Sugar: The Socialite

Bridget Achieng is a Kenyan model, socialite, and reality TV star. She takes us back to the slums where she grew up, and talks frankly about how she made herself famous.

In Kenya, "sugar daddy" relationships are out in the open - in nightclubs, on campuses, and all over social media.

Bridget Achieng is a Kenyan model, socialite, and reality TV star. But she didn’t always live the glam life. She takes us back to the slums where she grew up, and talks frankly about how she made herself famous through sex appeal, rich tycoons, and social media.

Following some inaccurate coverage of Bridget in the Kenyan media, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ would like to make clear that - as we show in our film - Bridget ran a jewellery business, contributes to Nairobi Diaries, and leads a charitable foundation for children in Kibera. She currently runs an interior design consultancy in Nairobi, and has recently announced that she is expecting a baby.
