FIRST MINI-GIG

“My future looked so bleak. All I was doing was literally fighting for my next breath. I made it out alive. God saw me through it all. As I do my first mini-gig in Nairobi, more like a test drive for my lungs as one of my fans said, it’s overwhelming and heartwrenching from all the support I’ve received,” she posted on her Facebook account.

“I’ve already been booked for many gigs all through March both local and international. It’s all too much for me to take in. I’m grateful and thankful to each of you. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I grew up on this lamp. Taa ya mafuta ya taa alafu ikiisha mafuta mnaweka ya stove hapo???There’s hope fam. It doesn’t matter what you’re going through, keep hope alive. God is real, He is in control. Let the gigs, conferences, Endo Awareness, interviews, tours begin. Jahmby conqueror is ready. Kenyan reggae queen is back,” she added.
