Kenyan-born, US-based comedienne Elsa Majimbo has recently revealed some fascinating details about her surprisingly minimalist lifestyle, highlighting how she manages without digital TV or Wi-Fi at home.
In a candid video, Majimbo shared that she watches over 200 movies on an old-school, vintage television. Despite its age, the TV functions perfectly, and she expressed that this simple setup suits her perfectly—after all, she’s the only one involved. When fans asked how she manages to stay active on social media without Wi-Fi, she cheekily suggested that anyone confused by her approach might be “brainwashed.” Instead of relying on Wi-Fi, she enhances her home with an Amazon Echo, a voice-controlled smart speaker, blending old-school and new tech in a unique way.
This revelation surprised many, especially in Kenya where internet access mainly depends on cellular networks and Wi-Fi. Her ability to maintain an online presence while living without traditional internet connectivity sparked curiosity and admiration.
Elsa’s journey to the United States is equally intriguing. She began her adult life in Johannesburg, South Africa, and at 19, a seemingly casual trip with friends led to a life-changing move. While visiting Cape Town and later spending the summer in Ghana, her career took an unexpected turn when she was invited to New York. Soon after arriving, she faced a health setback but also walked the prestigious Met Gala, marking an incredible milestone and her official entry into the US entertainment scene.
Despite her rising fame and globe-trotting lifestyle, Elsa openly talks about the joy of independence she found after moving out of her parents’ home. Although she remains very close to her family, whom she describes as “literally my best friends,” she enjoys the freedom of living alone and setting her own rules. She treasures the ability to welcome friends over at any hour without needing to explain herself, a stark contrast to the more structured environment she grew up in.
Growing up, her parents enforced a strict routine, where going out one day meant staying in the next. Elsa appreciates escaping those restrictions and having the freedom to make her own choices. She isn’t a wild child by any means, but the simple fact that she controls her schedule and decisions feels like a dream come true.
Her story highlights a refreshing blend of old and new, simplicity and glamour, discipline and freedom. By choosing to live without Wi-Fi and digital TV, Elsa Majimbo crafts a lifestyle that works uniquely for her—grounded in independence, self-expression, and a bit of playful defiance against expectations.
