Speaking during an interview with Lynn Ngugi, Murugi Munyi said she is on a mission to build wealth and make sure to leave a legacy for her children.&nbsp;

She said that her public personality has given her the opportunity to set up sustainable ways of making money and living “life loudly”.

Giving a glimpse into her business empire, she explained that at the moment, she is focused on working on her Wild by Murugi brand, a boutique clothing, accessories and handbag store that also caters to the fashion needs of plus size women.&nbsp;

“I want to build wealth, meaning something which even when I am asleep for three months, it earns me money somehow. Something I can leave for my children. I'm really interested in building a legacy that my children can be proud of, that I can be proud of at the end of my life,” the<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/influencer-awards/pulse-influencer-awards-2023/n1rbe34"> 2023 Pulse Influencer Awards nominee</a> said.&nbsp;

Her motivation to diversify her income was further boosted by a conversation she had with her husband, about the future of social media and the regulation of online platforms.&nbsp;

Murugi also runs a podcast called The Messy In between (TMI) alongside Lydia K.M. which has been nominated for the <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/influencer-awards/podcast/3gestyr">Pulse Influencer Awards</a>.

Speaking about her personal relationship, Murugi expressed gratitude to her husband for <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/relationships-and-weddings/what-i-love-most-about-my-husband-zack-joan-murugi-munyi/yf5lpkb">being her biggest supporter and best friend</a>.

She said that Zack, whom she met during their stint at British American Tobacco, ticked all the right boxes and the decision to marry him was a no-brainer.&nbsp;

She described their engagement as one of the best moments in her life, recalling how the proposal energised her after hiking to the slopes of Mt Kenya.&nbsp;

Despite her dreamy proposal, Murugi said that, unlike many women, her wedding was not her favourite day.

She explained that she was heavy with a child at the time, and the many activities at the wedding wore her down.&nbsp;

“Don't get married when you're pregnant,” she advised. “Because you're tired the whole wedding. From morning I was just like when will we go home? I'd even told the MC, if you make me dance for longer than 20 minutes I'm leaving,” she recalled.&nbsp;

Speaking about the challenges of marriage, she opened up that past public scrutiny and allegations rocked her relationship with her husband but they managed to resolve the issues.&nbsp;

She recalled that at the height of the controversy, they both took time away from each other for about two weeks and then had a conversation about how they would move forward with their marriage.&nbsp;

Murugi said that she learned many lessons about navigating social media and being a public figure.&nbsp;
