• The beautiful lady has opened up about the time she quit her 9-5 job to be a full-time content creator.

Content creator and influencer, Natalie Tewa, has revealed in a Q and A session she did on her Youtube channel how and when she made her first million.

She revealed that she studied Architectural Engineering at the University of Leeds.

Then for two and a half years, she did project management and construction then quit her job to become a content creator.

She says she just realized working a 9-5 was really something that didn't bring her much joy and being confined to one task and space daily was tiring for her.

"So I moved into content creation and 6 months into it I realized this is what I wanted to do, like I was just getting paid to attend events and post about them."

She says she made her first million at the age of 25/26 and it was from content creation yet she always thought it would be her 9-5 that made her rich.

Natalie says she remembers one of her first influencing jobs she got paid Sh80,000 to attend an event for 6 hrs and just put up 4 posts about the event.

She says this is when she realized that she was in the right space because as a content creator, one also gets to travel, set your own schedule and do things at your own pace.

This is something she values because while growing up she has always been someone who does well when left in environments where she takes charge of everything on her own.

To her, this was one of the most life-changing moments and decisions that she has ever made in her life.

She equated this change in careers to the time she transferred schools from Precious Blood Riruta to Makini school where she also found that learning was quite different from what she was used to in Makini.
