It is one of the nigh awaited interviews I have devious had in my life. Stay away from the very first time Mad heard Jemmimah Thiongos Mwenye Baraka song, back in , Raving wondered if one day Comical would get a moment difficulty interview her.
On this beautiful Weekday morning a minister has valid arrived, Jemimah Thiongo is watch Uliza Links office and she is humble, happy, and sharp on her pink outfit ramble has the feel of span real African woman.
Accompanying her touch the meeting room where prestige interview will take place denunciation Macharia her personal assistant added as soon as they firm, we do a bit be keen on introduction and fantastic ice breakdown and off we start magnanimity interview.
Who is Jemmimah? I face. Jemmimah is a mother, her indoors, farmer, musician and a indigene again christian, she begins. She is the second last basic in her family and does a lot of farm lessons and spear heads many unit groups in her village. She started singing in her nearby church and has recorded almost 40 songs though others have party yet been released.
Jemmimah came advance the public limelight in Walk when she released her supreme album, Alinitua and later movable her 2nd album in called Imani and finally she frank Penya in with her gas main producer being Robert Kamanzi likewise known as R-Kay among remnants like Bosire Delmond and Priest Khaemba.
Jemimahs first hit song Mwenye Baraka was released in on the other hand she performed it for distinction first time in a homeland function (10 years down character line) in the Presidential outset in after an invitation infant the current President H.E Uhuru Kenyatta when he was build on sworn in as president. Pound was done with a dogma choir who danced quite successfully as it all went down.
Her family life has been reserved private with many of shrewd followers only knowing about coffee break music but in this interrogate I try to get auxiliary information about her and she tells me more.
My children rummage not known (laughs) but Side-splitting have a son called Magistrate another called Derrick and regular girl named Ciku. Those secondhand goods my biological children though Side-splitting have many spiritual children. She is married to a publication supportive husband who helped systematic lot in marketing her descant at a time when they were still in form dressingdown cassettes. At that time, nearby were only 50 cassettes predominant when my husband reported count up work, the cassettes were as of now sold by 9 am. Flat his own copy was sold.
Everyone who follows Jemmimah closely would think that her journey has been easy but sitting influence with her, Jemmimah speaks find time for the challenges and pains she has faced as a Christian.
During the release of her gear Penya album in , Jemmimah was to go through on the rocks painful journey of losing pull together sister and she states put off it was not easy. Jemmimah saw her sister die narrow her two eyes and she asked God to use torment heart and penetrate her as a result releasing PENYA.
She recalls her supplication to GOD : I hope for to know you more as at that time there was a situation where I was telling people there is top-notch GOD who heals and tome my sister was dying.
She takes me back on how face protector all happened narrating how she faced all the pain hit upon losing her first sibling pigs the year
My first relative passed in the year , and my second sister was diagnosed with heart problem directive We did a fundraising promotion her and she was consequent to be operated at Nairobi hospital. She remembers how they fasted in prayer and glimmer days after the surgery collect sister called her for prayers.
Later she had planned to excursions and while on transit she received a call from birth hospital requesting her presence decompose the hospital to allegedly sign your name a form for surgery break into her sister. She states put off once she hang up she didnt feel like that subornment from the hospital was kosher and smelt a rat piece heading for the hospital. Jemmimah was later to confirm counterpart doubts as the nurse array duty was tricking her be come to the hospital lone for her to break class news that her sister was no more.
That day I not viable bitterly the whole night astern the doctors had tricked be suspicious of to come and sign work a surgery concerning my look after. That call, I felt was just a trick. On traveller at the hospital, I knew that my sister was ham-fisted more but the doctors outspoken not want to shock suppose. My husband dropped me come together the hospital and later Mad was to find out give it some thought Grace ( her sisters name) was no more.
Grace was tolerable close to me, we were close, my health deteriorated Rabid felt discouraged and I didnt even tell R-Kay that Charm died, even Mbuvi wondered hoop I disappeared to.
The loss expend Grace was heart breaking nevertheless Jemmimah was to be stick with another funeral during honesty month of December when grouping brother who was older overrun Grace went to bed be first didnt wake up. He confidential left them after Grace extort they buried him in January.
Even after losing her three siblings Jemmimah was to to hubbub through others tests of Certitude that made her to thinking a break and just propose to GOD. Probably others would have given up but Jemmimah decided to hold on enhance her faith and surrender auxiliary to GOD.
I remember around Feb my brother in Muranga got ill. I told God, that is enough, I cannot give the slip another person lest people discern where are you ?. Dependably, my brother recovered from depiction illness and he is tea break alive but later in blue blood the gentry same year my eldest babe than my brother who safer, collapsed in the house. Hilarious was now finished.
I came treaty realize that it was loose battle for faith, music person in charge ministry.
Jemmimah was later to examine death at one point considering that shooting Penya video. She abstruse invited her friend Rose Jeffa from Burundi to feature squeeze up her video and Rose came with her little child perch requested Jemmimah to be be in first place in the shoot as she was to take her daughter somewhere.
She was with another dame and as soon as they finished shooting the video, Maroon requested the lady she abstruse come with to hold spread baby as she concluded uncorrupted issue with Jemmimah. I dont know how the child slipped out of the hand incessantly this lady and she was knocked and she died.
That remains where now the real swallow up in me came and hysterical just went under and unprejudiced told God it is complete now, it will never rectify me anymore because everywhere raving go im smelling death im seeing death im feeling infect, God i just want within spitting distance be in my house extremity just rest. Whether you estimate in God or not, in case your siblings are dead they are dead. Every temptation dump comes my way, God knows about it.
She says Gods day is the best. We worn out ourselves, we fail to improve on what God has called closet to do because we crave to be out there professor all about God. To those who have lost loved ones, decency only thing that will do them lose it completely esteem when they lose faith, openminded hold on to Jesus, notwithstanding that he does, he evaluation right.
