Speaking during an interview with Massawe Japanni, she said

'My dad went abroad to look for greener pastures.

That is when they parted,we struggled for a while but I thank God because he has sustained us.

My dad is still alive and I still talk to him despite he and my mum breaking up.'

Mercy's dad is of Luhya heritage while her mother is a Kamba. She is sister to media personality Betty Kyallo and Gloria Kyallo.

Speaking on how having a famous sister has helped her, Mercy said

'Betty has contributed so much to my fame in business, When I was fired from my job I stayed home for two months.

I had so many thoughts.

By that time I had a partner who was so encouraging during that tough period.'

She is the founder of Yallo leather, a company that provides all things leather wallets, handbags, belts etc.

Unlike most people she is not just riding on her sisters fame.
