Faith Nekesa, popularly known as Dem Wa Facebook, has quickly risen to fame as one of Kenya’s most promising entertainers. The year 2024 proved to be a turning point for this young talent, marking her journey from humble beginnings to stardom. Through resilience, hard work, and countless blessings, she is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Early Life and Background
Born in Butere, Western Kenya, Dem Wa Facebook later moved to Bungoma, where she spent most of her childhood. From an early age, she was known for her humor and charisma. However, comedy wasn’t her initial career path—she was a passionate footballer, excelling as a defender in high school and college competitions. Her dream was to make it big in football, but fate had other plans.
Breaking Into Comedy
Dem Wa Facebook first gained national attention in 2020 when she debuted on the Churchill Show during a special edition held in Kakamega. She seized the opportunity, delivered an outstanding performance, and officially kick-started her journey into the comedy industry.
At the time, she was a student at Sang’alo College, pursuing a diploma in Plumbing. However, after her breakthrough in comedy, she put her studies on hold to focus on entertainment. Despite this, she remains well-educated and career-driven.
Overcoming Challenges
Just as she thought the Churchill Show would change her life, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, forcing the show to halt live recordings. As a newcomer in the industry, she faced uncertainty but refused to give up. Seeking guidance, she approached Mulamwah, who mentored her on how to monetize content online. Through collaborations and short skits, he helped introduce her to a wider audience.
Between 2022 and 2023, Dem Wa Facebook continued creating content but struggled financially. Despite the challenges, she remained persistent, believing that her breakthrough was just a matter of time.
The Big Break: Collaboration with Obinna
Her patience paid off in 2024, when her destiny took a major turn after meeting Obinna. After featuring in an interview on his platform, fans couldn’t get enough of her, leading to a surge in popularity. Recognizing her potential, Obinna took her under his wing, and together, they launched The Weekly Show on YouTube.
Within just three months, the channel amassed millions of views and became monetized, generating significant revenue. Thanks to Obinna’s branding expertise, Dem Wa Facebook is evolving into a household name in the Kenyan entertainment scene.
A Star in the Making
Dem Wa Facebook’s journey is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of self-belief. From a footballer and plumbing student to a fast-rising millionaire in the entertainment industry, her story is nothing short of inspirational. With her growing brand, she is well on her way to becoming one of Kenya’s biggest comedy sensations.
Her story is proof that hard work, consistency, and the right connections can turn dreams into reality. The best is yet to come for Dem Wa Facebook!
