“I will not cover my arms to make you smile” Kalekye Mumo fires at trolls castigating her about blotches on her arms
Kalekye Mumo is suffering from a skin condition that causes spots all over her arms. The K24 presenter shared a photo showing her arms and trolls quickly started mocking her.
Kalekye suffer from a condition called psoriasis, the same condition that American Instagram goddess Kim Kardashian suffers from.
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that often comes and goes.[sic]
No shame
Kalekye doesn’t apply makeup to conceal the blotches on her arms. Kim Kardashian however applies makeup all over her body to hide the spots.
Critics started trolling Kalekye when she shared her photo on Instagram. They all said mean things about Kalekye without knowing she was suffering from psoriasis.
The K24 presenter however replied to her tormentors. She explained her condition and stated that she would never hide her arms just to please people.
“WAAAAAOO KENYANS…. so now my arms have hurt your entire existence… waooo did you forget, I DON’T DO LIFE TO PLEASE YOU!! But let me educate you… I have a skin condition which I’ve had since I was 3yrs old… it’s called psoriasis ASK @kimkardashian since she’s perfect and all… make up on arms and legs and all… I don’t have the money or time I AM WHO GOD MADE ME!! SOooo I will not cover my arms in the heat to make you smile coz guess what it’s a skin condition… the speeded growth of Skin… yours takes 28days to refresh mine 2-3days… which over works my system… Lucky I’ve not messed my organs which is highly likely… yes my skin could cause me fatal diseases as it has no permanent cure and can only be controlled…its highly conditioned by change in hormonal imbalance, stress, change in weather and anything that can prompt growth. So FORGIVE ME if I care less what you want to see or don’t… but at least before you write on my wall BE INFORMED!!” Wrote Kalekye Mumo.
