Jackie Matubia was recently a guest on Diana Marua's cooking show. The two had a long conversation that touched on facets of Jackie's life that most people don't know about.
One of the areas was how the actress had really struggled to get an acting job after giving birth to her first daughter. She said,
"The child came, now I am ready to go back to work. The baby's going to 5 months but that's when I got a crazy depression. I used to cry on a daily basis. You go for auditions but guys don't want to hire you cause they know where I used to work (at Tahidi High). And those people paid well. So the guys auditioning you don't want to pay that."
She added that that period had been the toughest one in her life, even having regrets about having her beautiful daughter.
"Coming back for women after giving birth is really hard in this industry. It got to a point where I was looking at my child and wondering, 'Why did I have you?' My career has stopped etc. This was my lowest moment. It was a tough time.
But despite that fleeting thought, Jackie didn't lose hope and pushed herself for her daughter's sake.
"You cry yourself to sleep and wake up the strongest woman because you have a child looking at you for their providence."
