Local television girls are pretty and envied by fellow women...even men. They are in our living rooms daily. The more we stare at them on screens reading news or interviewing high-profile personalities, the more some of us think they must be very lucky indeed.
Some are lucky. They have great jobs, connections, are famous and thus get special treatment, live large - or seem to - and have huge following on social media. They are celebrities by virtue of their jobs. But have you heard of the saying the cowl does not make the monk? It’s one dollop of wisdom to simply discourage people from judging others from their appearances...or their jobs, in this case, TV jobs.
The local television girl, for instance, could be driving a sleek German machine, sports imported weaves worth your rent, speaks impeccable English and you would have probably heard of her celebrity wedding to a loaded guy you only know from newspaper reports. Spare a thought for our screen sirens though. They make sacrifices you wouldn’t trade your miserable life for. The Nairobian tried speaking to some present and past television anchors, but most were reluctant to get drawn into this topic.
