Every day, people go through a lot and at times, they don’t have anyone to turn to. One cannot go to each and every one of them to give them hope. The best way for me to reach out to such people is through music.
Was this what you desired to venture into while growing up?
I have always had a passion for music. I have been singing in a church choir for as long as I can remember. I released my first song in April last year, but I am still dedicating some time and support to the choir.
You must have faced challenges in your music career. What are some of them?
When I did my first song, I wasn’t sure how people would receive it, even though I knew many Kenyans loved gospel music. Balancing family and music was also hard at first.
Speaking of family, how do you juggle it all?
Before I do anything, I plan and make sure that I cover all areas that need my attention at home so that even when I am busy with other things, everything is up and running.
What are your greatest achievements?
God has brought me this far and I consider it a big achievement.
What do you do when you are not doing music?
I take a vacation. I travel alone for meditation or as family when I want to have fun.
What kind of a woman are you?
I am a woman who loves herself, but not the selfish way. I am outgoing and I love travelling, as it broadens my thinking. I also love cooking and singing. I am a mother and a wife and that pretty much describes me. I have been married for 16 years.
How have you made your marriage work this long?
By putting God first. No one can protect a marriage like Him. My husband and I are born-again. Cheating is among the top causes of marriage break ups. With the fear of the Lord, a couple would think twice before cheating. Also, knowing each other well — our likes and dislikes — and maintaining good communication have helped.
What qualities do you admire in your husband?
I have to say that God gave me a gift for a husband. I feel my marriage is new everyday. He is very caring, loving, supportive and more than a husband. I like how sensitive he is to things around him.
Being a mother of three, what do you find enjoyable about motherhood?
I find the whole experience interesting. The love a mother gets from her children is a blessing. There is nothing quite like it and I can never get bored with them around the house.
I must say you look fabulous. What’s the secret?
Whatever an image a woman wants for herself, she should go for it. I used to be very big, but I made up my mind to change and worked towards it.
What are your plans for the next five years?
I am trusting God to take me to higher levels.
