Catherine Kamau, better known as Kate Actress, is a renowned actress and content creator in Kenya. With her rise to success, Kate has become a valuable brand worth millions. She was born and raised in Nyahururu, Kenya and is currently married to Philip Karanja with two children.
Kate’s education journey began in Mombasa where she attended primary school. During her secondary school years, she went to Chogoria Girls but was later expelled and transferred to Loreto Girls. It was here where she gained recognition and won the title of Mrs. Loreto.
However, at the young age of 19, Kate’s life took a drastic turn when she got pregnant while studying in Uganda. Despite the disappointment, she learned the importance of responsibility and took care of her child before returning to school.
Kate’s dream of becoming a certified public accountant (CPA) hit a rough patch when she failed her CPA exams at KCA University, only passing one unit in business law. But this setback didn’t stop her from pursuing her passion. She dropped out of KMC during her second year to take on an acting role in Citizen TV’s “Mother in Law.” Her performance earned her recognition and numerous brand ambassador opportunities.
Kate’s talent and exceptional acting skills caught the attention of Netflix, resulting in her appearance in the film “Disconnect.” With her increasing fame and fortune, Kate decided to launch her own cosmetic company, House of Nyumba. Her love for cosmetics led her to create a lip care brand that has quickly gained popularity and success.
