A video of a Kenyan woman identified as Sharon Njeri, also known as Shadodo, has been widely shared online, leaving many heartbroken. The late Sharon was the wife of Kenyan DJ Brownskin Fullu Fullu.
In the video, Sharon takes an alleged poisonous substance as the man, alleged to be her husband, psyches her on. After taking the substance, Sharon throws the empty bottle at him and walks as if she is leaving the room, only to return and lie on a seat in the same room.
She rests briefly, wakes up, and sits on the same seat facing the house floor. “I’m done. Tell my kids and people I love them,” Brownskin’s wife mumbles in the video. The entire time the man recording the video is comfortably seated and does nothing to save her life.
At some point, he asks the house help to bring some milk but doesn’t bother to help her. Then, the alleged poisonous substance took a toll on her, and she succumbed. She died on July 29, 2022.
The video has sparked outrage and has raised questions about mental health and domestic violence. It is crucial to highlight the importance of mental health awareness in Kenya and the world.

Mental health problems are common and can affect anyone at any time. According to the World Health Organization, one in four people will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point.
Domestic violence is also a significant contributor to mental health problems. It is important to recognize the signs of domestic violence and seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing it. The Kenya Red Cross toll-free hotline, 1199, is available to provide support.
It is essential to seek help when experiencing any mental health issues. Several resources include mental health professionals, support groups, and helplines. It is crucial to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around mental health issues to ensure that people seek help when needed.
