[@chibandamwende3676]

Am happy we are starting this talks ,Nobody dares to touch the complexity of Mother Daughter relationships which is just absurd ,thank you for scratching the surface for us❤️

[@waihiga124]

Parenting is HAAAAAAARD. Parenting and loving your children from a place of deep seated fears can complicate things even more. I am learning to parent from a place of faith.

As a cushite in her 30s people make me feel ancient for not being married. Comments like, “olewa tu ata kama ukiwachwa at least ume cross hiyo stage,” mum says. Dad on the other hand has stopped hinting (the same guy who caught you dead with a boy) now he’s more direct, “uki pata mtu yeyote kujeni haraka hiyo nikha ita fanywa hata usiku.” And the usual quips from aunties, “hiyo masomo yako mingi bado uta rudi jikoni.” I love women like you, it’s time African parents let us figure out life in our own timeline. Thanks for this ❤️

[@carolm4691]

This is funny in a way... Kwanza your dad's statement

[@yourstrulyKe]

Big up to you Farida!! 🙌 You got this🤗😊

[@joskyshams4758]

You're wise

[@faridamohamed2542]

Carol M 🤣🤣🤣 ikr!

[@connie7192]

Farida, keep soldering. Do not conform to societal pressure. Love and strength to you.

[@theafrinado]

African parents hahaha! Kalekye's voice, poise, stage presence is amazing.

[@faithwanjiru7393]

Wow, this whole thing explains the effects of the parenting style we choose.

[@rmboch]

Kalekye's voice always engaging since her first days on airwaves. Keep on going, always inspiring 🌻😎👍🏽

[@marypeter9916]

Everywhere Kalekye is,am always here...I love her voice and her boldness 💞.

[@sylviachepkoech2284]

This is a very beautiful story Kalekye!

[@wanjikukarue9179]

What? For 3 years she kept her period a secret. I am so heartbroken for her! Oh wow!

[@anne-mariekosh5010]

Beautiful, eloquent candid. Mothers have natural love for their kids but they can also make one's life super complicated.

[@JosephineJumokeFlourishHH]

#ConversationWithKalekye...🎉 I'm a Nigerian, 🇳🇬🌎, but she is a goid Presenter who knows her onions...

[@rahabmbiyu254]

I still hug mine with one eye open! We talk but in her eyes I still don't have a worthy career compared to the rest of my sibling's. I mean what is digital or data science or AI or IOT or social media - mothers and daughters what a stifling and contradicting relationship nonetheless thanks for sharing Kalekye.

[@ratemoobare]

Rahab Mbiyu if you’re good enough in AI please hit me up. Thanks

[@fidelisasunta3974]

You have my dream job...and you are a girl ..keep soldiering on ..nitakupata huko mbele

[@lornathesewist]

Beautiful turnaround story Its like you and your mum were meant to be girlfriends not mother and daughter. Some relationships just make more sense later. Love it 🥰🥰🥰

[@minkrasi3318]

[@wangarimuchui1606]

Wow wow wow.... an amazing turnaround. Thanks so much Kaleyke for sharing.

[@kaninikioko1635]

This here is why I really admire you dear. You are bold and fearless in living your truth. It's not easy but nonetheless you do it. Hongera kelitu. Athimwa muno na muno. Na mami athimwe muno na muno. As well as mbaa Mumo onthe. I didn't realise how much we have in common. I guess looking in from the outside, we never really see the trauma of one child, of never feeling enough, especially if they are not suffering the obvious pains of abuse as we know it. I now understand why what I think as my obvious reality as a daughter seems so foreign to others, even those in the family. I am not yet where we can sit, but I'm certainly on the path to healing. And forgiving her and myself. It's nice to hear someone who is further along the path tell it as it is. And show that indeed there is joy in the morning. Thanks Kalekye and big hugs to you. I know that was not easy.

[@irenenzuki5999]

Sweet yet sad. Mothers will always be mothers irrespective of the way their rule books read. #turnarounds do happen

Awesome we need more Africans telling their stories

[@bethwaweru4494]

I love Mrs Mumo without even knowing her

[@dorcasodhiambo4415]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@youareapurposedbeing2026]

I am eagerly waiting for the time I will share my story to the public. It may not be now but I know one time I will.

[@terrydaniel1572]

Love this! I'm also an only daughter and the last-born in a family of three kids. I can completely relate with the tumultuous mother-daughter relationship. I experienced and still do experience all those projections of fears she had and still has. I only aim to do better, should I ever have a daughter. Thanks for sharing, Kalekye!

[@e.cheruto8509]

This is Bittersweet.

[@alphaachayo2891]

Sorry...but I wouldn't like my mother at all if I were you.

[@etvscandalfanpage2011]

Me too Im a little bit confused. For me its so sad being pushed away by your mom when you just started your periods the person you needed the most, and suffer 3 years alone? 🤦‍♀️

[@tushyranx5860]

Typical KD women

[@Stanley_89]

I know you are all probably gonna roast me for this but I have to say it, that's a terrible mother.

[@smk3738]

You're right

[@shade_homes4273]

Very toxic mom.......
