"In Uganda, the girl that I admire most is Sheilah Gashumba," said Winnie,<a href="https://www.pulse.ug/entertainment/celebrities/winnie-wa-mummy-mudra-song/tzvz6pf"> who recently released a song with Mudra Viral.</a>

"When she followed me back I was really overwhelmed. I told her, I look up to you. She is a planned girl but she's hard-working."

<a href="https://www.pulse.ug/entertainment/celebrities/ava-peace-says-mudra-cant-date-winnie-wa-mummy/l3w2ffb">The bubbly TikTok star</a> catapulted into the limelight because of her sensual dance moves.

On TikTok alone, she counts over a million followers and the hashtag of her name has been used more times than those of most renowned local singers.

Like Sheilah Gashumba, she gained fame at a very young age, though for the former, she was just eight years old when she began working on <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/entertainment/celebrities/sheilah-gashumba-why-i-left-mt-st-marys-college-namagunga/d27fpr0">the biggest television station at the time.</a>

Many young girls <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/entertainment/celebrities/sheilah-gashumba-says-she-spends-shs58-million-on-rent/c7gkzq7">look up to Gashumba because she lives most of their dreams</a>: a luxurious life, fame, and cool toys.

She went to Little Angels Nursery School and Taibah International School (P.2 - P.6).

It was at Taibah that she met a teacher who pushed her to get involved in emceeing, giving speeches, etc., and other activities that would nurture he media career.

Her father wanted her to ace P.7 and decided it was best to complete her P.7 from City Parents’ School.

She landed her first TV at WBS when she was eight years old.

After a while, she took a break because her father wasn't sure if she should stay in the TV business.
