The renowned actress recently shared with MURANGANEWSPAPER the transformative journey that unfolded when she decided to bid farewell to her iconic Tahidi High character, Miss Morgan.
In recounting her evolution, she emphasized that relinquishing the Miss Morgan persona was a pivotal and life-altering choice. This decision not only paved the way for a renewed zest for life but also marked the inception of her latest venture, a compelling show to be discussed later.
Angel Waruinge, exuding unmistakable confidence, is currently making waves on the highly acclaimed Showmax TV series, “Kina,” signaling her resurgence in the entertainment industry.
In a self-assured tone, she declared, “My name is Angel Waruinge. Acting is not just my passion; it’s my favorite hobby and my guiding star. With over two decades in the industry, I am also exploring production.” Her enthusiasm is palpable as she delves into her diverse experiences and aspirations.
Furthermore, Angel unveiled her commitment to a two-year psychology school program, driven by her profound desire to utilize her past struggles as invaluable lessons for future generations.
While Angel’s publicized battles with depression and alcoholism are well-documented, her triumphant journey from those challenging times remained untold. Actively engaging with friends and colleagues, she embarked on mentorship programs, visiting 400-600 schools nationwide alongside Dennis Mugo (OJ), Ted Kitana (Kilunda), and Lydia Gitatu. Their personal narratives served as cautionary and inspirational tales, emphasizing the importance of learning without experiencing the pitfalls.
Angel’s introspective journey includes shedding light on the less-discussed financial challenges faced by media personalities. Recounting a colleague’s extravagant expenditure of Ksh 4 million in two months, she underlines the financial pitfalls that celebrities can encounter.
Contrary to common assumptions, Angel rejects the notion that mental health issues are exclusive to the media industry. She urges a collective effort to address the pervasive problem, emphasizing the need to confront mental health challenges openly.
Motivated by the rising mental health concerns in Kenya, Angel has launched her own show, set to premiere on her YouTube channel. This platform aims to facilitate open conversations about mental health, featuring guests like Tina Kaggia, whose story significantly impacted Angel’s own life.
Intriguingly, Angel is tight-lipped about her upcoming TV show project, sharing only that parts of it were filmed in Mombasa. Despite pandemic-related setbacks, her infectious optimism regarding the project is evident.
