Wednesday, March 26, 2025 - Comedian and content creator Elsa Majimbo has shared the story of how she transitioned from living in South Africa to making a life in the United States.
Before moving to the U.S at 20, the Kenyan-born star had
been living in Johannesburg.
"It all started when I was living in Johannesburg,
South Africa.”
“One of my friends, Francesca, asked if we could go to Cape
Town," she recalled.
While in Cape town, another friend invited her to Ghana for
a weekend - but she ended up staying the entire summer.
"That was the last time I lived in Johannesburg,"
she said.
"When summer was over, my team asked me to fly to New
York.”
“On my first day in New York, my manager took me for a
fitting at the Valentino store. I got so sick."
Despite the rocky start, Majimbo went on to walk the
prestigious Met Gala red carpet, marking her official arrival in the U.S
entertainment scene.
Now fully independent, she relishes the freedom of living on
her own, away from her parents.
"They’re (her parents) literally my best friends, but
living with them…?" she joked about her parents.
"It’s my roof, my rules. Having friends come and go,
even at midnight, without needing to explain - that’s phenomenal."
Since rising to fame during the COVID-19 lockdown with her
witty, deadpan humor, Majimbo has secured major brand deals and earned
recognition from stars like Rihanna and Naomi Campbell.
