Gospel singer Kambua is sensitizing people about what they say.
The 'Usiku Na Mchana' singer said she received insensitive reactions from people when she was on 'the waiting season' to get a child.
In a post on Instagram, Kambua said she was always asked by people 'Utazaa lini?'
“Utazaa lini”? I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve to sensitize one another on the things we say, and their repercussions.But it’s not only on social media that we have been less than kind… it’s in our families, our workspace, our communities.Have you been a safe space for someone who is struggling with#infertilityor perhaps something else? If not, when you know better, you must do better," she wrote
In a video shared on her 'Being Kambua' podcast, the gospel singer and former TV presenter would experience the same both in real life and on social media.
"You know how you can put a picture on Facebook, wishing people a great day and then somebody comes on there and writes 'Utazaa Lini' and before you know it, its 90 comments under that one comment having a discussion about why you are as 'I was called many times barren" she said
In a past video on her podcast, Kambua revealed she would have been a mother of a six-year-old.
"My name is Kambua (@kambuamuziki ). I am a mother of two (or three, or four)? Nathaniel is my 4 YO, and Nathalie is my 1+ . My baby boy Malachi would be 2, he Iives in heaven now. My first baby would have been six.So you see how complicated it is for angel moms to introduce themselves… some people get it, others don’t, and that’s ok."
She also described her podcast as a safe space that break stigma and taboos surrounding women.
"I began this community because I realized the shocking ignorance surrounding infertility, miscarriages, child loss, and overall maternal health.We can’t carry on with business as usual while women (and men) are falling through the cracks." She wrote on Instagram
She added;
"In this space you will get educated, you will learn how to sympathize and empathize. We will, together learn how to hold space for one another. Because when we know better, we do better. For every person who feels that they don’t have the courage to share their story publicly as my guests graciously have, it’s ok. We will speak for you.I love you all for being here." she wrote
