Media personality Terry Anne Chebet's eldest daughter, Imani, is officially 18.

Taking to Instagram, Chebet shared a touching poem celebrating their journey of faith. She also reminisced about their adventures over the years, from Greece to local escapades.

💫A poem for Imani on her 18th Birthday. 💫 Your name, Imani,was an easy pick for us. And it has been a beautiful journey of faith through the years, it feels as though it were just yesterday we chose it, At the hospital, I held you, oh your perfect face! Dispelling all my fears, oh, how beautifully little you were! We’ve journeyed side by side, you and I, through highs and lows, beneath the sky. For some of the horrid mother moments, I must apologize, I was growing up too, and you bore the brunt of a mum not yet so ready Accept my gratitude for your unwavering faith in us ❤️

A roller coaster ride, our life has been, from Greece’s shores, to Gilgil’s chilly evenings and Grahamstown’s donkeys and potholes, memories we’ve woven, both big and small, Lost passports, camping in your school field, random lunches in quaint restaurants, or visiting high end homes to let it for sale that we could not afford, what a sport you are!!!

My darling, you’re a champ, through and through, Tough, smart, funny, with a sass that’s true. You’ve been my rock, my guiding light, In darkness, you’ve shone, so pure and bright. Through laughter and tears, you’ve held my hand, Together we’ve weathered life’s shifting sand.

As you turn eighteen, my heart swells with pride, For the woman you’ve become, the incredible sister you are to Talaa ❤️ With each passing day, you’ve grown and soared, With your brilliance, the world is better with you in it So spread your wings, my love, and take flight, Know that I’ll be here, your beacon in the night. For you, my dear daughter, the world’s at your feet, Embrace each moment, your journey’s so sweet. Happy 18th my darling! With love, Mama ❤️

"To our friends at Sol Generation Records and Sauti Sol, we extend our deepest gratitude for the role you've played in shaping Nviiri's journey thus far.

At the same time, Nviiri also introduced his new management team with Maisha Wirth as his immediate manager, Jamie Alderson as the international manager, and Indiya Oliver as the bookings manager.

Nviiri was signed by Sauti Sol’s owned record label in 2019.

In a past interview with Nairobi News, Bien revealed that Bensoul and Nviiri would leave Sauti Sol in 2024 and 2025, respectively, referring to them as Sauti Sol’s proteges.

“They still have time with our record label. They are our babies and we are working on their individual albums before the end of the year,” Bien then said.

The label head also disclosed plans to introduce new artists to the record label, following over three years of collaboration with Bensoul and Nviiri.

“It’s usually a journey to identify and decide who to sign. We have been working on our next signees for about two years. We go to their shows and a lot of other things. We don’t just pick anyone to sign”
