This is it:
1. Born and raised in Timau, Meru County
“I was born and raised in Timau – an area between Meru and Nanyuki. I am the last born in a family of three girls.”
Ironically, she says growing up as the last child “was not so much fun”.
“I could run away from home and look for other kids to play with. Between my immediate elder sister and I, there is an age difference of ten years. I used to climb trees, jump in the rivers, play football, roll tyres. Basically, I did a lot of boy stuff.”
2. Brought up by single parent
Kawira’s father passed on while she was 4; hence she, and her sisters, were brought up solely by their mum.
“My mum, sisters and I call ourselves ‘The Four Women’. Contrary to what many would think, I did not experience a lot of challenges being raised by a single parent. I only missed running to someone who could physically protect me against harassment.”

3. Kawira is born again
“I am saved. I have always been a staunch Christian from the word go. I was born again when I was in primary school and I have never looked back.”
“Being born again can be challenging, depending on the friends you keep. Friends would often test your faith – I remember some of my pals nicknamed me mshamba (village girl) for my spiritual stance. Very many temptations have been thrown my way, but I have always stood my ground.”
“I have never taken alcohol, I have never gone clubbing; instead, I go for kesha (vigils) – many would say my life is boring.”

4. Angelic Girls’ Secondary School alumnus
“I attended Timau Primary School and Angelic Girls’ Secondary School in Meru. Life wasn’t really good as the high school did not support my acting – they were really into sports. I thus participated in athletics.”
“I was the school’s deputy head girl.”

5. Kawira is a professional DJ
After completing high school, Kawira enrolled for a course in deejaying at an academy and later pursued a diploma in Mass Communication at East Africa Institute of Professional Studies (EAIPS).
“I did not practice deejaying because most of the gigs I would get were night club performances and given my spiritual bearing, I declined such offers.”
Kawira would later intern at Bibilia Husema Broadcasting (BHB) for seven months and Royal Media Services (RMS’) Muga FM. I later got a radio presentation job in one of the vernacular radio stations until November, last year.”
“Right now I am planning to go back to school for drama and theatrical arts, and at the same time look for greener pastures as I still have passion for radio.”
