Kiss FM presenter Adelle Onyango has made it to the cover of True Love; it’s such a big deal to her because of her late mother Mary Onyango.
The late Ms Onyango, who until her death in 2012 was vice chairperson of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), was featured on True Love Magazine years ago where she talked about her fight with breast cancer.
Mary Onyango battled breast cancer since 1999 when she was first diagnosed with it until her death at Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu on March 31st 2012.
“My late mum was on the cover of/in true love_ea many years ago sharing her journey battling breast cancer. We were so excited when it came out because first it was a daring shoot (topless) and she was candidly opening up about fighting breast cancer! I remember being so proud of her!!! She was so fearless and so aware that her purpose was bigger than her. So self aware and strong!”
“To be on this month’s cover and have my story in this mag is powerful for me and a true connection to my mum’s journey! I truly hope mine and Terryanne Chebet’s stories inspire you!” Wrote Adelle Onyango.
Terryanne Chebet, who was also featured on March 2017 edition of True Love magazine, also talked about her struggles.
“Someone asked me the other day if I knew that my anchoring days would end so prematurely ( or so I thought) I responded after having a reflective and personal moment. Yes, sometimes you can see it because, for one, they stop looking into your eyes.. I’ve learned in the last few months that not many people are really interested in the salutation ‘How are you doing?’ Because, ‘I’m fine’ is the easy answer and sadly it’s not always true. This month on TrueloveEA I share the story of reinventing myself. I hope my journey inspires someone to believe in himself/ herself, and pray, no matter what. The incredible Adelle Onyango also shares her moving story after the death of her loving mother to Cancer, and rising to the top despite all odds. Thanking True Love East Africa for believing in us! #Godwins”
