She is such a strong lady. I was raised by my mum's sister and that woman and her children were God sent, I even forgot I was an orphan 😂😂😂😂. The love, the care I remember in high school I used to have extra shopping new uniforms every term and my school fees was paid per year in advance. Though she passed on I still feel the love from my cousins, I really thank God for them.

Stop making orphans maids after their parents die. If you can't be a shoulder for them to lean on? Let them go!

Today I just came across this story &it took me back 😭 to my painful past.. growing up as an orphan then a man just shows up during my wedding preparations as my"dad"...married for over 10 yrs called barren...worked as a housemaid at the age of 8 till now... it's not easy but this didn't stop me from going back to school coz I dropped at class 4&did my KCPE&KCSE as an adult...now blessed with a a beautiful baby girl.. separated from a naccisist husband..re_building myself...one day I'll sit on that couch to inspire global..God is faithful..AM A FEARLESS WOMAN WITH A DIFFERENT STORY AM VUGUTZA THE BLACK QUEEN.

Better living wth a poor parent than rich relatives 😢😢😢

I live with my late sister's son and may God help me to give him all the love he needs,..will never be mean to him.. he will always be my first son.

& because of this interview I am going to be helping a young lady who has 2 small girls & she's suffering a lot raising them.

Kulelewa na relatives imefanya everyday, I ask God to add me years ndio nilee watoi wangu🙏🙏

Just because you carry it so well doesn't mean it's not heavy😢 Lydia you are a strong woman❤

I don't why it's so hard for people to understand that kids shouldn't be treated in a bad way coz they don't choose to be born as "unwanted" I wish people would get to understand this simple concept. No child is unwanted and every child is a gift from God and some hold destinies for those who mistreat them like we always see from the story of Joseph in the bible. Hugs momma❤❤ Team LNN, good morning 🌄

Just because you see somebody smiles and carrys on doesn't mean it's easy guys 😢😢 People are really carrying heavy heart out here but they've chose to be happy 😊 😃

I like the way Lynn makes her guests feel free and confident, she's a good listener and very attentive. .Hi five Lydia ✋

She's so real and authentic . All my love goes to her . We never know someone until you sit with them . May she keep winning.

This is me in my own family. 13 yrs moving on strongly. No grudge but can never associate I love my longest journey of child trauma and self me, my kids and the world ❤

That line...'you owe no one a thank you!' Only orphans and those who were raised up by well-wishers understand the depth of this statement!

Finished high school with lyd. I'm soo proud of her God is truly faithful. She's a testimony ❤

Let her know that she is loved and appreciated ❤

Psalm 121 is my portion from the time I was young. I was also unwanted child in my family. Getting married to a family, who also rejected me so much also. I understand lidya's story well. In time's of problems, i could only look to God for help and no relatives. I thank God, He is the only friend who can never leave you. He is the only present help in sometimes of trouble's. People with great destinies go through so much in life... Lydia receive hugs from us. We love you so much, and Jesus Christ love's you so much ooh. Funny enough I'm Wanjiru, I also don't know my right birthday, I had to cook the date's birth for me to get a messenger Job in NCCK

Lydia you're so real! You will do great! My favorite part of this story is your high school teacher turned mom (Lois). May God bless her left and right. May her children always find help whenever they need it. I grew up as the scapegoat in a narcissistic family dynamic, the black sheep, unloved by single mom. But the joy of the Lord is my strength.

There are toxic relatives out here. I went through a lot back in 2020 because of these people called Uncle and Aunt. I thank God I am a live today and peaceful. People should normalize talking about it, and SAYING NO TO THEM IS NOT A CRIME because peace of mind is our health! THANK YOU LYNN FOR WHAT YOU DO.

"The people we owe a thank you can be a point of trauma for you" This here!!!!!is something that pricks me deeper than words can explain,I know this so well. And I chose my son and I and I'll do it over and over again. Peace matters

I love the part when Lynn says "you can start from talking from where you are comfortable" Lynn i love your interviewing skills so respectful of your clients

Growing up as an orphan is not an easy thing😭😭😭The trauma and everything you go through sometimes you even question yourself if God really exist. May God continue strengthening all orphans.

