Popular Kenyan female DJ Pierra Makena has come out openly to share how she uses her depression experience to help and encourage others who are going through tough and difficult times like she did.
Makena does this by replying to question people undergoing depression ask in her DM.
‘I try to reply to as many dms as i can. I know sharing my story helps maybe one or two people out here who are probably going through the same thing as me.’
This comes after Pierra confessed that she battled with depression months after splitting with her baby daddy.
She said:‘This matter really stressed me. I began to overthink and lost weight in the process.’
Pierra revealed that she broke up with her baby daddy two weeks before finding out she was pregnant.
She said: ‘I broke up with my lover but i didn’t know that i was already pregnant. Two weeks later i went to the hospital and it was confirmed i was pregnant.’
She continued saying she was confused and did not know how to break the news to her family, considering she was brought up in a Christian family.
‘I didn’t know where to begin telling my parents that i’m pregnant because i was brought up in a christian family.
Piers, however, said her mother was supportive .
The beatbox DJ is the fourth born in a family of three boys and three girls said her sister even allowed her to move in with her so that it could be easier to look after her.
‘I went through depression, i could not even gain weight. My family was my support system especially my mother.’
Pierra noted that she has moved on and so has the baby daddy.
‘And everyone is happily living their separate lives.’
She finally said that: ‘I’m done with motherhood. My one daughter is enough.’
