From Los Angeles red carpet to US Embassy talks, Madam Boss secures key partnership
LOVE her or hate her, Zimbabwean socialite and 2021 E! People’s Choice Award for African Social Star, Madam Boss is undeniably on a roll.
Fresh from the recently held glitz and glamour of the BET Awards in Los Angeles, the comedian has now sealed a partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Harare, Zimbabwe, which will see her opening doors for the Zimbabwean entertainment industry.
Madam Boss, real name Tyra Chikocho, wasted no time upon her return, heading straight to the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy suite, accompanied by her husband, Ngoni Munetsiwa.
The US Embassy announced her visit in a Facebook post, about her “independently earned U.S. experiences.”
“From the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards red carpet to our Public Diplomacy suite – E! People’s Choice Award winner Madam Boss briefed us on her independently earned U.S. experiences and outlined plans to grow the business of comedy in Zimbabwe. We appreciate her insights and collaboration. Thanks for stopping by!,” said the US Embassy in Zimbabwe
In response to the US Embassy post, Madam Boss, revealed the collaboration with the embassy.
“Thank you for the invite and as discussed we greatly appreciate your pledge to support and collaborate with the Madam Boss Brand through our Madam Boss Foundation and all our business initiatives- thank you, the future is great,” she responded.
Madam Boss’ recent BET Awards attendance sparked criticisms from people on social media, a sentiment which was swiftly challenged by Earground founder, Plot Mhako, who urged critics, “The hate Madam Boss is getting from some Zimbos for being at the BET Awards is wild. If it’s that easy, go ahead and do it yourself.
“Until then, let her live her moment in peace. Success isn’t easy – let’s support those bold enough to chase it,” he wrote. NewZimbabwe
