Big Brother Africa Profile
Cleo is from Lusaka. Single with a daughter, she is currently looking to further her studies beyond her Grade 12 certificate.
She entered Big Brother because it’s something she’s always seen herself doing. “I have been trying to enter Big Brother since I was 21,” she says. “It looks fun, but it’s clear to see that only the strong personalities and characters go far”.
Her role models range from her mother to Mother Theresa, Michelle Obama, Beyonce and Princess Diana. “They are or were all powerful women who are passionate about what they do and never give up, and put God first,” she says.
Her proudest achievement is making it into the Big Brother house, because she has always known it would be the biggest step she would make toward reaching her goals and realising her dreams.
Cleo describes herself as “friendly, loud, caring, blatant and loyal”, citing her favourite qualities as her patience, tact, obedience, domestication, humility and respect. She dislikes backstabbers, liars, immaturity and disrespectfulness and promises viewers “a lot of realness, a bit of comedy, a lot of singing and rapping, a lot of ME to the fullest”.
Her favourite foods are pizza and chicken and her favourite TV shows include Generations, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Suburgatory, 90210, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives.
She enjoys listening to Nicki Minaj, Pompeii, Beyonce and Bob Marley and her favourite actor is Michael Ealy because “he’s a good actor and he’s good to look at too!”.
