‘I’M THE PEACEMAKER OF THE GROUP’ REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NAIROBI STAR LISA CHRISTOFFERSEN REVEALS

Reality star and rally driver Lisa Christoffersen says she is the peacemaker in Real Housewives of Nairobi.

While speaking to Buzz Central, Christoffersen said she joined the reality series to show how beautiful Kenya is, “I received a phone call from the producer, Carol Ngunjiri, asking for a meeting. And of course, I was curious what this meeting was about. When she told me it was about The Real Housewives of Nairobi, I laughed so hard at first because, first of all, I’m nobody’s wife and I’ve never been a housewife. So I went for the meeting, and Carol convinced me that it was a reality show so it would also reflect who Lisa was, and things that I’m passionate about in my life. And thinking about it, this is also like being an ambassador; I can show the world how beautiful Kenya is, and it is magical.”

Adding that she developed sisterhood on the show, “I have had a very interesting journey thus far. I have met incredible people, and I am very positively surprised about my fellow cast members because we’ve actually developed a form of sisterhood. There’s a beautiful camaraderie between us, and an understanding and sticking together through thick and thin, and that was very unexpected.”

She says Kenyans are in for an adventure, “They’re going to love the things that I do that are very different, from being a female motorsports rally driver to taking the ladies to tyre clinics and other adventurelust things that I’m all about. Like loving safari life, and being positive at all times.

This is a wonderful opportunity for me to show how empowering women in motorsports are. When I founded the Lioness Rally (the first women-only rally team in Kenya), it was to take women to a different level in life, just like steering a vehicle in the direction that you want to go, fearlessly with a lot of focus. Motorsport is a male-dominated sport but we want to try and change that, and take it to the next level.”

However, fans should not expect her in any drama, “You will see Lisa always on time at every event. You will also see me engaging the women in a fun and positive way. I am always the one standing in between the ladies when they’re arguing or when there’s drama going on, and trying to calm one or two of the ladies down. You can call me the peacemaker, like now, wrap up, it’s time to go home.”
