    This is a great Father's Day gift and should be shared widely to enlighten and inspire other fathers. Jimmy Gathu, I still remember the way Kenyans reacted when we heard you were getting married to a lovely single mother. You made it clear that you loved her and her child. Clearly you have proved it again and again. Looking great as usual. May God continue Blessing you and your family abundantly. Thank you Jimmy Gathu for sharing your fatherhood journey.

    I grew up watching Jimmy on Club Kiboko and really admired him. I still admire his mature demeanor and sense of values. It's funny that the same Nation media company that fired him now wants to "hear his story."

  • @Phoenixdawn111
    @Phoenixdawn111 Před 4 lety +1

    Very inspiring! Grace you do a great job, you let your guests open up, and roll with their story.. it's more than an interview, it's like two friends, it's like a conversation on a Sunday afternoon over tea, it's candid and yet gentle... You are a great listener and you ask the right open ended questions. I sense that your guests leave the show more empowered and sure of themselves! You are humble and courteous, and think you are one of the best interviewers I have seen yet... I used to see a bit of Oprah in you but not anymore, you have grown into your own person and are better than her and all of them combined! Keep it up and I pray that you keep growing to greater heights! Be blessed..
