If BC is your daily,weekly or even monthly online hangout, you must
have noticed that we rarely air out birthdays shout outs. It’s not only
hard to keep up with birthdays [probably not as hard as Keeping Up With
The Kardashians] it goes on the same line with the fear of missing
someone’s birthday only to realize that he/she is scheduled for our next
interview. In the media, one of the painful things is to have your
interview request turned down. You forgot their birthday and next day
knocking at their door? Imagine…and please don’t cough now!
However, Flaviana deserves and has always had a special place for
BongoCelebrity. Here is why; when the idea of BongoCelebrity was still
in its very early stage, Flaviana was on her way to Mexico City to
represent Tanzania in Miss Universe beauty pageant. That was in May
2007. She didn’t win the top prize. But right after the event, the world
started talking about a bald headed girl from Tanzania. She became
media magnet. Everyone wanted to interview her.
As I mentioned, BC was new and almost non-existing. I approached
Maria Sarungi who is Flaviana’s mentor and manager at that time. My
friend Issa Michuzi must have helped with those connections. Flaviana
granted us our very first interview. You can just imagine how much of a
boost that was. From there it was easier to approach other celebrities
and dignitaries. She gave us a good starting point and for that we are
always humbled and appreciative.
With a bit explanation of that special relationship we have with
Flaviana…Here at BC We Wish You A Very Happy Birthday. Enjoy This And
Many More To Come.
