A Tale of Two Men - Wanja Gikonyo 

Oh Wanja, your speech is about a painful story yet it is so sweet, well narrated. I am just here hanging on your every word. The best is yet to come.

Smart lady. Fantastic orator. These are the women we need in the media. Such talent. Wanja Kihii may you and your baby be blessed. Daddys girl. May your dad Rest in Peace what a blessing he was. Your unfortunate violent marriage is now behind you. May you meet a loving man one day.

It takes a lot of strength to get the courage to share such depth and painful experiences. I upload you mummy. May the Lord keep strengthening and healing you. He is your loving Father. He has you 100%

Woman, you are great! Victoria is blessed to have you as her Mom. May your Dad continue to RiP.

Congratulations for picking yourself up. You deserve to be happy. You owe yourself love, peace and joy. And, now that you are a mother, your choices will leave a legacy of strength, joy and love to your little angel to always look up to. Be blessed in your journey Wanja.

Ghaaad she's so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! EngageTalk oughta have an EngageHOOKUP button! LOL!

This is what a strong woman looks like

Great command of the queen's language.

....two men I loved. ... my dad told me I couldn't depend on him for advice since no two families were the same! All I had was my husband and the four walls.... Indeed families have own challenges.

😭😭😭 I can't stand onions .Such a beautiful story of pain and victory . God does not waste away our paun

Experience is so relatable. I am glad you finally found the strength to leave your abuser because your life is more important than marriage.

Wow...Beautifully told with all emotions felt. God give you strength.

Such a moving story told with eloquence and grace. I am sure your Dad is proud of you. May he continue to rest in peace 🙏🏾

Honestly!! I am encouraged. And truly God answer's prayer. Wanja you incredible . And a great Mommy. Wow! Am so encouraged.

this the the Kenyan TED, thanks much

I have to admire your command of the queen's language

The best is yet to come - one day at a time - May your dad continue RIP

Eloquence fantastic. Delivery superb. Subject matter most thought provoking should be of concern to all because it does affect many a person!

A warrior you are! An emotional piece with good lessons

Loved the talk. Loved the honesty. Loved the healing. Love you. ❤️

Thanks for sharing your story....I loved, I'm here to tell you "God answers prayers "....

The power of a father

Indeed, God does answer prayer. It doesn't matter how long it takes, His timing is ultimately the best. What a beautiful story!

Firstly I hope you got help especially emotionally and mentally you are very strong well done.. The law didn't protect you from day 1. It's sad that even after going to report domestic violence with visible signs and this police dude took her for violence of tea really.

This made me 😢 Buh thanks for sharing dear wanja

you are amazing. you are beautiful. you are enough. you are strong for picking yourself up.

I relate so much! Domestic violence! Sigh 😔

I have related to her story so much except that I have never experienced physical battering. I miss my dad so much.. may his soul keep resting in peace.

Nobody can Stop you apart from you. Keep going Mrembo😇😇

Wow...such a moving story and so well told

Inspiring story Wanja Gikonyo....you r doing your dad proud.

Very moving story ..... You are strong. Keep going

Such authoritative and fluent eloquence with a sense of humour 👌 You real loved your Dad and unfortunately you landed in the wrong hands of doom. Just wondering aloud though! At 4 yrs your daughter was curious to meet Guka? What about the 👨‍👩‍👧 that never was? Today the daughter is 10yrs. You mean she has never curiously bothered or nagged you for her father despite what happened between you two or what did/ have you told her about her dad? What is his role in her development/providence and now that you divorced in between a child in your womb did you bother to tell him you were carrying his baby despite his despicable act of abuse? I am not into anything specific but the plight of an innocent child vs the intolerable absentee father. How do we handle the mix? Anyone please?

Sending hugs 🤗 you are a real warrior

That's a worrior right there. Thanks Wanja

I am sooo glad that you finally got thay baby!! I can relate.

so eloquent - really nice talk

Your dad was a great man.. may he continue to rest in peace. Happy for you finally, God answers prayers. Be all for Victoria..

Such eloquence you are strong mama

Oh hugs. I know, months down the line but hugs. You're a strong woman.

Heeeey namesake☺that's really bold of you 👏

Good command of the queens language n what an experience. What you did not tell us,did the OCS end up snapping you up after the divorce to become the father to Victoria? Just curious.painful story but beautiful ending.

It was a joy listening. Well told.

Story well narrated. Good grammar. Pole to the loss of your dad. Rip

this is the Kenyan story so replete you would think it's normal ..... sigh... I have felt it...

God be with you Wanja.

Damn..... Sad. But I'm happy it came out good in the end. Now,, when I go to report abuse to the ocs, do they just keep a record and life goes on or what the actual....was happening there?

You're awesome Wanja..... super awesome

You need to break the soul ties with your late dad and know he was a steward. God is your real father. May He guide you in everything concerning your life so you can soar.

Thanks for sharing...

Very powerful..

you are amazing

We love you and wish you all the best !

How do you get people talk at engage?

so eloquent.

Great!

Our God has a real sense of humour...he had to wait for her to reach her end,for Victoria to come...God knew!!He always knoooooows...

Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️

I love your story Wanja. I hope you find who sees how beautiful you are inside and out. Coincidentally I share a birthday with your dad.🤔

I feel like you are talking to me

💗

I'm eager to hear one woman who will say how she contributed to altercations? Many men react with physical battery when they cannot contain the verbal and psychological abuse. Unfortunate but true!

😔

A story has 3 sides...Men are abused by their partners a lot more often than you. Less say no to domestic violence.
