Besides from being on the show, the wife and mother is a structural engineer and a revered actress. “I tell my own story and I’m very authentic about it. I grew up in Huruma and I have made it here. I want to tell every girl out there that you can make it,” Utters Minne. Speaking of, the Single Kiasi actress was engrossed in a dinner table tiff of words in episode 1 of the show. Asked to list three nice things about the Marini Naturals entrepreneur, Minne nonchalantly responds, “Who’s that?”
