Oooh Emmily! You are so authentic and have such a beautiful soul. What matters is what brings you peace and happiness. I watched the whole video without taking a break and thanks for sharing your story. I have a strong feeling just as your intuitions tells you about "mom´s friend" could be your dad hence she cried. Please look for him and find out BUT most important your happiness & well being sis ❤
Very interesting one Emmily, totally enjoyed it and some parts were actually hilarious like your aunt's clickbait wanting some money😂. Depending how you look at it, its sad, but true that some people will choose to take certain secrets to their grave no matter what. Wishing you luck that eventually you'll find out, but also keep living your life and finding meaning to it regardless. Thanks for sharing🙏
💯 Lol, thanks! Yea, my aunt definitely tried to kunitoanisha 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Actually, one of my greatest worries actually is my Mom passing without telling me who my father actually is; my father passing without me ever meeting him; me passing without ever knowing who my father is.
I just love the way you tell your stories Emily and you have all the right to know who your dad is. Mum needs to bring this to rest and give you some peace which ever the way she brought you to this world.
Lol, thanks! Based on you YT name, I'm surprised you haven't scolded me about the story and how shameful and disrespectful it is, like some people have been telling me.
Thank you Emmily Many kikuyu's have maasai blood and intermarriages are very common! I am a ngwace on both sides. My grandfather's mother was maasai and my Dad's side has been comingled with maasai for generations
Lol, it wasn't a live actually. Just a regular video post. When the time comes for a live, I'll definitely send advance notice inform of a post on my channel. Thanks so much for watching, and rewatching 🙂
Good question. The only place I would refer you to go buy doors is the same place where I bought mine in Gikomba. However, like you heard me mention in my other video that my fundi said mine weren't dry; I'd advise that you get a fundi who can either help you identify dry doors there at Gikomba, or one who can take you where good, dry doors are sold. Given that I bought the doors myself, and then my fundi said that what I bought wasn't dry, that tells you that I do not know what to watch out for in regard to dryness. Apparently, they look at color and weight to distinguish dry doors vs not dry doors. Therefore, I insist that you get yourself an experienced fundi to guide you on this.
@@EmmilyTiampati I thought it was a live podcast. With regards to Kenya as a tribal Country, I have found that folks from the Rift Valley or Central seem to be keener on tribe than any other community. Even in the diaspora, you are like to be questions from folks from these regions about your background. I always get that question, where are you from…seldom is it from folks from coast or western. This is just my experience, even as recent as two days ago. This was my experience even in Campo at JKUAT back in the day.
Lol, you do live in Kericho? I'd really like to visit there someday. Nitembe Nyagacho, and other neighborhoods. We do? Okay.. yea, feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp. I'm interested in hearing your story.
Manze ni kama movie😂. I was gonna say how wrong it is for you to be so upfront with such intimate family issues but I wont. Anyway I will you well but I hope you find a proper balance on what you should and shouldn't share in a TH-cam channel. Good luck and please be easy on your mum; like you said she had you when she was so young and most likely she's not proud of so many things. People of a certain generation are not able to fungua roho easily like we do. She's probably in forever tears
Lol, I know.. I need Netflix deal 😁 It's the reality of my life, and my identity, or lack there of. What intimate detail made you uncomfortable? I feel like people with perceptions like yours make people with stories like mine to feel intimidated to share our truth publicly, in the name of 'protecting intimate family issues'. Yet, all I want is the truth, regardless of how ugly it is. Had I been told of it, it wouldn't be a topic of discussion right now. If anything, me protecting intimate family issues will never get me an answer. I might as well take my chances and share my story. Who knows what the outcome might be? In regard to tears, that makes two of us, at least. In regard to striking a balance on what to share on my YT channel or not, that's not a concern to me, cz I'm self aware. Besides, what's uncomfortable to you, isn't uncomfortable to me. My channel is about showing and speaking the truth, the reality, without sugarcoating it.
Hae Emily ,,, actually i always wanted to ask you ,are u a kikuyu or a maasai juu kiasi unakaa wakikuyu but more of maasai,,,but i think it's good for single parent to let their children know of other parent coz things happen,,n feel encouraged coz if i were you I could have asked the same question,,,,i wish your mum akue tu open kwako....baraka
I have listened as you narrate your whole story kabisa kabisa. And one thing I am sure is that all those relatives know your Dad. Reason why none has ever told you his identity, I don't know. I can only say someone might have forbidden them. It is not possible for a girl kwanza hapo kitambo to get pregnant and not be asked who impregnated her. From there a visit to the man's home followed to report that kijana yao amevunja mbuzi mguu.
What if it's a close relative situation. Growing up I knew a young disabled lady who's older first cousin took advantage of and she got pregnant .The child is now an adult but it's a family secret.
Hi Emmily; if I am to speculate; and no disrespect to your mother by all means, the fact that your mother refuses about your father’s identity; my guess is, it could be the father of your crush; thinking about it; she could be hiding it because that could ruin her friendship with her friend; perhaps she’s hiding from her friend as well; just speculating. However the conversation was interesting and the way you are narrating it, and good luck hopefully one day you get to find him I can relate to your story where my mother in law refused to tell my husband who his father was; and I never forget the day when we went head hunting for him and he eventually found him and only to find out that he is my mother in laws cousin; hopefully you find your dad❤
Wow, I know people who've been in the same shoes as mine, your husband for instance, can relate and empathize with my story. Wacha hawa wengine wa sijui oh una reveal intimate family issues, etc etc. So glad your husband found his dad. I think their friendship already got ruined when my Mom was relentlessly against our marriage. Honestly, I've also pondered whether her refusing to tell me about my dad is because I'm a taboo child; i.e. whether I was fathered by her cousin (like your husband's case for instance) or by another relative; or by someone's husband, etc. Regardless, I still wanna know the truth, no matter how much it hurts her or me. If this would be the case for me, I feel like it wouldn't be my place to judge them, cz we're all human. We make mistakes anyway. I'd just have to live with it. Yea, a lot of people are thinking that it's that guy. Now that I'm back in Kenya, I'm gonna start pursuing that lead more seriously and see where it takes me.
You should not be apologetic for things beyond your control. People should read their history and geography to understand the relationship between the Maa and Agikuyu communities. Rironi is located in Kiambu county and it's one of the border point between Masai land and Kikuyu land. Before the invasion of the British in the 1800ths the Kikuyu and Masai communities had integrated so much in many aspects. The Masai morans and Kikuyu, Njamba cia taa, jointly invaded Kamba land in 1895 to settle scores and share the spoils Mathai -a-gwaci is the colloquial name to the Kikuyus who had migrated to Narok due to intermarriage or otherwise. The Masai -Kikuyu unity was spoiled by division due to bad politics .
You look Maa 😂 Momanyi is a common name in Kisii too. All people called Momanyi came from Maasai through their mothers. Mosigisi came from Kipsigis, Mokamba came from Akamba, Mogere and Omache came from Luo. Bantu tribes are quite mixed up. 😂 I was born in Kericho and I fit in most tribes. I speak 10+ languages.
Kikuyu's & Masai's have a very long history from way back. There was a lot of intermarriage and yes, "snatching" of girls for brides. But the tribes got along very well. Many Masai's today are half Masai/half Kikuyu but they prefer to say they are Masai's. I remember when we were little my father would take us for drives and we spent an afternoon in Kajiado where we saw beautiful Masai women or so I thought. Until one of them spoke to the other "Wanjiku lalalalala......" I turned to my dad and said, "these are Kikuyu's not Masai's" and my father laughed and said "yes, they are Kikuyu's that got married in Masai land". Awesome!
Lol, so true!! The Kikuyu women adopted the Maasai culture so well. From language, to attire, to circumcision, to ear piercing, to naming their children Maasai names, and etc.
I don't know. I'm guessing she won't be surprised that I'm still interested in this subject matter. However, I don't expect her to budge on her stance of refusing to tell me the truth.

