When it comes to having faced a tough life, Caroline Marcha did have a very tough life. Getting to where she is now as a media personality was rather tough because she had a very harsh beginning in the field of media. Caroline Marcah said she will live to tell how she started her media journey, working at some point for a whole year for a television station with no pay.
Marcah openly narrated that she joined the Nsambya-based Life TV in her Senior 6 vacation, after running from home. According to Marcha, She had fallen out with her father, who threatened not to pay for her university tuition so she started renting a Shs 150,000 room around Ntinda. This is when she landed the TV job as a side gig. She was also doing poetry and plays at the National Theatre at that time.
But for the whole year at the TV station, Marcah stated that she never got paid a salary. Instead, she said she and her colleagues received prayers from the TV owner known as Pastor Tom Sembera at every end of the month. Marcha mentioned that on top of monthly prayers, Pastor Tom would thank the entire team for doing God’s work.
“The pastor would pray for us at the end of the month to get blessings. He’d then thank us for doing God’s work,” Marcah said
When asked why she managed to stay long even when she was not being paid, Marcah said that having been raised in a catholic family, she had strong faith that things would get better with time, which never happened unfortunately.
“I grew up in a Catholic family where I believed that somewhere somehow things were going to work out. So I kept believing,” she recounted.
