Celebrated Ugandan socialite, Zari Hassan, on Thursday shared various life stories to mark her TBT.
Zari recalled the struggles she went through while schooling in the UK, where he she had to work as a house girl to make ends meet.
Unfortunately, she never harvested fruits from the cosmetology course she took in the UK.
According to the mother of five who is successful businesswoman, one cannot tell where he or she will end in life.
"Life can be a rollercoaster and you will never know where you'll end up. From studying my cosmetology course in the UK ( which hasn't helped me) while doing house girl work to pay my accommodation (yes I've been a maid before) to running through buses to get to my next stop wood green where I worked as a cashier and sometimes as an isle packer in sainsbury," read her long post in part.
Zari went further and revealed she could not watch her mother struggle in life, which catalyzed her efforts in chasing her dreams.
Regardless of bad treatment from her UK-based aunt, she insisted that 'consistence' in life is what matters most.
"Friend, I started out early wasn't even sure why me. But the inner voice in me wanted better. My dad had left, my mom was doing tailor jobs day and night I couldn't stand seeing her struggle. I couldn't stand her pain. I was living with my aunt in the UK who treated me like a step child," she added.
Zari is now based in South Africa and one of the most influential women in East Africa especially on social media.
Finally, she said "All I'm saying, consistency is key. Doesn't matter where you are or what you do. Just do it."
She also refuted claims that she inherited wealth from her late husband, Ivan Semwanga,.
