Zari Hassan Narrates Growing Up With Expectation Of Getting Married To A Wealthy Man

Speaking to BBC Swahili, Zari candidly admits her youthful vision of marrying into wealth. But as she matured, the reality of achieving such a lifestyle set in. Undeterred, Zari embraced a different path, one fueled by her own determination and hard work.

“I said it is not easy,” she declares. “When I realized I wanted a good life, I got the motivation to say I don’t come from a rich family, but it was my responsibility.” This became her driving force, transforming the childhood dream of “wearing gold” into a passion for building her own empire.

And build she did. Today, Zari stands as a successful businesswoman and media personality, married to Shakib Cham, a union celebrated with both intimate Muslim and lavish white wedding ceremonies. The latter saw Ghanaian musician Fantana, once linked to Zari’s former partner, in attendance, a testament to her resilience and ability to move beyond past chapters.

Zari’s story is a powerful reminder that achieving a good life isn’t always about who you marry or the gold you wear. It’s about chasing your own definition of success, fueled by hard work and unwavering determination. In this way, Zari has turned her childhood dream into a reality, not of gilded cages, but of self-made empowerment and a life truly “larger than life.”
