It sounds like Melissa was making too many excuses for her husband. If those were her own children in the pictures and videos would she have been so lax in getting the police involved? She keeps saying its not my place to say this...its not my place to do that blah blah blah. But she kept having interactions with him and not calling the police instead she was telling him to go for therapy!! God alone knows who s child or children that monster must have harmed in his life time- but I know if I saw something like that on my husband s computer I would be calling the police pronto! Some women turn a blind eye to child molestation/ port and instead think the man can be redeemed or worse still if I don t say anything it will go away. For someone as eloquent and articulate as Melissa who describes herself with a certain amount of arrogance as a sapiosexual, I find her attitude and behaviour in this case sadly lacking!!

It’s funny how I love this woman yet I have never met her. V positive energy, Godly vibe etc… You are strong woman and guess what the world belongs to you.

[@startingoverbygrace]

Wow! This is deep. To know that she would have lost her child to her abusive ex-husband is beyond me. This story really makes you think twice in so many ways. It's not just covering the basis of differences in culture, religion, and finances, it goes much deeper than the initial new romance phase, which turned into an engagement, and then marriage. Even if for one second you think you'd end up with a perfect fairytale love story and things take a turn, now you're faced with what laws of that land/country stand against you or what is for you. Regardless if the relationship was pursued long-term or short-term, I can tell you firsthand, that narcissistic people have a physiological way of luring you in without you realizing it until you're in the thick of things. She not only faced discrimination from the police by the color of her skin to warrant the fact that her then-husband battered her first, but they favored protecting him instead in spite of it. I could not fathom this and I know many of you would agree if you were faced with the same. Her story is literally saving lives. Learn from other's experiences and take note of her testimony. I can relate to this because I was a victim of domestic abuse. And the same instinct she experienced of that first reaction of someone putting hands on you, and fearing for your life in that exact moment, is exactly what I went through. Please do not stay in it the first time it happens. Get out immediately, and find help to protect yourself by all means necessary. Otherwise, you will fall victim to a repeated cycle of being battered and you will find yourself stuck in becoming submissive to the abuser. Peace and love to you all.

"You can rise up, You can start all over again..." powerful statement of fact Lynn. May I appeal to all your fans, Lynn, especially ladies, to take this simple line seriously. Ladies, downfalls do not amount to failure but a learning experience. No one should define a journey to your destiny but you alone. Melissa, looking at your previous photos, and now, just like Lynn has affirmed you already, I also validate that. Guys, once you have become of age and can be in a position to make informed decisions for your life, go it, and as you navigate your life journey, be intentional in making conscious decisions. Life is never smooth sail. Having said that, be ready to experience both highs and lows. God has accorded you skills and capacity to surmount each hurdle you meet. However, how to apply them remains your prerogative. Lynn's shows are about experiences of others that are meant to help you and me learn how to avoid the mistakes they made. It's not mere stories to laugh and wait for the next episode. I leave you this simple guideline, be you, be real, and at all times practice self-care. Peace of mind is the best tip for healthy living. Melissa has spit snippets of wisdom that can make any serious woman think twice before engaging. Listen, process, and decide...."What does a 22-year-old know? " Melissa has cautioned you here. It's all about you and your life, ladies.

The most powerful thing that this young lady said is to call out or put to shame when you hear or see something is wrong weather its your blood family or not . When you say nothing you are part of the problem .don't be part of the problem but part of the solution.

[@mosy2049]

Melissa you are so beautiful and eloquent. I could listen to you the whole day. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@harrietnjuguna9917]

Melissa is such a vibe! A strong woman full of wisdom. That's quite an experience to go through. Thanks for sharing your story that's really an eye-opener to us. Lots of lessons to learn

[@bellaolum9768]

I love everything about Melissa's story. It is so deep and very inspiring. She is truly a product of God's grace! And boy can she tell a story 😅😅😅😅

[@bangibabs]

Melissa is one strong woman and knows how to draw you in when sharing her story. Thank you for sharing this with us and for raising awareness. May God bless you ladies ❤

[@hildahmutugi5429]

Looking at Melissa is like experiencing my soul sister. Very refreshing...and quite eloquent I Must say.

[@JoyceEbis]

Very clear and sobering interview right there. Mellisa is a great woman indeed. She doesn't look like what she's been through. I love the fact that she handled this interview with a lot of grace, honesty and good conscience. There was so much balance in the way she told her story and that tells me she's a great woman. She can be trusted. She didn't fall into the trap of anger, bitterness and resentment in spite of all she has been through. May God grant all her heart's desires in this journey and make her a billboard of His glory. Amen! To Lynn, you're doing a fantastic job dear. You allowed your guest to tell her story without unnecessary interjections and side journeys. Thank you for interpreting all the Kikuyu sections of Mel's interview. Keep up the good work!

