Content creator and actress Carrol Sonie has stirred widespread conversation online after sharing a bold and ambitious birthday wish list ahead of her special day.As she prepared to celebrate her birthday on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, Sonie took to her social media stories to unveil an eight-point list of high-value wishes. The list blends major investments, luxury items and deeply personal life goals, reflecting a growing trend among Kenyan public figures who are increasingly transparent about their aspirations, milestones and lifestyle ambitions.

Titled “MY BIRTHDAY WISH LIST ???? – 6th January,” the list struck a chord with fans for its mix of material success and personal growth. Among the most talked-about wishes is her desire for a second child — a revelation that has particularly drawn attention given her well-documented co-parenting journey in the public eye.

Her wishlist includes land, signalling a focus on long-term real estate investment; an iPhone 17; a Mazda CX-8; a money bouquet, which has become a popular gifting trend in Nairobi; an international holiday; baby number two; more money to enhance financial stability; and professional production equipment to support her creative project, The CS Show.

Carrol Sonie rose to national prominence during her former relationship with comedian Mulamwah. The two share a daughter, Keilah Oyando, who was born in September 2021. Their breakup shortly after her birth attracted significant public attention, with co-parenting disputes and paternity claims playing out openly across traditional and social media platforms.

Since then, Sonie has focused on rebuilding her personal brand and expanding her creative footprint, particularly through The CS Show, for which she is now seeking enhanced production equipment. Her wish for a second child has also sparked curiosity among followers, especially as she has kept her current dating life largely private compared to her highly publicised past relationship.

The rise of celebrity birthday wishlists has become a defining feature of Kenyan pop culture in recent years. Influencers and media personalities increasingly use such lists to engage fans, spark conversation and subtly signal expectations to brands, supporters or admirers.

The trend gained significant momentum in 2025 after radio presenter Claudia Naisabwa shared a wishlist that went viral. It was soon adopted by other well-known figures including Awinja, Mwende Macharia, Abel Mutua and Eddie Butita, among others.

Many of the most discussed wishlists feature a mix of luxury items, premium vehicles and family-centred aspirations — a combination of ambition, humour and personal storytelling that continues to resonate strongly with Kenyan audiences.

With her candid and ambitious birthday list, Carrol Sonie has once again positioned herself at the centre of online conversation, reinforcing her relevance as both a content creator and a public figure navigating personal growth in the public eye.
