Natasha Sinayobye is the celebrity we think we know, yet we don’t. And, indeed even after our sit-down chat with her for the September 2019 issue, we still are sure we don’t know her. However, during the chat, she shared some not so powerful quotes on life, fearlessness, failure, and family which give us a glimpse into her brain.
We thought it best to give you the bite sized version of all the wisdom she dropped.
- “You can be assertive without being defensive.”
- “I believe everyone should encourage their kids and tell them all the time; ‘you look beautiful’, ‘you are beautiful’. You are the one person they trust at that age. So you should tell them.”
- “I give to charity but I don’t call the press. But I don’t judge those who do. My mother taught me; when your left hand gives, your right should not know what you have done.”
- “You see, ‘taking care of you’ doesn’t mean you do not work for yourself.”
- “Even if you do something that brings you 500 shs per day, do it.”
- “Money is sweeter when it’s made by you.”
- “I have really worked, this is why people sometimes say ‘I think that chick is like 50 years old.’”
- “I love the hustle, I love the hustle I’m not going to lie. I love the challenge.”
- “The fact that people underestimated me, made me so aggressive.
- “Farming looks like the easiest thing to do but it’s so hard.”
- “It’s not like it only rains or shines on Tasha’s farm. No there’s no exception, it affects everyone and all of us.”
- “We live in a generation where we must look cool; farming is not Instagram cool.”
- “My name is Natasha Sinayobye, once in a while I’m a celebrity. It’s not my life.”
