“I Originally Wanted to be a Nun”

“I originally wanted to be a nun because they looked so angelic and peaceful in church, but I guess television was more appealing. I wanted it so much, I would practice reading the news in front of the mirror and I would read it out loud.” 

In 2005, while in high school, Betty was hit by a bus and dragged under, while trying to cross the road.

The injuries were so severe and her family tried to prevent her from seeing her face. But one day she got hold of a mirror, and after seeing her face, slipped into depression. Her dream of becoming a News Anchor had been shattered, or so she thought…

“Let me tell you if I made it, honestly anybody can. I was even talking to my mum the other night and I was just like reminding my mum where we came from, and my mum was like my goodness. So anything is possible.”

Betty Mutei Kyalo was born in 1989 in Kajiado County in Kenya. She is a news anchor, media personality and business woman.
