Nadia Mukami Speaks On Her Motherhood Struggles

Nadia Mukami, a Kenyan singer, recently discussed her difficulties adjusting to motherhood months after giving birth.

Nadia revealed through her Instagram stories that while she appeared cheerful to the outside world, she was actually struggling and that it had taken a lot of effort for her to get through it.

The Maombi hitmaker added that when she asked pals for help, they thought she was acting overly emotional and feigning weakness.

“I really struggled with the whole new mummy thing! Bruh! I am a very strong woman but I really did get overwhelmed. I tried to try to tell anyone how hard that shift was, and the story was; why are you acting weak, you are not the first one, you are being emotional,” she said.

Nadia noted that parenting had a toll on her career saying that she stuck to prayer for guidance.

“Work overwhelmed me the most! I felt like no one understood me at all. I just asked God for strength and guidance!” she stated.
The artist performed in Meru for the first time after giving birth, drawing a sizable crowd for a solo gig.

The mother of one acknowledged that it had been six months since her last performance and thanked the people of Meru for welcoming her concert with open arms.

She added that it was the first time she had left her son behind for a performance outside of the city.

“History was made. I had not performed in 6 months, I have mom brain due to breastfeeding where I forget things and lyrics (especially during rehearsals). I had left my son for the first time (I did not sleep) just thinking what if it does not work, will it be worth it?

“Our venue was changed a day to the event & even one of our sponsors pulled out last minute! I knew baaas no turn up at all! Bruh! But I did it! I am proud of myself!” Nadia said.