[@esthertheuri7847]

I listened to a podcast and a lady Austrian had similar shocking story.Her husband was the type that couldn’t hurt a fly.one day her husband sent her to his laptop to retrieve a document and behind the document were other unnamed documents,and she opened one and photos of children naked started rolling.Yes,she called the police and the husband was arrested.

[@nambassakajubi1355]

Mellisa, you are my mom of the year... I wish all mothers/parents protected their children like you did. Indeed God does not make a mistake, you surely saved very many children out there. God bless you and may He heal your children too.

[@elizabethwamwendia7602]

This guest is not only super intelligent but pretty, stylish and more!!

[@shjakes]

God bless this lady for not losing her composure, sanity and humanity in such a crisis situation AND for having that primal instinct to protect her children from what she had yet to understand. I've found myself vibrating with rage for far less. I am happy that her children are not shattered by that episode of their lives. Thank you for this episode Lynn.

[@edwinacriear2630]

Absolutely beautiful interview! We all have made our missteps with love but the thing is is to forgive, forgive ourselves, grow from it, share with others so we can grow together. Thank you both so much for a dynamic interview.

[@annakamau7153]

This interview is powerful, enlightening, validating, empowering, inspiring, uplifting due to it's honesty, delivery and timing! Thank you Shiro and Lynn for the masterpiece!

[@graceaglow230]

I experienced a very similar story involving pedophilia--the perpetrator and his own minor child. He is now serving a life sentence without parole. Thank God for strong and brave women, who stand up to protect their children and other children. Melissa, you did well. I am sure you will inspire many with your beautifully narrated story. Please find it in your soul to pray for your ex-husband. This perversion is a trap of the devil to destroy lives and so many have been caught in this mess. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he will do it however he can.

[@bettywamae2000]

The ex husband is not willing to change🤷🏽‍♀️

[@chancepeace2064]

Wow, what a story and what a strong woman !! I feel that the way her ex-mother in-law pushed for engagement very quickly, she knew about her son's issue. I think she thought that a marriage will cover up his addiction!

[@graciouslyloved10]

Yeah...women protecting monsters....

[@janekinyanjui484]

Well said 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

[@silaton305]

Wow!! Makes a lot of sense

[@Flourish_today]

​@graciouslyloved10 Mothers protecting there son's is shat it sounds like.

[@MburawaUK]

Nowadays wamama wazungu are looking for wives for their useless sons and they mostly target Africans. Be aware.

[@mercyanyangoonyango]

I wish one day i will heal of my childhood traumas i went through just because my mom always defended my toxic and nasist step father 😢,I LOVE THIS LADY FOR STANDING BY HER KIDS ❤❤

[@angelinemuriuki7384]

Sending you love & prayers. May healing be your portion 🙏

[@sylviahkinyangi9892]

So sorry,me too never had s good childhood from my step dad

[@ever4813]

Sending you love and healing ❤

[@tedwoll]

Thank you Melissa for this, as someone who is in an interracial marriage and planning to relocate I have picked alot from this especially about your own network. Thank you and you are such a beautiful soul. More blessings and favor upon you

[@virginiangugi1391]

Mellisa reminds me of Ciru Muriuki and Miss Kihoro - the way she speaks, the story teller in her and her humor. Radiates so much joy. Sorry for the life experience.

[@imanayanda]

She was 22 and he knew that she wished for better for her life. Used the fact that he is Danish and desirable the whole package would look like to a young African woman looking for a better life and opportunities. And unfortunately this is how so many of our women become vulnerable to such people.

[@miriamvicky2528]

Thanks Melissa, God never makes mistakes, he used you to save innocent children out there and when your time was done, he ended the relationship. People see evil and conceal it, protecting the evil doer at the expense of someone innocent

[@SallyPeace-ut7vk]

The highest level of boldness and bravely especially in a foreign country

[@nyashapchirume4326]

So so true

[@roseheron4537]

I Listened in awe to her story. I've been through a lot myself and is healing, thanks to my network of family and friends. All the best to you and your children Melissa. Loving your shows Lynn. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲.

[@JNAllenstv]

As a Jamaican, I was married to a White man and I too was mentally abused & otherwise. I think my ex-husband is into children too, but I don’t have sufficient proof because every time I got suspicious or seen him watching questionable pornography & I confronted him he rebel by saying that I should let God judge him.

