Digital content creator Anita Nderu Raftery is facing a common yet relatable hurdle in parenthood: encouraging her almost 2-year-old daughter, Kaya, to use her own toothbrush.

While Kaya is receptive to brushing her teeth, she has a strong preference for using her mother’s toothbrush. Anita humorously shared this challenge on her Instagram stories, seeking advice from fellow parents on how to transition Kaya to her own kid-friendly brush.

“Guys so Kaya is at that age where we have started teaching her how to brush her teeth. The only problem is she will only use my toothbrush, like she completely refuses to use her and only wants mommy’s.

I’ve tried to make her stop but that is the only way that she will brush her teeth like she just wants to use my toothbrush and I don’t know what to do.

“Look at this brush, God knows what that is and where her little hands have been. But I still let her use it because that’s all she’ll do. So I let her use it then just clean it using toothpaste,” shared Anita Nderu.

The post included a lighthearted image of Anita’s toothbrush, playfully highlighting the “battle scars” of Kaya’s enthusiastic brushing. Anita emphasized her commitment to maintaining hygiene, explaining that she thoroughly cleans the toothbrush after Kaya uses it.

This instance highlights the unique challenges and compromises that parents face while instilling good habits in their children. Anita’s open and relatable approach resonates with many parents navigating similar situations, fostering a sense of community and shared experience.

Digital content creator and media personality Anita Nderu Raftery recently disclosed that she shares a toothbrush with her nearly 2-year-old toddler.

In her Instagram stories, the former Teen Republic host elaborated on her daughter Kaya’s current phase of learning basic hygiene. According to Anita, Kaya is willing to brush her teeth after meals, but there’s a catch—she insists on using her mommy’s toothbrush, deeming her own not cool enough.

Anita expressed her first-time mom struggles, seeking advice from others who might have experienced this phase and asking for suggestions on how to transition Kaya to using her own kiddie brush.

She shared a photo of her toothbrush, which was visibly dirtied on the handle from Kaya’s smudgy fingers, lamenting the invasion of her privacy by her daughter.

“Guys, so Kaya is at that age where we have started teaching her how to brush her teeth. The only problem is she will only use my toothbrush, like she completely refuses to use hers and only wants mommy’s. I’ve tried to make her stop, but that is the only way that she will brush her teeth, like she just wants to use my toothbrush, and I don’t know what to do,” Anita shared.

She further posted a photo of her soiled white toothbrush with food stains, emphasizing her current motherhood struggle.

“Look at this brush, God knows what that is and where her little hands have been. But I still let her use it because that’s all she’ll do. So I let her use it then just clean it using toothpaste,” Anita Nderu shared.

This revelation comes shortly after Diana Marua and Kelvin ‘Bahati’ Kioko posted a video showcasing them sharing a toothbrush. In the video, Diana playfully grabbed Bahati’s toothbrush while he was brushing his teeth, and they continued to share the same brush, adding an element of humor and playfulness to their routine.

As 2023 draws to a close, digital content creator and media personality Anita Nderu is basking in the glow of a truly remarkable year. Sharing her joy with her followers on Instagram, she declared it to be the best year of her life, surpassed only by the experiences of becoming a wife and mother.

Currently in South Africa for the “Hey Neighbor Festival” hosted by Netflix, Anita exuded pure happiness as she danced to Swedish House Mafia’s “Don’t You Worry Child,” clad in an all-black outfit. Her infectious enthusiasm was palpable through the video, conveying the immense joy she was experiencing.

In her heartfelt caption, Anita reflected on the abundance of blessings that defined her year. “What a time! I have experienced the most phenomenal everything!” she exclaimed.

Work, in particular, proved to be even more fulfilling than she could have imagined. Collaborating with brands she truly admired brought immense satisfaction and appreciation.

“The brands I LOVE and I have had the pleasure to work with, have done the most and I couldn’t be more grateful! Gosh! What a YEAR!!!!” she expressed, her gratitude beaming through her words.

Anita also emphasized the valuable lesson she learned this year: “It’s not no, it’s not yet.” This powerful message embodies her optimistic outlook and unwavering belief in the potential for future growth and success.

Previously, Anita had shared a glimpse into her experience at the festival, showcasing photos, interviews, and her participation in the exciting activities. The highlight, however, was witnessing the live performance of Sauti Sol, a missed opportunity she deeply regretted at their last SolFest event.

This year has been a testament to Anita’s resilience, positivity, and unwavering faith. As she steps into the next chapter, she carries with her the joy of a year filled with love, success, and invaluable life lessons. Her story serves as an inspiration to others, reminding them that even amidst challenges, there is always room for immense joy and gratitude.

Love frequently surprises us when we least expect it. Anita Nderu, a Kenyan media celebrity, and Barrett Raftery experienced this, and they are now married. Their touching love story, which began as common acquaintances and unanticipated events, is one of the most admired celebrity pairings online.

