“I have three siblings- all brothers, all older- and my late father was my role model because he taught me the art of tolerance and hard work.

I love attention, so I look forward to having Africa’s eyes on me 24/7. It makes me feel like the princess I’ve always been. My family is happy that I am going on the show, and they can’t wait to tell everyone that they are related to me,” Ms. Mbaru told BBA (The Chase) in 2013 when she was 24 years old.
