Chido relocated to Harare from Kwekwe in 2010 and it was not easy getting into the acting industry because she didn't know anyone in the field or any film organisation. She got her first role in a play when she featured in Silvanos Mudzvova's Kumasowe.

This opened doors of opportunities for after she landed her maiden NAMA award for her role in the feature film which was written and directed by Beauty Nakai Tsuro. She was confident that the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) Outstanding Film Actress gong she won in February 2016 was going to inspire youngsters in her home town of Kwekwe to take up acting as a career.^[1]
