“I have risen from the dead” – Sophie Ndaba on turning 50 this year
She turns 50 this year and she couldn’t be more grateful for the gift of life. She’s been living with diabetes for over 11 years.
She has been called names, mocked, and even declared dead a few times due to the health condition that shrunk her weight. But, the spiritual and grounded actress, radio personality, and businesswoman Sophie Ndaba (49) says being educated about her condition and her faith is keeping her afloat.
“My faith is keeping me grounded. It hasn’t been easy. But because I see results, I keep on keeping on,” she tells ZiMoja. “I have risen from the dead, as people said. I am strong, my mind and spirit are strong. I have my days of ups and down. But my focus is looking ahead, moving forward, and being excited about what is yet to come. Right now, I’m in the middle of my storm, which is not really a storm, but I can see the light.”
