TV icon Lilian Muli reveals her father's role in shaping her career, her pivot to farming, and the financial discipline needed to survive the limelight.

She is the face of prime-time news, a glamorous icon of Kenyan media. But behind the perfectly coiffed hair and the teleprompter lies a story of grit, farming, and a father’s deferred dream.
In a candid revelation on the "She Means Business" show, Citizen TV’s Lilian Muli peeled back the layers of her 15-year career. It wasn't journalism she originally chased—it was law, a path chosen by her late father, a stern advocate who envisioned his daughter in a wig and gown, not a newsroom.
"My dad looked at me and said, 'You are not a lawyer,'" Muli recalled with a laugh that didn't quite hide the nostalgia. "He frogmarched me to Daystar University. He saw something in me I didn't see in myself."
That paternal instinct birthed a media powerhouse. Yet, Muli is now pivoting to a new passion that grounds her far from the studio lights: farming. It is a return to the soil, a move to secure a legacy beyond the fickle fame of TV.
Lilian Muli is no longer just a "TV girl." She is a brand, a mother, and an entrepreneur. Her story is a masterclass in reinvention—proving that you can honor your roots while growing new branches.
For the millions watching her tonight, know this: the woman reading the news is already writing her next chapter.
