'It is not up for discussion!' Caroline Mutoko explains why her personal life is off social media

Caroline Mutoko is one lady who is not afraid of speaking her mind.

Caroline posted her weekly vlogs after so many people trolled This Is Ess about not being shown photos of her daughter. She was in support of This Is Ess keeping her is life private, saying that life especially that which concerns her home and hearth is private

FOR SOME PEOPLE, IT’S A NON-NEGOTIABLE (SHARING THEIR PERSONAL LIFE ON SOCIAL MEDIA), I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. IT IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND FOR ME IF YOU ASK ANYONE WHO WORKS IN MEDIA LIKE CAROLINE MANDI OF TRUE LOVE, SHE WILL TELL YOU THAT I AM VERY CLEAR, MY HOME IS OFF LIMITS. MY HOME IS NOT AVAILABLE AND MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HAVE THE SORT OF LIVES AND JOBS THAT CAN’T AFFORD NONSENSE AND ACTUALLY SOMETIMES WE BOTH NEED PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY TO EACH OTHER.

Mutoko said that her experiences with social media have made her cautious about what she shares.

SO I DON’T SHARE THAT. I FEEL THAT SHARING THAT LEAVES ME VERY LITTLE IN TERMS OF PLACES I COULD RETREAT TO A COCOON OR CAVE OF LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING AND JUST US-NESS THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REST OF YOU. SO YES THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY NO AND I AM ONE OF THEM. AND EVEN WHEN I HAVE SAID YES BEFORE, I HAVE WATCHED THE MONSTER THAT CAN BE SOCIAL MEDIA AND I HAVE TO CHOOSE VERY CAREFULLY WHAT CAN BE PUT OUT THERE, HOW MUCH AND IN WHAT MANNER.
