The star and her entourage are in the country as guests of award-winning filmmaker/Artist and Hollywood Industry Insider Lovince Mckenzie who was born and raised in Kenya before moving to Holly wood where he has emerged as a force to reckon with in entertainment.
Nicole landed at JKIA in the company of her host and longtime friends Rita Ewing and Frantz Michel.
Her entourage also included Olu the Wave and Steadi Color who will be putting his acclaimed skills to use, ensuring that the documentary on their experience has high quality images and creative vision.
They were received with pomp and colour at the Jomo Kenyatta international airport with dancing troupes donning traditional Masai cultural attire.
What Nicole & her entourage experienced in Kenya
Opening up on her expectations, Nicole shared that she is looking forward to an amazing adventure in which she will sample all that she can about Magical Kenya.
From its wildlife to safari adventure, the food, the culture, the amazing scenery, historical sites and the pristine sandy beaches, everything is on the table for the star to sample.
“I want to experience everything, I want to try the food, the culture...you guys are beautiful. I love the ceremony. I am just looking forward to everything.” She explained.
Inspiration to travel to Kenya
The star noted that her life took a different direction following the death of a loved one.
“I lost someone very dear to me and made me realise life is too short and I am now on a new chapter in my life, I am an empty nester. And I figured it is time to take the world by storm I love travelling and I want to go to places I have never been to.
“I happened to be walking around my neighbourhood and the Kenya Embassy is around. I ended up standing there infornt of it and you know what, this is the place I want to go. I happen to know Lovince who is an amazing afrobeat artiste and he hooked it up.” She explained.
Interests in Kenya & collaboration with Bien of Sauti Sol
Although this is her maiden visit, the star’s place and presence in Kenya will increasingly become prominent going by the plans she hinted at during a media interview.
“I am thrilled to be here, this is my very first time in Kenya. I keep hearing all these wonderful things about it.
“Hopefully I will get to do some business here in the future and I will definitely tell all my friends about Kenya. It is a beautiful place. A lot of us in the states do not know what you have to offer.” Nicole explained.
A new collaboration between Lovince and Bien Aime of the acclaimed Sauti Sol band is also in the works.
Their experience visiting magical Kenya will be filmed in a documentary format that will highlight Kenya's beauty and breakdown African stereotypes that permeate film and creative spaces.