[@corajones5046]

This is such a rediculous response. “Let God judge him,” are you crazy. In the meantime this low life is hurting & destroying children. And, unless you report this snake to the police, you become an accessory to this horrible crime. Don’t be such a fool!!!!!

[@Shineynsparkles]

@@JNAllenstvhow did you get such a creep

[@sweetangelsluv]

​@@JNAllenstv my friend also had the same story as you with her 🖤. She went through years of confusion, manipulation and just ab*se. Hopefully ALL pedos have their time where the sun doesn't shine

[@AGNESADOYO-d6z]

My take today, put God in your corner. Be very intentional about it and God will be your 4th person in that furnace of fire. And you will come out without even a scratch. Thank you so much.

[@MercieWangai]

Being Kiuk and so eloquent with zero accent stirs me😊..love you girl ❤. Keep strong!

[@wanialalilian7496]

One day Lyne , i will tell my story. I am not as kind as she is she has told this whole story without making any of the people who hurt her look bad . i enjoyed this.

[@sharonjumba4648]

The beauty of healing.

[@rahabgathogo1842]

Powerful story Melissa. I love the way you acknowledge God all through, and following your gut feeling. My lessons tonight.

[@annerita6817]

Am happy to see my high schoolmate Melissa here after so many years. This girl is a go-getter and a product pf God's Grace

[@Izo3102]

Which high school?

[@leboleemenoe9934]

Facts!!!!!

[@olamao786]

Thanks I’ve gotten her KZbin channel. She’s very inspiring for people that might be going through some sort of trauma in the abroad. Like she mentioned we got married to white men without really knowing much about their background and why they’re attracted to us. I thank God my story was different also I already schooled abroad before meeting my late husband in Africa. All the same I still had my own dose after getting married . My experience helped me sharpen myself quicker also the counselling I received also helped. His family too was very supportive and that was a great reliefs. He had alcohol issues but God gave me the strength to look after him and our child until his last breath. The outcome now that he is passed. I don’t even want any man to come near me. As far as I’m concerned I taken my own dose of something called marriage.

[@nanoa32]

@olamao786 Your comment is the best comment on this panel. I see the obsession and praise of ⚪️ men in Black Caribbean and African community, as well as Asia and Latina communities.

[@FlorenceKinyanjui-m3c]

Thank Mellisa for the story it's an eye opener many of us are going through toxic relationship and narcissiism.

[@kirabogloria2187]

They come here to Africa to marry us using us as pets thinking we are soo grateful for marrying us...not knowing that we are strong ...healthy..wise ..still listening

[@silaton305]

Spot on.

They are nothing many come for our minerals etc in the name of love

[@mileshouseholds6759]

Melissa, I remember that smile back in school. Melissa I think your humor is what had kept you strong. I remember we are being punished back in school and Melissa is laughing her heart out. Girl sorry for what you went through. Am Lenity hope you remember me. Stay strong.

[@paulinekamau4071]

Mellisa I truly applaud you for your bravery girl this is on of the issues that are NEVER spoken about & they are happening right before our eyes especially in Africa we have normalized grown men admitting young little girls & no one says anything. Thanks for calling out that idiot at the market. Lyn this conversation is so needed & I think your platform is the most appropriate because we can’t ignore this issue anymore.. Mellisa you are very articulate & an admire that , what a great resource you are, all the best my dear in what you do to help other people who are going through what you have been through… Lyn I know you have really grown in the industry that you haven’t cried the way you used to. My husband is not Kenyan but he LOVES you & before he knew your name he used to say “ Honey let’s watch the lady that cries in her show more than the guest “ Lyn we love you, more power & keep doing the great work..

[@paulinekamau4071]

I meant admiring

[@mahalia5594]

Thank you Mel for choosing to take care of yourself first, and thus protecting your children, instead of trying to maintain an image of being married as some women do. New subscriber today by the way.

[@faithjonathan3845]

Not opening bills, no food in the house. Just 2 things that have reminded me of my ex danish man. 6 years of living with him has made me afraid of loving again

[@shirleyodongo6439]

I love Mellisa's energy and personality. Such a phenomenal woman. More grace mama.

[@peterkariuki3696]

She has a beautiful and mellow voice for tv. Reminded me of Sophie Ikenye when she was saying bye😊

[@fedelisnjenga2285]

I have enjoyed listening to Mellisa, your smile and braveness is amazing. You have narrated the experience from a healed side. Keep fighting girl

[@oya-hazelgumede711]

I just discovered LNN yesterday, thanks to the algorithm! Love love love the show, and am now totally in love with my Kenyan sisters in general (I have binge watched a few shows since then). God bless you my dear sisters, and much love all the way from South Africa!
