Early life

Mkamzee’s upbringing was a regular urban one. She attended the Nairobi Primary School where her father was a teacher. "He taught maths and we were always thrilled to see his name on the back of the textbook we used in class. He never taught me, though."

She went to the renowned Moi Nairobi Girls’ School for her secondary education and then on to Saint Mary’s for the international Baccalaureate programme. The IB course was the beginning of the life she is living now.

She majored in theatre arts because I did not want to do economics.

Because of the structure of the IB programme, and her area of study, she found herself doing theatre productions in the two years she was at Saint Mary’s, paving the way for a theatre career after graduation.

While waiting to join university after the IB programme, she went to audition for a musical at the national theatre. Her friends and she auditioned just for fun." Her IB training paid off and she landed the lead role (as Sarafina in the musical of the same name) and was even paid to do the job!

After three years on stage [2003 to 2006], she finally joined the State University of New York in Buffalo to study film and theatre.
