In today's episode, Auntie Jemimah opens up about her past struggles with drug addiction during high school, recounting a moment of blackout at home that made her parents aware of the situation.

Despite this challenging start, she is now widely recognized for her contributions to the media industry, excelling as a radio host, content creator, and comedian. Notably, she made history as the first Kikuyu woman to host a solo comedy show at the Kenya Cultural Center.

Auntie Jemimah also addresses a difficult period when necitizens criticized her following the loss of her child, with some attributing blame to a baby shower she had hosted earlier. In the show, she sheds light on the medical complications that affected both her and the child, offering insights into improved methods for diagnosing and treating pregnancy-related issues.

Encountering Auntie Jemimah in 2016 during my kuihuria show brought immense joy, witnessing her role as a female Kikuyu stand-up comedian. We've stayed connected, and she recently shared something significant during her stand-up comedy.
