Content creator Sheryl Gabriella has opened up about the heartbreaking details of her early childhood and family.

They were separated from the other family members after a family disagreement led to them going their separate ways.

Sheryl being raised by single mum

Sheryl spoke fondly of her mother when asked about her during an interview with Brian Mutinda, popularly known as Commentator254.

"First of all, she is the reason I am the strong lady I am today. My mum has passed through a lot because starting a new life after my family broke apart was difficult. Starting a fresh life in Bomet was a struggle because my mum did not have a job or source of income.

So she started working as a household in people's houses to provide for us and sell second-hand clothes. Seeing her struggle to raise us, take care of us and educate us has made me see one can be a successful single mum," the single mother of one said.

Sheryl's relationship with mum

She said her mum's struggles and success inspired her as a single mother, too, as she had a reference point to draw strength from.

"My mum and I are besties. I tell her everything, including who I am dating. Whoever I date must meet my mum so that she can assess the person and tell me whether I am in trouble or in good hands," she said laughingly.
