Kenyan socialite turned reality TV star, Bridget Achieng bleached her skin after facing rejection from a media house.
The voluptuous beauty consumed roughly Ksh 3 Million to undergo her skin lightening procedure.
A move she attributes to getting her confidence back.

Over the weekend, while speaking to NTV´s Dr Kingori, the proud mother of 1 opens up.
I didn’t change my skin colour because of a man, I changed it to feel good about myself.
Because at that time I felt that if I complied to society’s standards of beauty, I would look better and get anything I want.
Unfortunately, the cause was our very own media houses.
I once went to an interview for a TV station. I won’t mention the name.
I was the first runners up but walinikataa juu mimi ni mweusi wakachukua msichana mwingine hapo zero-zero juu ni light skin.
So kutoka hapo nilijam. Nikasema ni juu ya kupaka mafuta? Nikaamua kupaka mafuta nikuwe mweupe.

Fortunately for her, she has no regrets because it seems it was all for the better.
It has worked in my favour. I don’t regret doing it anyway that’s why I say it boldly.
