Durban-born powerhouse Brooklyn Masuku proves that no dream is out of reach. From winning Hustler of the Year to becoming a multi-nominated blogger and now taking on the role of Commercial Digital Officer at Gagasi FM, Brooklyn is a dynamic force in the media landscape. Whether crafting cutting-edge content, managing public relations, or collaborating with South Africa’s top brands, he’s always ahead of the curve—rubbing shoulders with A-listers and redefining what success looks like.
Yet, Brooklyn’s story goes beyond the glamour of media and entertainment. A dedicated humanitarian, he actively supports children in his Umlazi community, embodying both ambition and heart.
For this week’s edition of ‘My Favourite Things,’ we explore 10 things that Brooklyn absolutely loves. From self-care rituals to therapeutic playlists, multi-hyphenate talent reveals how he stays grounded while mastering the art of balance in a fast-paced world.
Listening to Music
I truly believe music is a breath of fresh air. A good playlist sets the tone for my day, and there’s never a dull moment when I turn up the volume and vibe to my favorite artists. Music has been a companion through so many experiences in my life, helping me navigate both the highs and lows.
Reality Television
If getting paid to watch reality TV was a thing, I’d be a millionaire by now. I can binge reality shows endlessly—local gems and international favorites alike. Nene Leakes is the reason I became a reality TV enthusiast. I love the drama, the chaos, and the unapologetic entertainment these franchises serve.
Chicken Livers
“Anything chicken livers,” and I’m the happiest person alive. With my busy schedule, they’ve become my go-to meal since I rarely get the time for home-cooked food. Whether I’m in a rush or on the road, you can bet I’m hunting down some livers, chile!
Skincare
Anyone who knows me understands my obsession with skincare. I spend a fortune on my routine, and I’m not complaining. I believe investing in good skin is essential. Cleansers, scrubs, and masks have been some of the best investments I’ve ever made.
Blogging
There’s nothing I love more than blogging. Writing about entertainment, music, media, and lifestyle has been such a fulfilling journey. The results have been rewarding, and I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. One of the biggest highlights was being internationally nominated for Blogger of the Year.
Magazines
I’m an avid magazine reader—that’s just who I am. My apartment is packed with magazines, and I always travel with at least one. Since childhood, I’ve loved flipping through pages, and they continue to inspire me in so many ways.
My Mother
A soldier and a warrior, my mother is the pillar of my strength and the light of my life. I’m forever grateful for her endless support and all she’s done for me. Every moment with her is filled with joy. She’s a hard worker, a true queen, and absolutely the moment.
Savanna Cider
If you know me, you know I’m a Savanna queen. I can sip on as many as I want and still hold my own. After trying various ciders and champagne over the years, I’ve realized Savanna is my vibe. Right now, I’m fully in my Savanna era.
Festivals
I’m a festival-goer through and through. There’s nothing like the energy of an outdoor event. If there’s a live performance involved, count me in! Watching my favorite artists perform is unmatched. Festivals have become a vibe I never want to stop chasing.
Vacations
Even though I’m always about my business, vacations are non-negotiable. I’m a sucker for long-distance travel, especially to places with breathtaking ocean views. One day, I’ll have that dream apartment overlooking the sea. I can already picture it.
