The lady who was married to controversial Pastor, Victor Kanyari explained her struggles on her YouTube channel. She said;
‘Someone might ask if I have ever been depressed and I would say, yes I have. I knew I was depressed after I attended a wedding only to realize that I had worn slippers. I had not combed my hair nor had I applied lotion on myself.
in my mind, I knew that before I left home I had planned on attending a wedding but I did not plan on attending while looking unkempt.’
But thankfully the singer had some great news to share with her fans and followers. She added;
‘Thankfully I overcame my depression, with time I will open up on what drove me there in the first place and how I overcame that phase.’
