Akothee is one woman who inspires women all over Kenya with her stories of determination and perseverance. It doesn't hurt that she peppers this with her dramatic anecdotes about her life.

The mother of five wrote an emotional message on her Instagram page, warning mothers to always be with their kids as they can't trust other women to take care of their flesh and blood.

The reason for her outburst was an image she had seen on a Tanzanian blog that showed a girl who had reportedly been physically abused by her stepmom.

This prompted the singer to come out with a few words of caution for mothers.

This is a sad sad story showing that some people can be very evil.

The trope of the evil stepmother has been seen in many movies, the most famous example being in the classic book, Cinderella.

In it, the stepmother harasses the protagonist Cinderella continuously in the story until her luck changes.

Let us hope the story of the girl in the image above has now changed.
