SHOW ME THE LIGHT TO FAME.



What is fame? Probably a question that most of the current generation pull of their hair trying to answer. However easy it might look or seem from the many popular superstars we have globally but one lady tends to disagree by the notion that is fame.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden with African origin and Tanzania to be specific, meet Lady Nuru Magram popularly known as NURU THE LIGHT in the music circles. She has seen it all or say most of the fame that any star can have. Nuru is a musician, an artist a dancer and an entrepreneur with investments back home in Dar es Salaam while she does consulting in Sweden where she is based.
As an advice to the upcoming artists and those on their way to stardom, Nuru puts it clear; “Fame is weighty, fame is a responsibility that not just anybody can handle, I meet several people who insist that dear Nuru help me become famous, I am a musician and I know I am good, I want to try fashion too like you or others also want to be professional dancers etc.
“My question to all of them is; you want to do music because it is your talent and calling or you want to do it for fame?”




“Do you even understand what fame is?” I’ve been famous since I was 16 till up to date, Fame is not what I wanted but it just came about from the work I do and my achievements in the society”.
I want you to ask yourself “What is fame to you? Is it something you can handle?
Fame comes both ways in the best ways and the worst ways. Fame comes with challenges that maybe you would not have undergone if you were not famous.
Fame is like an addictive drug that when you just taste and it gets into your system, it both runs to your head and overwhelms you. Making you lose focus and direction in life leaving all the people depending on you at crossroads and confused. On the other hand if you use your fame in a wise way and keep your integrity, you can change the society in ways that not even the president can do.
 

It is also not a must you be famous to become a role model and bring change. We should live every day knowing that in our environment there are people looking up to us as their inspiration and ambassadors. These people want to follow your footsteps and therefore we have to live responsibly.
Ladies specifically must learn to invest and be self-reliant and independent. I am personally an entrepreneur and an investor back home in Tanzania. I wake up daily knowing I have a responsibility to fulfil and above all I am a role model to many who would one day want to be like me.
I preach love and peace in my music. I don’t like disrespect; I am humble and down to earth. I am fun loving and love fashion. Everything about me is fashionable in my own way.
I keep praying that the youth in my home country back in Africa can wake up, say no to poverty and learn to hustle their own way out of desperacy without expecting help from politicians and other popular people who take advantage of their weakness to exploit them.

  1. I love this Roosevelt. The story touches a nerve and is quite insightful not because I like fame but because I wonder if I would ever be able handle it were I to become famous. I gaurd my privacy jealously & really choose who can enter into that private realm. With fame, this is the first part of your life to go.At the same time one cannot transcend some careers/passions without putting their neck out there into the public eye. It's really a catch 22 situation.

  2. Yeah sure Pauline Fame can be a two edged sword just as our lovely Nuru THE LIGHT puts it.
    You have to tread carefully in it.
