Selected for The Real Housewives of Nairobi are Susan Kaittany, a serial entrepreneur and owner of Posh Palace Hair Studio; Vera Sidika, a media personality and entrepreneur; Sonal Maherali, a luxury influencer, fashion collector and entrepreneur; Minne Kariuki, an actress and entrepreneur also married to Jaguar’s former manager and businessman Charles Muigai with whom they have two daughters; Lisa Christoffersen, an interior designer, author, business owner, rally driver and luxury safari curator.
Denise Mwende, Showmax Content Specialist in East Africa said, “Each of the ladies has a strong personality and sure identity of themselves. They are hardworking, affluent, influential and unapologetic women who are not ashamed to live large and live well because they have earned it. They’re also a representation of the diverse communities we have in Kenya.”
