Gatwiri’s Unbreakable Bond with Her Mom

Gatwiri herself often spoke of the strong connection with her mom. In a recently resurfaced interview, she shared how her mother’s support was a vital force in her life, especially when she ventured into content creation—a career not always well understood.

“My mother is my top fan,” Gatwiri said with pride. “When I post something, she reacts immediately. She’s so proud of me, and that makes me so happy because not many parents understand content creation.”
