Rapper King Kaka, Nana Owiti opened up about her life in 2024 a year that has been as transformative as it has been challenging. The media personality shared her thoughts with candid honesty, touching on themes of resilience, faith, and personal growth.
Speaking with a mix of warmth, humor, and introspection, Nana described the past year as both the “most difficult and the best year” of her life. Navigating personal challenges while celebrating moments of triumph, she revealed how she’s finding her footing amidst change.
“We’re hanging in there, you know,” she admitted, reflecting the resilience needed to move forward in the face of adversity. For Nana, maintaining equilibrium is not about achieving perfect balance but rather making the best of every moment. “Balance is an illusion. The more you chase it, the more it evades you. So, I just always say, do the best you can whenever you can,” she explained.
Faith as a Cornerstone
Through her ups and downs, Nana credited her spiritual faith as the pillar that has kept her grounded. Her beliefs, she said, have given her clarity and grace, allowing her to navigate turbulent times with hope and gratitude. “Faith has provided me with so much stability and clarity. It’s like a light guiding me through,” she remarked.
As she embraces this new chapter, Nana expressed her gratitude for the support her faith has provided. She acknowledged that while life’s trials are inevitable, her spiritual foundation has made them easier to endure.
A Soundtrack for 2024
When asked to encapsulate 2024 in a single song, Nana confidently chose DJ Khaled’s hit, All I Do Is Win. The track’s uplifting and triumphant message resonated deeply with her, symbolizing her determination to celebrate victories—no matter how small amid adversity.
This sentiment of celebrating wins extended to her love for music. Nana shared her excitement about the Kenyan hit Anguka Nayo, a track that captured the nation’s spirit following the Junior Starlets’ victory over Mexico in the U-17 Women’s World Cup. Though she humorously admitted to lacking dance skills, Nana’s enthusiasm for the song and its success was unmistakable.
Social Media Fame: Blessing or Curse?
The year also brought Nana unexpected social media fame, though not under the circumstances she would have preferred. She joked about her brief stint as a trending topic in Kenya, playfully chastising her followers. “You guys made it viral for me,” she quipped. “I’ve never trended in Kenya, and I did for the wrong reasons. I don’t like it. You guys are bad!”
Despite the challenges of navigating life in the public eye, Nana’s humor and resilience shone through as she discussed the experience. Her playful demeanor hinted at a deep strength and a refusal to let negativity define her narrative.
Embracing the Journey
Looking back, Nana’s journey through 2024 has been anything but ordinary. With faith as her anchor and a steadfast determination to find joy amid life’s challenges, she has embraced both the highs and lows with grace.
For Nana, the year was a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience, gratitude, and self-belief. Her story is one of transformation, reflecting her ability to thrive even in uncertain times. As she looks ahead, she remains committed to celebrating life’s victories and cherishing the lessons learned along the way.
Her openness, faith, and unyielding spirit continue to inspire many, making her journey a testament to the power of perseverance and positivity.
