Tyler Mbaya, aka Baha, a former Machachari actor, says the death of his mother changed his plans for starting a family.

After a long battle with cancer, Baha lost his mother, Beth Nyambura, in 2013. Baha was in Form One at Nairobi School at the time.
“Missing my parents’ love and warmth made it apparent to me that I needed to have a family of my own,” he said.
“Deep down I had a strong feeling that family brings positive energy in life and I knew I would draw strength and inspiration to push limits from my family.”
The father of one added that losing his mother at a young age forced him to mature quickly.
“Additionally, I felt I had matured to have a baby so when my girlfriend broke the news to me last year, I wasn’t really shocked,” he said.
He recently gave birth to a baby girl and aspires to be her best friend and role model.
“Being a father at 21 meant reconsidering some of the things that I wanted to do in my youth. I want to be my daughter’s role model,” he said.