In a recent interview with Stephanie Ng’ang’a, the former ‘The Trend’ host recounted details of how she and her knight in shining armor met, something that, in her words, happened at such an unexpected period in her life.

The media personality’s path to love started with the encouragement of her close friends. Anita found comfort in her connections while going through the challenging process of recovering from a breakup depending on them for support and understanding. As luck would have it, she and Raftery crossed paths thanks to common acquaintances who were in a similar situation. They were drawn together in a vulnerable moment by a common experience of heartache, which served as the foundation for something lovely.

“We were introduced by mutual friends. One of my best friends is married to one of Barrett’s best friends and we were both going through breakups and as would be the case, you’re deeply complaining to your friends and then there was this day when my friend was leaving the house and she was just like, I wanna introduce you to someone. And to be very honest, at the moment I was just like at this point what do I have to lose. I had really lost hope in anything Nairobi had to offer. Later on, I find myself in a WhatsApp group and my friend has put us all there and she’s just like hey you guys are unlucky in love, get to know each other, and just be friends,”

Raftery, on the other hand, wasn’t drawn to Anita at first because of grand gestures or overt professions of adoration. Instead, her natural kindness won his heart from the beginning. In every conversation, Anita’s sincere kindness and compassion shined through, making a lasting effect on Barrett. Anita’s close attention and insightful responses to their chats were characteristics that demonstrated her genuine kindness. Barrett realized he had found something wonderful in these moments.

“Anita is most likely the kindest person I’ve ever met and I think from the very beginning of our conversations, both in the way she listens and the way she reacts to things, it displays that kindness,”

Anita and Raftery’s relationship developed from being just acquaintances to something more important as their connection grew stronger. Their love story began to develop on the WhatsApp group, which was created to unite like-minded individuals who had each had their fair share of romantic setbacks. Even though it may have been started with humor in mind, Anita and Raftery’s relationship deepened as a result of the group.

Celebrated media personality Anita Nderu has penned a sweet message to celebrate her heartthrob mzungu hubby as he turned a year older.

Taking to her Instagram, Anita poured her heart out at Barret Raftery in a detailed post;

”My Hubby is a year older today❤️
Another year has gone by and life continues to be the greatest adventure with you❤️ You have taught me the importance of being present in every moment because life with you Sugar Bun is a series of loving and meaningful moments. That keep me smiling long after they took place????…”

Anita continued to gush over him for being an awesome husband;

”I love being your wife and being in your life, I love watching you grow as a man, as my husband and best of all has been watching you grow as a Father. You are so great with your little twin Kaya!

Kenyan media personality Anita Nderu is celebrating her 31st birthday. One of the few notable people that attended her birthday party was allegedly her new bae. Being a lesbian, we would not expect Anita to be having a moment of intimacy with the man.

However, it seems like Anita is not waiting for a second invitation to change from being a lesbian. She posted a photo of her kissing the mzungu but later on deleted it.

The 31 year old celebrated her birthday alongside her friends, who she says surprised her with the party.

”These guys even had a fish and chips station! My favorite meal! Then customised everything to celebrate my birthday and 10 year anniversary in the media industry.

To all my friends who showed up and showed out, I love you more than words can explain. Thank you for all the presents, thank you for loving me the way you do.

31 will be lovely. Gratitude is all I feel.”

Without a doubt, 31 doesn’t look bad on Anita. She is among the hottest Kenyan ladies. Her dressing code and conspicuous curvy physique are among the few features to admire about her.

One big question however is, has she really changed from being a lesbian?

Mental health is still a taboo topic for many, most people usually associate mental health disorder with insanity and as such would rather not talk about it.

Depression is a mental health disorder which most people experience once in a while. It causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and if not managed can lead someone to even commit suicide.

Several celebrities have committed suicide because of depression. The death of Hollywood actor Robin Williams in 2014 was a wake up call for many across the world.

Anita’s battle with depression

Anita Nderu opened up about struggling with depression for five long months. The Capital FM presenter revealed that she battled the mood disorder in 2018.

She took to social media to narrate how she slid into depression;

“Let me do one of those 2018 posts? This year has been tumultuous for me, I battled depression for 5 months and fortunately pulled through. However it has had more ups than downs and I remain grateful for that.
Just like most people, I lost and made friends, fell in and out of love, dissapointed people, made people happy, called my Mum not often enough, didn’t achieve all my 2018 vision board plans but accepted what is mine will come to pass and moved on, moved from Whisky to Gin, made difficult decisions that kept me up late at night, made tones of mistakes, made fantastic decisions too, learnt the subtle art of not giving a fuck, read other amazing books, made promises that I forgot to keep, fortunately kept most promises, continued to forgive and forget, made my Dad happy, worked with AMAZING brands that I have always wanted to be a part of, H&M posted my picture on their website, did not move *rolls eyes* yet again but I must when I am back in the country and cried more than I have ever cried ever! @enews still hasn’t called me and other short stories?“
