Hello!!! Hope the weekend was great? Did you get to watch any tv show during the weekend? On ColourMyAfrica, this week we feature a lovely young lady, TV host and presenter Mimi!!!                                                                    Mimi using our B&G fruitful apron

Let’s meet you

My name is Omowunmi Onalaja; most people simply refer to me as Mimi. I’m a short lived HR consultant turned TV presenter/Host and Actress. I’m a happy go lucky girl (most of the time) who truly believes that life can be as colourful as a rainbow, if we just let it!

What makes you a proud African?

What makes me a proud African is my positive and hopeful outlook on life.I believe Africans are some of the happiest people on earth even in the face of seemingly unfavourable odds. I tell myself all the time “Keep Hope Alive Always“, and I believe we as Africans do this every single day.

What is your favourite city in Africa (you may not have visited it yet!)

Hmmm…it’s so hard to decide! I’ve recently been told about the city of Capetown in detail and it truly sounds awesome! Zanzibar definitely has to make my list as well; It’s a gorgeous location that can rival a lot of well known vacation destinations around the world. Though I haven’t been to these two places yet, pictures don’t lie. I can’t wait to visit!

What is your favourite African TV show and why?

Another difficult choice! I’m a huge supporter of African television and 90% of my TV time is dedicated to homegrown entertainment. I apologize, but I can’t pick one. My best African TV shows will have to be the drama series “Before 30” and “Desperate Housewives”, as well as a bunch of shows on EbonylifeTV, particularly “ELNow”, “The Spot”, “Moments”, “EL Reports”, “VVIP Events” and a brand new game show called “Play2Win” which I happen to host 😀 I know I know, this is beginning to sound like an ad but I can’t help it

Describe your Africa in 10 years?

My Africa in 10 years is one where we all know and practice the true meaning of unity and oneness, an Africa with an enabling environment to foster development, one that is able to effectively utilize the material and intellectual resources that abound on the continent

How would you colour Africa and what do(es) the colour(s) represent?

I’d colour Africa pink in a heartbeat! It’s my favourite colour so it’s such an easy choice. Pink is bright and represents to me a world of ease! I’d also colour Africa Orange and Green; Orange because I see the colour and I think endless opportunities, and green because it’s such a symbol of hope, fertility and growth, everything I want for Africa Which B&G product(s) do you like the most & what makes it/ them unique?

The Aprons! It’s such a genius idea to make Ankara infused aprons in so many bright colors and patterns and I definitely saw them at B&G first! Regards, Omowunmi ‘Mimi’ Onalaja
