“You see that scar on my back? That’s just what you can see. When I was young, I got burned by porridge. I was barely walking. Dad says I was still crawling. Back in Kakamega. Mum had prepared porridge and ran out to do something. I crawled, and touched the tip of the pot (sufuria) and it toppled over. Long story short, I burned 80%. I don’t know what that means”.

Matete’s fans thanked her for sharing her story and also shared their experiences on their social media pages.


‘Talking is a great part of the healing process. You never know who you’re inspiring when you share your story. You also get to know that what you’re going through or went through is not unfamiliar with other people.. “She stated.