Why always people have that mindset that kids without parents are supposed to be treated like nothing yet they know nothing about what the future has for them may blessings follow you Lydia and i like what you said that "you forgave them but let the distance be maintained "

I love her content on tiktok. I'm just saddened by what people do to others and what she went through in the hands of those who should have loved and protected her.😢

The lawyer who was on the previous show was so hard/ insensitive to her. The lawyer needs to know that there is a reason why people make such choices in their lives. She should have be more empathetic and sympathetic with hers You are a winner my dear!!❤

Her face is faceing❤❤ she is a real queen❤

And the way this girl is always happy on tiktok love her stories

I just love Lydia so much. She's real and truthful to herself. She's truly destined for greatness. Lydia your great days are still ahead❤

I could write a whole book about my life. I feel her pain too, am also the black sheep of my family, since am way of age, no husband, no kids, nothing to show for any of what others have. I gave my life to Christ and He kees reminding me to be still. He will use mg life as a manual for them to read. He is still working on me and molding me. My time is coming

Sobbed for Lydia😢, being so vulnerable as a child and adults disappointing her. I never take for granted to grow around good, well-mannered and honorable men-uncles and dad. They expected me to have great accomplishments and they never made me feel less as a woman. This kind is rare ❤

I don't understand Swahili but I still got the message. She had a rough childhood but it's not where you started but where you end. I'm very impressed of the young lady she became. Kudos to her❤

Shame on all the relatives who mistreated her. See her life now. There is a God in heaven.

I honestly love Lydia, she is such a vibe. You are so strong and have beaten many odds, so much respect for you.

I want Lydia to start her own channel. I can listen to her talking forever ❤

Am Lydia's fun kwa tiktok ans av never thought that behind this beautiful face and soul we see on our screens has gone through so much in her younger self era. May you shine and those who never wanted to associate with you will start looking for you.

Woi I met another one today from Mathare so she was very free with me at the first sight and she shared alot with me....she is a vulnerable orphan who really needs help... stopped school last year after scoring 373 MKS from her kcpe...she even got married and she miscarried because her weight couldn't hold it😢 she is too young for marriage...but she kept on reminding me that she has no one to run to....

Lydia was my manager in a town restaurant back in 2019,a great lady, this made me cry, a strong lady she is

One of the very first tiktok accounts I ever followed. She kept me sane during vovid pandemic. Very intelligent and full of humor, truth and life. I didn't know she was carrying a best seller for a story. Girl, you have moved me. There is a verse that says, they overcame by the power of their testimonies. Shine! We are right behind you. Ps Your skin has always baffled me. So beautiful and always glowing.

This thing of being unwanted child happened to my father when he remembers even today he cries a lot but were a in journey of shining to encourage him. I think many children who are shining are such children. Be blessed

Hugs to Lydia my fellow orphan. Watching this episode took me back to my childhood. Toxicity from relatives n friends is real. If you can't take care of orphans just let them go rather than give them traumas coz loosing parents is already so painful for them. The building and rebuilding journey is difficult but not impossible. Lydia you're going far.

Traumatized kids need a biiiiiig hug. Watching this channel reminds me am not alone. It was never easy to put up with all the distress and trauma growing up. Who knew when one grows up instead of forgetting the pain , it becomes a thorn in the flesh and triggers keep one reliving the pain every time they happen. Thanks @Lynn for putting this together.

Her brother will be found in Jesus's name,especially after this LNN Show. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Story lydia imenijenga... personally i face rejection after my mum separated,later mom died ....i have faced it rough aki...God is great

I noticed her beauty and strength. Thank you Lydia for reminding me that I got no excuse. I need to unlearn and intentional relearn.

Behind a powerful and successful woman there's is a story that motivated them to be better .

Hawa na aunt and uncles huwa wanasahau kwamba ipo siku tutakuwa watu wazima 😢😢😢😢they are so rude but Mungu ni nani hubariki sana hawa watoto

Am so fond of Lydia coz she is so authentic I love her content and am so sorry for what you've gone through but who is God look at you, you're glowing and prosperity ❤

When you dont have parents, you are on your own... Though kuna good relatives ,but they will never be the same as your mother

God bless those teachers who step in as parents....

I have been through everything Lydia has been through. We are the strongest people and destined for greatness

She's so amazing. All the best Lydia in all your endeavors.

Me as an orphan i know how it feels, i pray so to God to keep me alive for my son to see him as grown up man

I'm glad to see her again in this show.I just like her 💙she's such a VIBE!

