Prisca Lyimo is a Tanzanian actress, commercial model, and digital influencer who has rapidly transitioned from beauty pageants to becoming a leading face in the "Bongo Movie" new wave. A graduate of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) with a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Statistics, she first gained public attention as a Top 20 contestant in Miss Tanzania 2020. In 2025 and 2026, Lyimo established herself as a serious dramatic actress. She stars in the hit Hun+ original series "Twisted" (premiered late 2024), where her performance has been praised for its intensity, marking her breakout into mainstream streaming success. She also appeared in the second season of the popular series "The Junction" (Episode 6), further solidifying her versatility. Beyond acting, she is a dominant force in Tanzanian digital media. In October 2025, she was recognized as the "Best Young Influencer 2025" in an exclusive feature by Mjini FM. She famously navigated a viral media storm regarding rumors of a relationship with Patrick Kanumba, clarifying in a widely circulated interview that their connection was strictly professional and born through TikTok collaborations.
