December 18, 2019, marked a significant milestone in the life of Kenyan singer Akothee, as she shared her inspiring journey from poverty to luxury.
From humble beginnings, Akothee has worked tirelessly to achieve her goals, and her determination has paid off in a big way.
As she recently shared on social media, Akothee's journey to success was not without its challenges. She has been a strong advocate for women's empowerment, encouraging them to be independent and self-sufficient.
“I wanted this home badly that I did gardening before the house was built, #DreamsAreValid, I know what I want so I go for it, I'm that do or die, kind of a woman, since men kicked me out of their homes I learnt how to land on my feet like a cat, I never allow myself to land on my back, I need my spinal cord, enough of men kicking us out of their hoods (Masters of 'Park & Go').” - Akothee “Buy a small land in your village and build yourself a house, there are very few gentlemen left who will do things for a woman, I did it, you can do it too! And when you have a child they call you second-hand none is ready to commit to a woman with children, but they won't say no for extras like sex, women lets be stingy with our flower, lets not be too generous with this flower I beg, niggas ain't loyal with their pockets, Mother Christmas, Wametubeba ojinga siku nyingi sana hawa jamaa,” - Akothee
Today, Akothee is the proud owner of an 80 million shilling home in Rongo, Migori county, which she affectionately refers to as her “retirement home.”
