I first saw @officialjanetmbugua on Rush, the TV series, back in 2013. I loved her performance as an actress and knew I’d want to work with her someday. Eventually, I found the perfect role for her on @kash_money_series , but it took about two months to lock her down because of (our schedule and her schedule). As for @therealjohnsibioku, 🙌🏽 casting him was a no-brainer, but our casting manager reached out to him twice, and he said NO 😂😂😂. I told @theonlybrianrobert to tell him he had no choice, and the rest is history. It was an incredible experience shaping the vision with all the talented people on the show. Their professionalism and eagerness to learn were truly inspiring. Here’s one of my favorite scenes between the two—watching it in silence still captures the underlying tension and mistrust. Shoutout to my co-director, the amazing @grace_is_kahaki Kash Money is live on Netflix www.insigniaproductions.global

As a founder, navigating both the highs and challenges is part of the journey. The recent USAID Stop Work order impacted one of our key programs at Inua Dada, prompting us to pivot, rethink, and rebuild, while weathering loss, anger, confusion and hurt. It’s not easy, but the experience reinforces the importance of failing forward and seizing opportunities to innovate. The mission hasn’t changed—only the approach. What’s a lesson you’ve learned from starting over? #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #FailingForward #StartingOver #Lessons #Resilience
“The sun came out, and so did the possibilities.” ✨ This morning at Muthaiga Golf Club, we “teed off” with more than just golf—we teed off a crucial conversation. How do we fix sports in Kenya? Is it poor governance, weak marketing, or a lack of investment in homegrown talent? On Fixing The Nation, alongside @absakenya Group MD & CEO Abdi Mohamed, we sat down with professionals from Football, Volleyball, Tennis, e-Sports, and more. Most of them said that equity in sports isn’t just about players—it’s about building pathways for management, coaching, and the business of sports to thrive. Let’s create a system that works 🙌🏾 #FixingTheNation one conversation at a time— weekdays from 6AM to 10AM on @ntvkenya, @nationfm, and across social media. #MKO2025 #MagicalKenyaOpen #Equity in sports #OnAir

Spending time with young changemakers at the Young Leaders in Education Summit in Nairobi recently, was a powerful reminder of why this work matters. Their passion, boldness, and belief in their agency prove that this generation isn’t just waiting—they’re demanding more! From advocating for Early Childhood Development (ECD) to pushing private sector leaders on youth skills investment, the movement is alive. Every action counts, and we’re just getting started. Thank you, @theirworldorg and the @globalbusinesscoalition, for fueling these critical conversations! ✨ How are YOU driving change? Let’s keep the momentum going 🙌🏾 ! #Theirworld #YoungLeaders #EducationForAll #ActForEarlyYears”
So much to unpack about the AUC Chair race this weekend and beyond—I’ll be covering it tomorrow from 6 AM to 10 AM, all week on Nation TV, Nation Radio, and more. In the meantime, here’s a little throwback and some reflection for your Sunday! A few weeks ago, my boys had the most priceless reaction when they saw me featured on the Kash Money poster and trailer before it dropped on Netflix—they rushed to call my parents ASAP! That little moment took me way back… to a time when conversations with them like this weren’t even possible. And somehow, that sent me down memory lane, reminiscing about those early motherhood years—beautiful, but whew! Not enough people talk about the full picture at baby showers. We need to be radically honest about parenting—the highs, the lows, and all the unexpected moments in between. Ama? Also, shoutout to @new_sarvid for the delicious Kuku Bahati! (Apologies for the typos on the subtitles🙏🏾) #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #ParentingUnfiltered #MotherhoodMusings

What stops us from looking within to truly address what’s happening around us? One week into Fixing The Nation on @ntvkenya and @nationfm_kenya, I’m reflecting on a powerful Live conversation with Bunge La Mwananchi, a grassroots movement driving civic education, policy awareness, and voter rights. Alongside @ericlatiff, @mariambishar, and our guest @julianikenya, we tackled tough questions and arrived at one truth—real change begins with honest self-reflection. Are we ready to face it and take action? Let’s keep the conversation going—tune in daily from 6 AM to 10 AM on NTV, Nation FM, and online. And catch me weekly on #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua! Special thanks to our producer @wangechi.muriuki for making it all happen! #FixingTheNation, one conversation at a time. #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #BungeLaMwananchi #NationMedia #ConversationsThatMatter #SelfAudit #ReflectionToAction #Media #Host