💯 apparently, most Kikuyu's, and people in general, are oblivious to this fact.
New to your channel. Watching old videos. I'm from USA and you should search and find out.
Thank you for watching Mildred! 🙂
💯 I'll look into this sometime 😀
Great story! I was also raised by my grandparents and only heard crazy stories about my dad, whom I never met.
Oh wow, you can relate to my story, I bet.
Were you ever curious to find out whom he was?
Yes, I was always curious but didn't know how to start the conversation
So eloquent and gorgy queen. You look more maasai than kyuk though. All the best!
Lol, thank you! 🙂
Interesting. Long search for dad. You will definitely come to know him.
I hope so!
Good job

Professor Muriuki then a history Prof at Nairobi university once said in 1980,s that 60% of the Nyeri people have Masai blood

You are right. The Kikuyu and Maasai were brothers and sisters from way back. My father’s mother was Maasai so I have Maasai blood
Ala, good to know ata wewe ni wa ngwace 😄
In-laws from around 16-17th century
all nyokabi and waweru in kikuyu land are half Cust names from maasai linage
Wokabis as well .... Kikuyu and Massai hv intermarried for generations. Almost every Kikuyu family has Maa blood down the line.
You are very brave.... You might be dehorned. Let me know when the dust settles 😂😂
Lol, dehorned by who, and why??
Girl we have so much in common we should actually meet and have conversations. Funnily enough I live in Kericho. I will look for you.

75% likelihood that he is/was Maasai. Especially if you mum was in Maasailand before she fled to Kericho
😅this is so funny. I have been saying something every several minutes..just had to delete some.
But it's very clear you are at least 85% Maasai
Kosengeng😂
Nyakacho was a good place to live then even now I think so
80% of kericho live there
😄😄
Oh so it wasn't a slum or poor neighborhood? I don't know where I got that perception from. Glad to know! Thanks.
@@EmmilyTiampati in future you might plan for a maiden visit to your birth hospital and Nyagacho too
Nyagacho used to be a surburb then, currently is more like Umoja or Huruma! High rise area!
