Meet Amina Abdi Rabar, Kenya’s Cardi B and East Africa’s most stylish female host
Amina Abdi Rabar is a Nairobi born and bred media personality whose outstanding skills have seen her wear many hats, from TV, to radio, to MCeeing, to her unique sense of fashion, Amina is an all-round talent.
An award-winning radio and TV presenter who I feel has not been appreciated enough or better still, a public figure whose big break we might not be prepared for.

Rap prowess
Unknown to many, Amina Abdi started her career in music parallel to her kick off on radio over a decade ago, but had to give it up because the corruption was just too much to bear.
Despite it all, Amina has proven she was crafted for the rap industry after her recent fine-tuned rap demo that left mouths agape.
The setting was ordinary, having her hair done and her looks sharpened before daring:
