transformation that had Kenyans talking for weeks. How does it feel six months down the line?

This has been a life-changing experience for me. You know, being a mother and a wife sometimes transforms your body so I gained a lot of weight and my self-esteem was very low. Right now, I feel so good about myself and I feel so confident. And it’s also good for my health, I sleep well, I’m happy and overall, I look so good.

What do you currently do to maintain your stunning figure?

I do a lot of exercising. I signed up for gym membership at both Westgate and Sarit Centre so I do live in the gym. I train, I drink my water and try to eat healthy, so a lot of vegetables, fruits and I also take my supplements very seriously because I don’t want to go back to where I was one year ago.

How do you handle the pressure and scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye?

I think I’ve been in the public eye for over 10 years now, and along the way, I’ve learnt to grow a thick skin. That’s all it takes for you to handle everything and deal with the pressure. Also, I always keep away from any gossip about me, I don’t check the blogs, I don’t read the comments, and the people around me know this as well, not to share any gossip stories with me.
