Published on April 20, 2020, Akothee's unconventional parenting style has sparked a lot of debate. While some people view her as disrespectful, others see her as the type of parent they wish they could be but have no guts to be.

One of the reasons Akothee should be every parent's role model is her openness with her kids. She encourages them to talk about anything and everything, which is a refreshing change from the usual parental silence.

Unlike many parents who dictate what their kids should do, Akothee supports her children's dreams and ambitions. Her first two daughters are already making a name for themselves in their respective fields, with one being a director at Akothee Safaris and the other a model and finalist in the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

Akothee's authenticity is another quality that makes her a great role model. She lives what she preaches and is not afraid to call out her kids or anyone else when she's angry. This has helped to erase the notion that parents have to be perfect.

Her willingness to help those in need is also something that parents and Kenyans can learn from. Akothee has been seen helping the poor and vulnerable in society, showing that being a good parent is not just about taking care of one's own children but also about giving back to the community.

Lastly, Akothee's story is a testament to the fact that one's past does not determine their future. Despite facing numerous challenges, including being a single mother at a young age, Akothee has managed to build a good life for herself and her children.
