Viral Gen-Z lady lands job after emotional farewell message. A Kenyan property company is searching for a young woman known on TikTok as Kabei, whose emotional farewell video ahead of the June 25 protests moved thousands across the country. In the viral clip, she opened up about the struggles many educated youths face in Kenya—pouring out her heartbreak over years of hard work, only to remain jobless and hopeless.
“This is the last thing I want to say before I die tomorrow. They told us to go to school because education is the key to success. We sat in classes with no windows. We studied in torn uniforms and on empty stomachs. Believed them, and our parents believed them too. They gave everything—sold cows, missed meals, broke their backs—just to see us wear that graduation gown. And years later, here I am: graduated, jobless, hopeless,” she said in part of her video.
Her message sparked an emotional wave online, with many Kenyans relating deeply to her words. The farewell was not just a cry for help, but a reflection of the wider crisis affecting young people across the country—especially graduates who find themselves unemployed despite years of sacrifice.
