¨It’s not yet time to throw in that towel. Mimi nilikuwa hawker¨ Vivian´s message to upcoming female acts

The lucrative music industry is almost a pass for the male gender but for a female to make it through, there are struggles to bear with.

Kenya´s top female artist, Vivian had to struggle her way to the top in the male-dominated music industry.

Up on social media, the beauty converged upcoming female acts reminding them that their win is just about.

And to make it more relatable, she cites her very own experience. Her past reminds her how she started off as a hawker and neither was she spared.

Vivian got sexually and physically harassed by influential men in the business. However, that did not crush her dreams, if anything, she came out stronger and bolder.

She then took up karaoke gigs at Ksh 4,000 monthly.

Here she is now. Topping the male-dominated music industry like a Queen, still pushing and staying grateful through it all.

Furthermore, her sincere gratitude goes to her hubby, Sam West for being her rock.

Many female acts give up before time! Please kujeni kwa hii kona I need to tell you it’s not yet time to throw in that towel.. Bado masaa… .

Everyone who told you you’re not good enough will watch you living your best life. Mimi nilikuwa hawker ; I have been physically and sexually taken advantage of by influential men in this business but here I am stronger than I ever thought I could be. Still pushing and staying greatful all the while! .

And thanking God for my special man @samwestke . He surely is my rock ????.

Kwa hivyo kila mtu ashikilie kabisa.. Your future is brighter than you could ever know! .
