By just listening to Radio Jambo's mid-morning show presenter, Massawe Japanni you may just think her life is nothing short of a bed of roses just by listening to her beautiful voice, her laughter or even by looking at her photos online.
But it's not until you get to listen to the heartbreaking story behind that charming smile, that's you learn Massawe Japanni is a beautiful story who chose to not dwell on the pain she has gone through; as a woman and more so as a parent. She decided to believe in God and focus on what the future has to offer and live as an inspiration to many out there.
Massawe Japanni opened up to our Radio Jambo reporter about her painful experience which dates back to 11 years ago when she lost Kwame, her first born baby.
Massawe is quite a reserved person but she chose to step out and open up about her dark past in a bid to inspire other women who have gone through the same traumatizing experience as she did.
"Talking is therapy" said the award-winning Bustani La MJ presenter owing to the fact that her show majorly focuses on women and issues they face.
She says her decision to share her story was motivated by one lady who called in during her show and shared how she has had a rough journey, where she has experienced one too many miscarriages in her 8-year marriage.
"It was a very painful experience by the way 11 years ago I had just gotten married, our first born was a son whom we had already named Kwame and it came as a huge blow to us and I took time to come to terms that I had just lost my baby." narrated Massawe a mother of three beautiful daughters.
ALSO;
"It was a huge blow because I was fresh from the surgery room and after all the painful months I returned home empty handed and you know the excitement that comes with a family expecting their first child, the preparations from family members and after all you find yourself off the theater in the morning wishing it was all just a nightmare and the sounds of other children crying was simply unbearable." added an emotional Massawe.
The mother of three also opened up on how together with her loving and caring husband worked together to overcome the terrible moment which involved crying together and sticking together through the entire emotional period, which vastly affected her career-wise as well.
Her story is simply touching.
