Which Zimbabwean YouTubers hosted Miss Trudy?

Trudy was invited by a popular Zimbabwean couple, The Birioti Family, for dinner at their home on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe. While in the couple’s kitchen preparing sadza (ugali) and okara, Trudy asked them how they met, and they shared their beautiful love journey, leaving her amazed. “We met at one of the oldest ghettos in Harare where she was working. I was living in that area. I fell in love with her, we started talking, then I told her to quit her job I would employ her,” the father of one recalled.  The lady said she used to work at a gaming place, but the environment wasn’t good for her as a woman. “The first day I saw her, I bought tickets to play, and I told her; ‘you’re my lucky charm’ and I won the game. After that we exchanged numbers and started talking and one thing led to one another,” he shared.

The couple said they were inspired by Wode Maya, Trudy’s husband, to start creating content. During the chit-chat with The Birioti Family, when asked how she met the award-winning Ghanaian YouTuber, Trudy said: “We met in Ethiopia for the first time five years ago. I was depressed and confused and was praying to god I needed direction, and I saw a DM from a random guy saying he wanted us to meet. I didn’t want us to go, but I decided to risk. It is the best decision I ever made. It changed my life. He was an answered prayer,” she said.  When the food was ready, the mother of lady knelt to wash Trudy’s hands and she was bewildered by the gesture.
