You still are something to behold. I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see how you change this world. I love you.

-Mommy❤️," read Rubadiri's letter to her daughter.

Victoria Rubadiri talks about being single mom

Previously, TUKO.co.ke reported that the riveting news anchor shared with Kenyans a snippet of her journey, which painted her as a hardworking and loving mum who has been depending on God's grace and hard work to thrive.

In an interview with Patience, Nyange, she thanked God for seeing her through school and eventually blessing her with her job in the midst of tough circumstances. According to Victoria, finishing university and landing a job with the issues she was dealing with was a pure miracle.

Through the interview, Victoria noted that she finished campus and started working while a single mother. The journalist thanked God for favouring her and seeing her through all the way to where she is currently. '

"As an overcomer. Statistically, I’m not supposed to be where I am today or achieve what I have so far. Starting my career several steps back as a young, single mother, finishing university was a miracle in itself. I never set out to be the poster child of what a single mother can achieve, but I’m grateful for the platform God has granted me to show nothing is impossible,'' Victoria told Patience.

Her revelation moved many people who shared her story on social media, with quite a number noting she had inspired them and many others.
