She shared her message alongside photos that showed how far she has come.
“It’s the third slide for me 😔 I lost pieces of myself in that pain…But I found a stronger version of me on the other side. Survivor then, survivor now. As we close the 16 Days of Activism, I stand as proof that survival is strength,” she shared.
Njambi is a familiar face in the Kenyan entertainment scene. Her role on the popular comedy show made her a fan favourite.
16 days of activism
Her message comes as the world marks the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. The campaign runs every year from November 25 to December 10.
It starts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on Human Rights Day. The campaign aims to raise awareness, support survivors and push communities and governments to take action.

The theme for 2025 focuses on ending digital violence against women and girls. This reminds people that abuse does not only happen physically or at home.
Many women now face online bullying, threats, stalking and the sharing of private content without consent.
In Kenya, groups such as the National Gender and Equality Commission say many cases of violence still go unreported because survivors fear shame, judgment or lack access to help.
