The pregnant Nadia Mukami explained why she kept it private, noting that she did not hide from the limelight, but instead chose to embrace it differently.
“No one has to die just for gender’s sake. Just because you are a woman and you got a baby, it doesn’t have to put you in danger. Sometimes you are frustrated.”
“I remember when I got pregnant, God remembered me the most. I have done so many cooperative deals because I have embraced my journey privately. Watu wa blogs mko hapa najua mtasema Nadia alikuwa anaficha mimba, no. Pregnancy is a very private journey. There are days you wake up you have a big meeting but you just want to sleep the whole day. So sometimes some of us don’t want to reveal it out there,” said Nadia Mukami.
