A new chapter
The TV girl went on to reveal that, she reported to her new work place on her Birthday, thanking her friends and fans for the overwhelming love they have accorded her all along.
“It is indeed a good Friday. A new chapter begins today.
I am celebrating my birthday & it is my first day at my new work place. Friends, I can never forget your overwhelming love and messages of hope & encouragement you sent when everything looked dark.
It was and still is one of the toughest seasons I have been through since I came to this World...I have never shed tears like I did 2 months ago. I was at my weakest and apart from family, I encountered special friends who have become family.
You are all part of my testimony, many sent their prayers, others texted, called and prayed with me on the phone, others did it silently not forgetting the team of ninjas who always forwaded possible jobs to apply for....and lastly, those who took me for road trips to help distract me from my troubles. I now know I have friends I can count on” wrote Ms Barang’a.
