June 18, 2020, marked a day when Saumu Mbuvi, the 24-year-old daughter of Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, stood up for herself against a spiteful woman who had created a fake account to attack her.

According to Saumu, the woman's actions were a drop in the ocean, and she had developed thick skin over the years to withstand such thoughtless and heartless words.

"Some woman just created a private account to write nonsense and abuse me. You have a long way to go because my skin is too thick," Saumu said in response to the woman's actions.

She termed the lady as a jealous wannabe whose heart was filled with bile.

As a mother of two, Saumu has always been grateful for how her partner, Anwar Loitiptip, has been supportive and loving. They have recently confirmed their wedding date and are excited to make their relationship official.

Saumu's message to women is clear: instead of attacking and criticizing each other, they should uplift and support one another.
