Khanyi is the first African to receive a Netflix Reality Universe Superlatives nomination.
Media personality Khanyi Mbau recently jetted off to Los Angeles for the annual Netflix Reality Universe Superlatives, a global celebration of Netflix’s most popular reality TV stars.
Mbau made history this year, becoming the first African to receive a nomination in the prestigious awards, and it’s her first-ever career nomination.
She is nominated in the Main Character Energy category for her role in the hit Netflix reality series Young, Famous & African.
“So excited to be nominated as the first African for the Netflix Superlative vote for: Main Character Energy…
“What does giving the main character energy mean? Taking a lead role in your own life rather than living as a supporting cast member for others,” she wrote, sharing the exciting news on Instagram earlier this month.
