Veteran media personality and radio presenter Jeridah Andayi’s daughter, Neema, recently celebrated her birthday, marking a year older in the most heartwarming way.

However, what really caught the attention of netizens was her new accent. Neema, who has spent just a short time in the U.S., has quickly developed an American accent, impressing fans with how quickly she has adapted to her new environment.
In the video, Neema said, "Hi guys, it is my birthday, and these are the things I like about me. First, I like being a lastborn; my favourite colour is red, and my favourite foods are pizza and lasagna. I like my new school and my desk mate."
Fans were quick to notice a few fun details in Neema’s birthday video. The lastborn surprisingly didn’t mention Vaseline as a favourite—despite her usual habit of applying it liberally on her face.
Another amusing detail was her love for lasagna, which tickled viewers considering her Luhya roots and their love for traditional foods.
Growing social media presence
Neema, along with her siblings, has built a loyal fanbase thanks to Jeridah’s social media presence.
Through videos shared on her mother’s account, Neema has become a fan favourite, with viewers drawn to her humour and vibrant personality.
In many of these videos, fans often enjoy seeing Jeridah’s three children interact, and it’s become a bit of a tradition for viewers to ‘pick sides’ among the siblings, each bringing their own unique personalities to the mix.
Though Jeridah has yet to officially confirm their move to the United States, fans quickly noticed the change of scenery in her recent posts.
The family’s relocation has sparked curiosity, with many excited to see how they’re adjusting to life in a new country.

Jeridah Andayi’s parenting choices
Jeridah Andayi has always been open about her parenting style and her decision to involve her children in her public life. She has shared her thoughts on social media, discussing why she chooses to expose her children to the limelight.
Despite some criticism from people who feel that raising children in the public eye is not the right decision, Jeridah has always stood by her choices.
In a past YouTube video, she addressed the criticisms head-on. "I don’t know if I would have it any other way. I have had people come to me and lecture me on why I expose my children to the limelight. Why am I raising my children in front of the camera? They tell me it is not right, and I respect their opinion. However, I would appreciate it if they understood I am not raising my kids with a script but in my own way," she explained.
