2021 REWIND: THE UPS, THE DOWNS AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNT THIS YEAR

Heh babes, si 2021 was an eventful year! We got up to so much as the SKY sistahood. Kuna days and weeks that were awesome and others were not so great. Lakini that’s life. And despite everything, we learned a lot along the way and that’s what matters, ama?

So we’re grateful to see 2021 come to an end, but before we wrap it up we wanted to do a ka-recap of the year as the SKY sistahood.

2021 win: I learnt who my real friends were and who the fake ones are. And I'm now focusing on the real ones and have let the toxic ones out of my life

2021 challenge: Pesa za airtime and bundles zilipunguka coz of COVID. I had to learn how to maintain my good friendships even without the ability kuongea all the time.

2021 lesson: Even though I don't have energy or motivation to complete something, just keep pushing ahead because in the end it's worth it. But I shouldn’t overwork myself because stress is never a good thing.
