Media Stars Celebrate Mother's Day with Heartfelt Messages ¶
As Kenyans and the world at large celebrated Mother's Day on May 9, 2021, media personalities took to social media to express their gratitude and love to their mothers.
Jeff Koinange, a renowned Citizen TV news anchor, thanked his mother, Nyina-wa-Munene, and his sisters for making him laugh and loving him endlessly. He captioned his post, 'Happy Mother's Day to my Mum, Nyina-wa-Munene and to my Sisters, Ciru and Wangui...Thanks for the Laughs, the Love and the Good Times.'
Stephen Letoo, another Citizen TV reporter, paid tribute to his two mothers, Jeniffer and Jane, for guiding him into becoming a better man. He shared a heartfelt message, 'Close to three decades now, these two women held my hand, when one guided me to be a better man another taught me what life entails when one slapped me for doing wrong, the other wiped my tears and told me don't do it again - when one milked my dad's cows, the other was frying goat ribs for us.'
Former K24 TV anchor Rose Gakuo hailed her mother as a resounding voice of reason and a teacher who guided her. She wrote, 'Mamii, guardian angel, teacher, discipline master, most resounding voice of reason, my calm in storms and with you forever favourite girl talk, Happy Mothers Day. May this day and to all mothers bring you joy through your children and beyond.'
Other media stars like Betty Kyalo and NTV's Grace Msalame also shared their gratitude to their children, expressing how they brought immense happiness to their lives.
