ACTRESS NJAMBI OPENS UP ABOUT SURVIVING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Actress Bernice Njeri popularly known as Njambi has broken her silence on a painful chapter of her life, publicly sharing her survival of gender-based violence. 

The actress recognised for her standout role on the popular comedy series The Real House Helps of Kawangware posted an emotional message on her social media channels. “That abuse was some years ago, I’ve healed, moved on and am in a very happy and safe space…but the trauma still lingers on….. Now, you understand why GBV survives don’t talk about the abuse…

Some people lack empathy and some people are just arrogant and that’s why survivors suffer in silence… I read a comment that said we should talk about the aftermath of violence more, survivors shouldn’t be ashamed nor should they be silenced. ✌️✌️✌️”

She went on to add that she is currently on a 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, “It’s the third slide for me 😔 I lost pieces of myself in that pain…but I found a stronger version of me on the other side. Survivor then, survivor now. As we close the 16 Days of Activism, I stand as proof that survival is strength.”
