Since the year begun, actress and media personality Marthat Kay has been in and out of hospitals as she even had to fly out to Nairobi for specialized treatment but now she has opened up while celebrating her birthday, what is really going on with her life.
Through a post shared on her social media platforms, the Next Media employee opened up about her sickness and insecurities.
The excessive weight gain made Martha insecure about her body hence embarking on sharing half photos on socials.
Below is her full post:
"Vulnerable post alert 🚨
Tomorrow is my birthday. A day I am normally super excited about. A day I plan for well in advance. A day I do a photoshoot with @imani_makeup_studio @kais_divo_collection and all the dope photographers in town. This year is different because I have been unwell for the past 4-6 months. It’s not just that I’ve been unwell and missing a lot of moments with my friends but the medication I’m on has made me gain sooo much weight that I am so insecure about my body.
I’ve always been chubby but this time it’s something else. I don’t even want to take pics unless my mum Forces it. (She’s behind all these shots) I know I should love my body regardless but sometimes it’s really hard. Especially when it’s hormonal. So, no photoshoot this year… mostly because I don’t want to remember this part of my life!
I’m excited about tomorrow though… it’s a new beginning! I am eating healthier, working out, making time for myself and that which I love, I am ensuring the people that I interact with are good people. My people.
I am reinventing myself, refocusing, repurposing, recreating, restoring that which I lost. I am excited.
It’s a revival!
This is 28"
