Rising digital personality, Nasra, alias Naz, isn’t afraid to say what many young adults often keep to themselves: “I cry at least once every month — not because I’m sad, but because I’m proud I haven’t given up.”
It’s a statement that captures the heart of her story — quiet resilience behind the curated posts, private battles behind the public voice. Though her online following continues to grow, Naz lives a life many can still relate to.
She cooks her own meals (she loves to cook ugali, meat and kales), leans on her sister for emotional support, and keeps her inner circle out of the spotlight.
“My best friend? Not someone you know,” she says. “Therefore, I can’t mention her name.”
Her journey has been anything but scripted. She quit selling Airtel SIM cards on the second day due to difficult terms of working.
Amidst Google searches about 70s fashion and forex trading, Naz admits she’s still figuring it out as she plans to go back to school in September. She plans to pursue English Literature as her major.
Born and raised in Mukuru kwa Njenga, Naz doesn’t hide her roots. “I’ve lived a very regular life,” she says. “That’s probably why people connect with me.”
