During her tour of the media, she disclosed to local Media her plans for the year 2019. Top on her agenda is the imposition of her art and talent on the African continent. To her, unlike the rest of the world, Africa is still imbued with untapped potentials that she aims at exploiting. She added that her plans to take over Africa begins on Saturday February 23 when she will be hosting the Club Quilox, the biggest club at the heart of Lagos, Nigeria. According to her, conquering the Nigerian entertainment industry is primordial owing to the fact that it is today the turning point of African showbiz.

In an interview with CRTV's Primetime show ‘Cameroon Feeling', she revealed that the most challenging part of her career lies in the fact that it is considered as a ‘man's world'. Worst of all, most female bosses and business partners often see more of her female figure to business, a major setback in her growth. The media tour tagged ‘Charlene Comes Home' took the Energy Goddess (referred to by fans) to Cameroon's top-notch media houses of the likes of Canal2 international which shot a mini documentary on her career, Vision4, Canal2 English, Sweet FM, Radio Campus, HiTV and a host of others. The reaction from her hosts, fans, and entertainment stakeholders was unanimous; to have her back. Apart from touring media outlets in Cameroon,MC Charlene also hosted the Red carpet event of the second edition of the Bonteh Digital Media Awards (BDMA) in Douala. She is also nominated as MC of the year at the 2019  Scandinavia Afrobeats Music Awards