This talk has taught me how to deal with toxic relatives.Thanks Lydia

May God continue blessing you Lydia. Your story is so similar to my story, I FEEL you. I have struggled so much to reconcile this childhood trauma with all my current achievements and somehow I always come up short!! Why? B’se I’ve never had the courage to share it with anyone like you have. You are the voice of the voiceless!! God bless you again!! And to Lynn, you are a blessing!! Thank you for the work you are doing. Thank you!!

What a an intellectual lady. Yes, school is important because we have to be learned but educated people like Lydia are not that common in the current world. The knowledge, attitude, values and skills she has are taking her places. The sky is the limit and the so called graduates will be part of her staff. TRUST ME, SHE IS A CHILD OF GOD. As adults we need to make conscious decisions on who and what we choose to associate with. Toxic relationships are the number one cause of negative mental health. So I agree with you 100 % that those relatives should maintain a reasonable distance from you and be steadfast with that. Keep on holding to God and "throw your anxiety on him because he CARES for you" - 1 Peter 5:7 Thanks Lynn once again :)

I never understand why relatives makes it soo hard to just help with no issues U agree to help just help This gal is brave My take away home is "I don't owe anyone a thank you"tats deep ,not many people will understand that May God continue blessing this beautiful gal

Now I understand why this brilliant star pulls one fst in her relationships as she put it in other engagements in the same LLN channel. The act of being defensive, careful n self preservation acts in relationships is always more sensitized by previous life experiences that sometimes we don't choose. She's an embodiment of excellence. Epitome of inspiration

Lydia and I were in the same highschool and I'm so happy when I see her winning.

Strange how Kenyans and South Africans look alike physically. I'm so sorry for what happened to u. I had to cut off my family

I just love her skin when am listening to her videos thats the first thing i notice...pole for her indeed everyone has a storo na hakai

Lydia you are not alone...all the best. You are who you are because of your past...you are a vibe and nothing should ever stop you. You are beautiful inside out.

The things we passed through after losing both our parents in the hands of relatives..... I will never have kids.

Child trauma no one can delete it in people's minds because it has recorded itself, only Christ Jesus can heal our past wounds and I thank God Almighty for helping us all who has been through rough and tough times to be able to face what is ahead of us hug Lydia we are many but the Grace of God Almighty will help us always shalom

I have to realise that before you judge someone for maybe the things they do all say. Learn to listen them to understand. Lydia I have known you for sometime through tiktok and I love you mamaa ❤❤

Yani i know this girl from tiktok, but I didn't know she has such a story. Very inspired. But nimemchekelea vile alikimbizwa na nduthi 😂

Sad how people mistreat other people's kids inthe name of supporting them😢as if they've paid anything special to have an opportunity to raise their own... anyway...God cares ... we're proud of whom you have become girl.the sky ain't the limit.keep going. A challenge to everyone of us,strive to be better humans. One day I asked someone why they were so kind to some kids who had lost their parents,her response sunk deep,she said she has always strived to be better cos she knows if one day she died and God allowed them to see how their kids were being treated here on earth, they'd only want to see them treated kindly. I feel it's a worth challenge

So true no one talks about orphans and their pain. Well done Lynn and Lydia. U r both a blessing

What a story! May God enlarge your territory Lydia❤

People who mistreat kids ni nini mbaya na nyinyi aki It's disgusting to know that an adult can be so mean to vulnerable children. Deeply sorry Lydia..

Oh Lydia is here 👏👏 I'm here to listen to her toxic relatives can really drain you

She's a vibe I tell you. I just love her positive attitude. Her story is similar to my late mother whom I wish she went through therapy coz her story really affected her. It's true Lydia therapy is important. ❤

I had my parents and never enjoyed luxury....My childhood was characterised by hard labour... I thank God, this is what has made me strong today... Shopping was soap, Colgate a small tube, pads, two tissue papers, Vaseline, small kiwi and pens.... My head was clean every term...

She is a queen.the relatives could see it wanted to drag but God failed them❤❤

Lydia is authentic, beautiful and honest. Just like you Lynn, this girl is real genuine and a wife material. Lynn and Lydia keep the fire burning. Whatever you go through in your life's journey is a lesson learned not a cause to give up. I affirm the two of you 100% and pray that if its your wish to get married, may God direct you to the right partners in Jesus name.

