US based Kenyan comedienne Elsa Majimbo has expressed her desire to share with others and the need to give back to the society.
In a video shared on social media, the 22 year old said she makes so much money and even after trying to spend it on nice things there is still alot more left.
Elsa said she didn't feel the need to keep all the money to herself yet there are other people who need it more than she does.
"A little over a year ago, I asked them to drain all the money in my bank account and give it to people who need it more than I do. My reasoning was, as a 20-year-old I couldn't justify earning half a million dollars (over KSh 60 million). It's on Forbes, it's public information. I couldn't justify that. Like I just didn't need that kind of money to support my lifestyle. And don't get me wrong, I don't deprive myself of luxury, I fly first class, I like a nice Gucci bag, I love a nice Prada bag, but still, there's more left."
The comedian said she needed to be a light to other people and to bless others with what she has.
n I came to this decision they were telling me, you've earned it, you're so talented, you're so deserving but other people are so talented too, why aren't they in my position. Other people are so deserving too to be in the position I'm in today. I'm I grateful for what I earn? Yes. Do I love what I earn? Yes. Yes. Do I want to continue what I'm earning and more? Are you joking, absolutely. But, I have more. And I will always have more. I want my blessings to bless other people."
