Big Brother All Stars Bio
It was on Big Brother Africa 3 that African television audiences met Kenyan television reporter Sheila for the first time.
Now the 25-year-old, who works as a writer, director, actor and emcee, is back for a new season and when asked what she is going to do to make sure she isn't voted out this time she says: "Just be as smart as possible. I hope there will be conspiring. I'm not really good at that but I'll give it my best shot."
Listing her good qualities as: "I'm caring and passionate", Sheila says that if her friends had to name one of her worst qualities, it would be that she is super impatient. She also says that one of her bad habits is procrastination.
Her message to viewers is: "I know you'll enjoy watching me". With a personal motto that reads: "It's never that serious", Sheila describes herself as a people person. "Even if we don't speak the same language, I'll always find our common denominator."
Asked about her special talent Sheila says: "I'm good at making you feel good about yourself."
An admirer of efficiency, the Nairobi-born housemate dislikes: "People with no foresight, no ambition." Commenting on what makes her laugh out loud she says: "People who try to figure me out. I'm still trying to figure me out."
