Nyce added that the relatives did not care that she was a child, as some of them could just talk bad about her, even in her presence.
“As a child, I grew up around a lot of negativity. I vividly remember the number of times I'd overhear some relatives claim that I would not amount to anything. They didn't care that I could hear them and that they are speaking to my spirit. "Kaschana kana macho kubwa na kamwili ni kijiti, mdomo kiherehere tu." This really messed up my self-confidence,” read part of her post.

“At a young age, I vowed to bring up my young ones in an environment full of positive vibes, letting them know that they do not need people's approval to know their worth, intelligence or beauty. I went through it so that they don't have to. The cycle had to be broken, break yours too,” she wrote.
