From music to movies, series: Celebrities who won awards in 2021

2021 has been a great year for so many people; from getting new jobs, landing deals, taking that leap of faith, you name.

It came with its own fair share of blessings.

Movies and series have been our companions for so many years.

Some of us learnt how to speak just by watching programs and yes we have learnt a lot along the way.

The Kenyan entertainment industry has grown and if you're a true fan of the industry, you can attest to this.

Opportunities have presented themselves in so many ways.

If I can give a few examples, Netflix and Showmax have really opened doors for so many artists.

Local programs are now gaining traction from all corners of the continent and abroad.

Our very own are winning awards and gaining recognition left, right and centre and we love that for all of them.

With hard work comes fruits and results and the reward may come in form of trophy money or any other kind.

Most creatives are rewarded with awards, especially artists, artists where one is nominated for a specific category and the public participate in choosing whom they think deserves the award.

In Kenya, we have very many award ceremonies that appreciate the hard work done.

Well, this year we have witnessed some of the most talented get the awards they deserve.
