The DIGITALLY FIT AWARDS is a celebrated initiative recognizing East Africa’s trailblazers in digital transformation, innovation, and impactful storytelling. Now in its 8th edition, the 2024 DIGITALLY FIT AWARDS East Africa focuses on bridging the digital divide and empowering businesses and individuals to thrive in an increasingly connected world. This year’s edition emphasizes inclusivity, celebrating unsung heroes alongside industry giants, and fostering growth in the region's digital ecosystem. Among the nominees is Maureen Lugano, a dynamic commercial voice actor and radio host whose inspiring journey in broadcasting and voice artistry has earned her a spot among East Africa’s digital stars.

A Journey Fueled by Passion

Maureen Lugano’s career began with an unwavering passion for voice artistry. Her childhood fascination with TV commercials and taglines laid the foundation for her path, which she pursued with determination during her time at journalism school. Her first voice-over project was for the "Mr. and Miss Zetech" student pageant, marking the start of a lifelong journey.

Over the years, Maureen has collaborated with esteemed organizations such as Safaricom Sacco, TATA Motors, KELIN, and Roots Radio Nairobi, among others. She has honed her skills through voice tests at Capital FM and 1FM, as well as a screen test with Citizen TV. Her work at Roots Radio Nairobi, where she hosted the widely celebrated reggae show Conscious Livity, solidified her reputation as a captivating radio personality.

A Voice for the Community

Maureen’s impact goes beyond her on-air presence. With her ability to communicate in multiple languages, she engages diverse audiences and fosters meaningful connections. Her work often highlights community issues and supports homegrown talent, making her an advocate for positive change. She has been a voice for several ad campaigns within Kenya's vibrant reggae fraternity, bringing awareness and uplifting voices in the music industry.

Her CEO at Roots Radio Nairobi, Stitchy Stevens, aptly describes her as a vibrant force in the online space who has transformed lives through her deep, conscious music and relatable talk shows. Maureen’s love for radio, coupled with her community involvement, showcases her commitment to using her talent to educate, entertain, and empower. She goes beyond radio waves to inspire her community, like in this animation video by GNPI (Good news International) where she voiced the character "Mama Mboga"

Aspiring for Greater Heights

Inspired by industry legends like Redd Pepper, Maureen envisions a future where her voice inspires and empowers even more people. She dreams of founding her own media and advertising agency to spread positive messages and support budding talent. Her dedication to continuous learning and her craft underscores her potential to leave an indelible mark on East Africa’s digital and broadcasting industries.

Why Maureen Lugano Stands Out

Maureen’s nomination for the DIGITALLY FIT AWARDS 2024 East Africa Edition reflects the spirit of the awards: inclusivity, empowerment, and the celebration of transformative talent. Her journey represents the resilience, creativity, and innovation that the awards aim to spotlight. From her early days as a voice artist to her rise as a beloved radio host, Maureen embodies the power of digital platforms to transform lives and bridge gaps within communities.
