Njambi’s friend, former NRG radio host and digital content creator Natalie Githinji, also honored her memory by sharing a five-year-old photo on Instagram Stories with the caption, “I miss you,” accompanied by broken-heart emojis. Natalie and Njambi had bonded over their shared experiences with endometriosis, which created a deep and lasting friendship.

Njambi’s remarkable life was one of purpose and resilience. She was not just a reggae queen and media personality but also a tireless advocate for endometriosis awareness. Her openness about battling the disease helped break taboos and provided solace to countless women facing similar struggles.

Fans and friends joined Barbara in celebrating Njambi’s legacy, flooding her post with messages of love and admiration. “Happy heavenly birthday to Njambi. The world is a better place thanks to her impact,” wrote one fan, while another added, “Fyah Mummah was truly one in a million.”

Njambi passed away on June 3, 2024, and was laid to rest on June 14. At the time of her passing, she was undergoing treatment and had recently appealed for O+ blood donations.

Njambi battled endometriosis, a gynecological condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the womb, causing severe pain and complications. Despite undergoing numerous surgeries both locally and abroad, Njambi remained a beacon of hope and strength for others navigating similar challenges.

Her family, friends, and fans continue to honor her memory, cherishing the profound impact she had during her extraordinary life.
