Nominated senator Karen Nyamu recently took to social media to offer empowering advice to women on how to lead fulfilling lives without placing their happiness solely on anything or anyone else.

In a photo shared on her social media accounts, Nyamu appeared confident in a red checked skirt suit paired with a white top. Accompanying the image was a heartfelt caption specifically addressing women's experiences. The politician has been in the midst of a highly publicized relationship with Mugithi singer Samidoh Muchoki, who is married to Edday Nderitu. Nyamu and Samidoh also share two children together, and she has publicly celebrated him for being a great father, even gifting him a KSh 420,000 drink on Father's Day.

In her message, Nyamu emphasized that women don't need to do it all. They don't have to be supermoms, super housewives, super professionals, or superwomen. She expressed that when life takes its toll on their bodies, there will be few who remember the effort to be everything at once. Children grow up and leave, husbands may not always stay, work can easily replace one's presence, and the house will inevitably get dirty again. Nyamu stressed that while fulfilling these roles is important, women should also prioritize their emotional well-being as it may not come with a second chance.

However, a curious netizen with the handle @ladonnah_chepkemoi questioned if Nyamu had been dumped, to which she responded, "Utangoja ngoja. Hii nayo inataka patience," implying that she had to wait for the right time. Another Instagram user, @caroline.kanini3, commented on the challenges women face when it comes to leaving money, to which Nyamu replied, "Exactly, I wouldn't leave him with his money. Ladies, go out and make your own money."

Nyamu's message resonated with many women who appreciated her candid advice on prioritizing self-love and independence. By encouraging women to embrace their emotional well-being and not solely rely on others for happiness, Nyamu empowers them to take control of their lives and make their own financial and emotional decisions.

As Karen Nyamu continues to navigate her own journey, her message serves as a reminder to women everywhere to love themselves, pursue their dreams, and prioritize their own well-being above societal expectations or romantic relationships.
