Popular Kenyan actress and radio personality Wilbroda (Jacquelyn Nyaminde) has candidly opened up about the emotional toll she is experiencing after her son transitioned to boarding school.
This week, thousands of parents across the country escorted their children to Grade 10 senior schools, marking a major milestone in the Kenyan education calendar. While the moment is often filled with pride and hope, it can also come with unexpected emotional challenges for parents.
For Wilbroda, the reality of an "empty nest" set in almost immediately after she left the school gates. In a heartfelt social media post, she shared how returning home felt overwhelming, describing a space that was suddenly quiet and jarringly vacant.
The actress revealed that the absence of her son was deeply felt in the smallest details of daily life, underscoring how difficult it can be for parents to adjust when children take this important step toward independence. Her candid reflection resonated with many parents going through a similar transition, sparking conversations online about the often-unspoken emotional side of boarding school admissions.
