‘WHEN I WAS 17 AND IN FORM THREE I HAD A DENTAL APPOINTMENT AND A DATE LATER, SO I SHOWERED AND OFF I WENT.

KUFIKA RAILWAYS AS I WAS CROSSING THE ROAD TOWARDS AFYA CENTRE I WAS HIT BY A MATATU.IT DRAGGED ME UNDER IT,MY BLOUSE GOT HOOKED SO I WAS DRAGGED FOR A FEW INCHES.

I COULD SEE THE MATATU INCHES AWAY FROM CRUSHING MY FACE. IT WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AND IT CHANGED ME.’

‘MY LUNGS WERE CRUSHED,FOUR OF MY RIBS WERE BROKEN MY FACE WAS HALF SCARPED OFF,I BROKE MY BACK AND UP TO DATE I STILL HAVE BACK ISSUES.

AFTER BEING REMOVED UNDER THE MATATU,I COULD HEAR WOMEN SCREAM,THEY WERE SO EMOTIONAL AFTER SEEING MY STATE.

I WAS WHAT IF MY MUM SEES ME,WHAT WOULD SHE SAY IF SHE SAW ME?.
I WENT THROUGH 7/8 SURGERIES.

MY MUM WAS CALLED AND SHE CAME TO KNH AND AT THE TIME I WAS HEADING TO THE HDU. THAT TOUGHENED ME.’

Betty wanted to be a journalist as early as when she was 17, she started wondering if she could make it with the visible scars;

‘I WANTED TO BE A JOURNALIST BUT MY SCARS WERE SO VISIBLE. MOST OF THE SCARS ARE NO LONGER VISIBLE EXCEPT THIS ONE ON MY NECK.

IT REMINDS ME THAT GOD LOVES ME.’
