Nicholas Munene Mutuma 

Nick describes himself as an ambitious self-driven individual who HOPES to change the world!  At 22, he has managed to establish himself in the film/entertainment industry as a force to reckon with. The Nation newspaper (Kenya's most read paper) named him one of the people to look out for in the year 2010.

Munene landed his first acting stint in May 2008 in a locally produced drama series calledTabasamu. That same year he went on to clinch a principal role (Richard Mbotela) in an M-Net drama TV seriesChangeswhich is now in its second season & watched in over forty countries. His breakthrough on the global entertainment scene came in 2009 when he got a role as Leo in the MTV HIV/AIDS awareness series dubbedShuga. He says, "HIV/AIDS has always been real to me. I have lost friends and relatives and have an aunt who is living positively. I got tested a few days after we were done filmingShugabecause I didn't know my status. My character (Leo) advocated for circumcision, correct and consistent use of condoms, testing and killing the stigma attached to HIV. Getting tested for me was my first step in showing my commitment of serving as an example to Kenyan Youth."