Thanks so much Lynn for bringing this wonderful lady. Lydia is really great. I love her courage to handle challenges. She's just a vibe.

I'm halfway and this is so emotional😭😭. Why do people treat kids without parents this way. It's better not to claim guardianship if you know you are going to ensalve them.

I have alot to relate with Lydiah's story,but i thank God for the relatives from my mum's side. No riches but the kindness and support they showed me was overwhelming since i was 3yrs. To my dad's side," i owe you nothing, let's keep the distance"

I can relate very well. The mistreatment i got when my mum died from my aunt was unbearable. I was the house girl to his kids and i would be reminded everyday that I would amount to nothing.

Hugs gal ❤ Proud of you, Lydia What an emotional and painful story... amazing how you are conquering it all. 👌

Why am I crying even before I hear the whole story..hugs girl, you are going far

I now understand Lydia! Just like my mother, as her name is also Lydia, she has the fortitude to live and enjoy life. Long live Lydia! ❤❤❤

Lydia's story is so sad and inspiring.....besides the challenges she never gave up and true she is destined for greater good love her narration.Move on and let God do His wonders

Went to the same primary school. Lydia you are such a strong girl 💪

If resilience was a person, am proud of you Lydia. Forward ever, backward never.

Relatives God. After 17yrs of my mother’s death, I looked for but now am giving up on them again unapologetically. But Lydia your blessed coz God is the holder of DESTINIES, penda wewe sana Gal ❤❤❤. Uko Mtrue Vibaya

Thank you for this story. As a Zimbabwean I only managed to understand about 70% of the story though I could pick us some few Swahili words I learn from my Kenyan friends. I wish I could understand more but by watching your videos Lynn I'm sure I will be speaking and understanding Swahili very soon😊. Wish Lydia all the best in her life. Thanks for bringing us authentic stories Lynn. God bless you 🙏.

I can relate with some things that relatives do. We thank God for Lydia...she has encouraged herself every day and has achieved a lot.

I love this lady...have learnt to stand for myself. I love your spirit, I love your energy ♥️♥️♥️♥️ ....Lyn you are doing great work too👏👏👏

If it is me, i would say thank you to my grandma. She gave you a roof, food and paid your school fees. Infact i wouldn't even bring up the past. Even Joseph in the Bible embraced his family after they betrayed him. May we receive wisdom to resist bitterness before our loved ones die and we regret never making that peace. Shalom x

"The people we owe a thank you can be a point of trauma for you" that's the theme of this ground breaking story and most of us reckon with such a statement

Wow Lydia is definitely a fighter and has overcome so many odds. Thanks Lynn for bringing her. Please post the link of the video referred to in the interview 🙏🏼 ❤👏👏👏👏👍👌

I knew you from maili sita, i saw you here you looked so familiar but sikumbuki kwenu exactly, you went through hell but God alikuonekania.. Maybe we met at St Micheal's catholic.. Am glad you in this space, may God continue showering you with his grace and love uishi sana..

The love I have for this girl ooh my .. no problem is permanent 🙏I wish one day I will have a safe space to also to open up , someone who will not judge me ...our future is brighter

I can now relate why she was bitter about men and saying she can stay single and it's ok something that's very dangerous especially as one gets older.. she had childhood traumas and she needs to heal...wish her all the best to overcome all she went through

Lydia is right cut ties and work on yourself to be able to move forward without carrying the pain of the past. Gods continued blessing to you both.

I used to come from school nikuwa kmtc napata my aunt amemwanga nguo zangu chini akiangalia kama kuna kitu nilichukua and many more things, I don't hate them but love them from a distance..i have seen God in my life n Lydia you are going far

Listening to her express her pain has reminded me of the pain I went and still going through in the hands of so called relatives. Sometimes making a small mistake Kama kulima part kidogo juu umechoka they be like ukona mang'aa na unaishi hapa juu tunaogopa Mungu. I'm like are orphans still humans ama ni aliens from another world. I think if one is not willing to take full responsibility of the orphan then they should not accept them in their homes coz it's better to be mistreated in the hands of a stranger than to your own. I hope I heal with time,, sending love and hugs to orphans out there,,it shall be well one day.

You can't hate this girl... she's a Vibe.
