In 2019, Jeremy Kiuna left many in shock after confessing on live TV that he had tried committing suicide twice.
Speaking during 'Woman Without Limits' a show produced by his mother, Jeremy confessed that depression and self-doubt led him there.
"My parents took me to the US after primary school, I thought we were just going to travel, what I did not know is that my parents were leaving me behind to study.
The first school I went too was largely dominated by white students and I stayed for weeks before I talked to anyone.
I would go sit somewhere and take my meals alone before going back to class."
He added;
"I was later transferred to New Manchester High School ,which is largely dominated by black students and for the first time I felt at home.
Jeremy said that the pressure to keep up with fellow students especially given that he has a disability was tough.
"I had tried to commit suicide twice. One day I called my dad and decided to talk to him about what I was going through.
After talking to him, I then talked to my mum and when I told her that I had tried committing suicide, she screamed."
Speaking about the phone call from her son, Kiuna partly stated.
"That call from my son that he had wanted to commit suicide is a call no parent should receive.
I screamed and wondered how that could be happening to a boy I had raised in so much love, a boy who was so confident."
