Zari Hassan recently shared that she once worked as a maid in the UK during a challenging period of her life. Leaving Uganda with hopes for a better future, she found herself working various jobs to make ends meet.
In an interview on her son's YouTube channel, Zari disclosed to Raphael Tlale that she took up housekeeping jobs to pay her bills.
"I've actually been a maid at some point. I did laundry and cleaned houses in the UK. It was all part of my effort to achieve a better life," she said.
Zari also mentioned working late-night shifts packing sandwiches and groceries at a supermarket. "I've been working since I was 17. People often think 'she's just living this life,' but I've truly earned it," she added.
Reflecting on what she learned from her experiences, Zari stated, "Working as a maid and handling household chores has given me immense respect for house assistants. I don't take them for granted because I’ve been in their shoes."
She also recalled a time when she faced a significant phone bill from international calls to her mother in Uganda.
"I was shocked to learn I wouldn’t be paid due to the high telephone bill. I didn’t have money, relying solely on my weekly wages."
Zari realized she wanted more than just working to cover basic expenses. "I didn’t want to just work for rent and transport. I aspired for better," she concluded.
