Milly WaJesus is excited about turning 30. The third floor for her is something she is looking forward to.

In an interview with Priscilla Ndanu, Milly revealed little-known details about herself.

Here are interesting things you need to know about the digital content creator.

Her real name is Millicent Wambui Nganga, but Kenyans know her as Milly WaJesus. She is married to Peter Kabi aka Kabi WaJesus and together they have two kids.

Her initial name was Milly Shangash. She changed her name in 2014 while opening her Facebook page.

"I became Milly wa Jesus in 2014, That's when I changed my name I used to call myself some very interesting names. You see that time when you were opening a Facebook account, you were green, you didnt understand you were asked what you want to call yourself, your nickname, I didnt have a nickname.

"In school I was called Millicent, So when I was opening my Facebook, I was like ah what's my nickname? so I just called myself Milly Shangash," Milly said.

Milly is the first born child in a family of five. She got into the social media space to do business and this has always been her career of choice.

"I've always been an entrepreneur, when I was getting into social media life, I was already doing business. Business for me is something I love doing. When I was growing up I knew I wanted to become a businesswoman, I didnt want those other things," Milly added.

Her goal is to build a family brand "We sell men's clothes and very soon will do women and kids. Very soon we will do a whole range for families. We want to have a family brand.

The digital content creator also disclosed that she was born in Muranga when her mum was just 18 years old.

"Nilizaliwa kwa nyumba kw akitchen, ushai ona zile mawe tatu za kando tuu hapo? My mum got me when she was very young," she added.

Her birth certificate shows she was born in Dandora, "I dont know which hospital I was taken to but in my birth certificate inaonyesha nilizaliwa Dandora. But najua penye nilizaliwa. I think what happened is my dad and mother were not together when I was born. She was just young and she was pregnant.

When I was born my Dad came to mum's place and asked for a hand in marriage. But they didnt do that exactly, they ran away."

She added that "My grandfather did not accept his daughter to get married at that age, so they run away,".

People called her 'dunderhead' because she was always last in class. 

"In terms of academics, I was very behind. In Class 3 I could not say my name I could not count, some of my uncles would come and ridicule me. the whole family knew I would be called dunderhead to my face" she shared. But along the way, things changed as she pushed herself."
