Anne Kiguta Biography
“Media is a testosterone driven business. No we are not treated like equals. but its up to you to make your presence felt and take your position. I have faced my fair of chauvinism. Even now, with some male peers, they still from time to time talk down to women. Having said that, I have also had the fortune to work work with great men in this business who didn’t shoo me away from their offices with my million questions as a young journalist. The challenges have become a powerful motivator for me. I strive to be doubly good at what I do. Having said that, who wants to be treated as equals? I’m a woman, specially designed by my creator to bring things to life. I was made for greatness. Treat me special because I am!”
“No. But isn’t that the story that some bloggers would love to tell! it is as if women can’t get ahead without cat-fights or sleeping around. Anyway, I do not shy away from challenges or opportunity. I do my homework and put my best foot forward always! I focus on Anne. I’m her number one cheerleader and her fiercest critic. I don’t look over my shoulder to see who is doing what. I have my mission and my purpose and I’m determined to accomplish it. I have been blessed to achieve many firsts throughout my career. First to go straight to prime time, being the youngest to hold several editorial positions etc. These things did not come on a silver platter. They have come through a lot of prayer and hard work. I’m proud of my accomplishments and thankful for the opportunity to do what I do.”

Anne Kigutas Daughter
“I am 30 years old and the last of four girls. I grew up in an average Kenyan family. We weren’t wealthy and my parents made it abundantly clear that I had to work for everything I wanted in life. So I learnt the values of work, determination and tenacity quite early in life. My upbringing was difficult because I was raised in a home where my father physically assaulted my mother and on occasion my sisters and myself. It was a very painful experience but many beautiful things have come out of that including the work I do with Kenyan families. I am part of various mentorship programmes in Kenya for women and girls with save the children as a child nutrition advocate. I am also a mother to the coolest kid I know, Sasha,”

Anne Kiguta Married – Anne Kiguta Husband
Anne Kiguta was once a victim of an abusive relationship? Speaking about her ordeal to True Love, the hot TV siren gave details of her life that she has never told anyone.

According to her, she did not leave him but stayed in the relationship mainly because of her baby but after the third beating she packed her bags and left. In her own words, that was the best decision she has ever made in her life.
Currently she is in a serious relationship with a very good man and she has been with him for the past one year and four months. She further added that she has never been married.
Ann Kiguta Biography – Interview
The first impression I got from Anne Kiguta the first time I got to know her is not the fact that she’s uniquely beautiful (I love her Modesty Blaise hair flare) and her exceptionally smart personality. She’s a rare kind of a woman, not only because of her outstanding achievements and persona, but also because of her tenacity. She has overcome chauvinism at places of work and abuse by both her dad and ex-boyfriend.
Anne Kiguta Dossier
“MY UPBRINGING WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE I WAS RAISED IN A HOME WHERE MY FATHER PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED MY MOTHER AND ON OCCASION MY SISTERS AND MYSELF. IT WAS A VERY PAINFUL EXPERIENCE BUT MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS HAVE COME OUT OF THAT INCLUDING THE WORK I DO WITH KENYAN FAMILIES,” SHE TOLD ELLE AFRIQUE ONLINE IN 2013.
However, she has kept her glow on every single day. Even if she is going through a difficult day, she has never let her friends and fans feel low because of it. She’s always smiling and treating us all with witty quotes on her Instagram and Twitter.
From her days as a news anchor at KTN to her senior position at Citizen TV today, she has exhibited growth and maturity. Anne is an epitome of what a contemporary Kenyan girl should look up to.
I talked to the bubbly presenter on balancing motherhood and work life, her love for fashion and stuff she would not do for fame. Here’s the conversation; enjoy!
Interviewer : Anne, as one of the top Kenyan TV personalities, there is pressure that comes with it, especially now that you’re a mom. Your fans expect you to achieve even more. How do you manage to balance work and taking care of your beautiful daughter?
Ann Kiguta: Well I don’t know that I actually balance it. But if it looks that way, great! I’m all about the ‘manageable crazy’. I always have a couple of things going at the same time and to be perfectly honest I could do with another two hours of sleep and a lot more of the spa! But I guess the trick is just learning to prioritize. When you look at the things we think are so important, many of them actually aren’t.
So I weigh things and what I can do without, I do without. I don’t have to be at every event or buzzing new place or take on every project etc. I’ve learnt to differentiate between the temporal and permanent things in my life. My daughter, our relationship- that is permanent. My career is important and deeply fulfilling but not permanent. So the golden rule is never invest the permanent in the temporary.
Interviewer : What are the 3 three things you would never do for fame?
Ann Kiguta: Sacrifice my relationship with my daughter. She comes first in my life. Another thing would be giving up my values and spirituality. It’s what has brought me this far. Finally, I would NEVER undermine my colleagues to get my own way.
Interviewer: You’re known to be a fashion lover. I even met you at the Fashion High Tea earlier this year. Whose fashion do you admire locally and Africa-wide?
Ann Kiguta: I like the local brother-sister style of Papa Petit and Velma Rossa of ‘2manysiblings’. I love the art and culture fusion in what they wear. And if I wasn’t covering politics I’d probably be wearing that because deep down I just want to be in my ripped jeans.
I’m inspired by Kenya’s Zeddie Lukoe who’s based in New York & Wambui Kibue here in Nairobi. Zeddie’s bespoke work is clean, simple yet very elevated. There’s something about a man in a well-tailored suit and its good to see Kenyan men embracing fashion.
I’m crushing on African designers like Mozambique’s Taibo Bacar. He really has an understanding of the feminine form. Shout out to Tanzania’s Jacqueline Kibacha who’s based in the UK. I’m fascinated by her jewelry line and especially the timeless ‘Uhuru wings’.
I’m also loving Nigeria’s Ese Azenabor. She’s based in the States and specializes in embellished looks. And I for one love a little bling here and there…and everywhere. Lol!
Interviewer: Your biggest professional lesson while you’ve been a news anchor?
Ann Kiguta: Anything can happen. And it usually does, especially when you least expect it. You have to be ready at all times and for anything and everything. Once that camera is rolling there is no such thing as “take-two”. You get one chance and once chance only.
