Digital content creator and brand influencer Tracy Waithera has penned a lengthy open letter addressing her recent hair change and the silent struggles she has been battling.

The hilarious TikToker last week stunned her fans and followers by posting photos of herself completely bald. 

A look that came as a surprise to most as she had lustrous black hair. It could also be noted that she had lost an incredible amount of weight.

Captioning a video montage she posted of her old self Tracy went on to write;

"Of course, I am Teresia Waithera Wanjiru. I change; I don’t stay the same. Here I was, thick, depressed, and anxious. Drinking to numb my inner child, who wanted to heal due to childhood traumas, Eating food emotionally, lack of boundaries, and disrespect to self in different situations.

I was people-pleasing, I was helping as usual but not helping myself. Caring but caring for people more than me, here I knew God but I wasn’t in a relationship with him,"

She went on to add that she had put all her energy into content creation to distract herself and have something to do as things were weighing heavily on her.

"Black Tax was draining me, I didn’t communicate I would do anything to save the world. You know doing God’s work!!! I believed in my work, and my strength, and I would create content to just create!!! You know, being a busybody means you always want to be doing something. I’m learning that being busy is not productive. Bond by Law I didn’t know Grace that you can be still and that God supplies your needs.

It’s wild, but it still shocks me how God is faithful and how when you work, God rests, and when he works, you rest! I was suffering from insomnia. I would sleep for 3 or 2 hours, then start the cycle again and again. Oh, don’t we have sickening cycles? I was suffering from unforgiveness when I met Jesus, who just did everything for me!! And I was able to rekindle the inner child by resting in him and knowing God more!! I once asked myself: do I post content I would be proud of for years to come, or would my future kids be happy with the kind of content I have been creating?? I listen to my previous videos weuh!! lacking knowledge.

Your belief system is formed with lies you’ve told yourself and you’ve been told by society, and you’ve identified yourself with them!!! Nie ma changing my mind and my thought pattern from negative to positive, adding good things to my body ,taking care of my body, mind, soul, and spirit, and believing that I could lose weight, and I did it!!

Finding Jesus made me find me!! Oh God, I lack words!!! Have I mentioned the Back pains?? Lord have mercy my boobs were so big that I was T for TIRED!!!! 🥱I was so heavy!! My heart too I had to let Go! When I talk about letting Go I mean everything Unforgiveness, Anger issues, bitterness, jealousy ,envy, complaining, pity parties and many others! I love you Jesus.🤍," the last of her post read.
