Nairobi’s digital landscape has a new queen, and she’s only six years old. Gifted Janelle recently lit up Obinna Show Live, delivering an interview that proves age is just a number when it comes to raw talent and star power.

Host Oga Obinna didn’t hold back his praise, calling the young actress “a genius” whose online content he’d been following closely. What makes Janelle’s story even more remarkable? Her mother discovered her natural acting abilities when she was barely two years old. Since then, this pint-sized powerhouse has been captivating audiences with performances that rival seasoned entertainers.

But Janelle isn’t just about the glitz – she’s deeply rooted in her heritage. During the show, she stunned viewers by speaking fluent Luo, a mother tongue many urban children struggle with. It’s this blend of modern talent and cultural pride that sets her apart in Kenya’s content creator space.

The Secret Behind the Success

Behind every child star is a protective parent, and Janelle’s mother, Lencer, has mastered the delicate balance between building a brand and safeguarding childhood innocence.

Her approach? Complete digital protection. Janelle only accesses YouTube Kids on a controlled iPad, with all content family-scripted and produced. No toxic comments, no unfiltered internet – just pure, age-appropriate creativity.

Obinna was so impressed he declared himself Janelle’s industry “godfather,” offering his full support to the rising star.
