Imari-Kenya is the minister of adorable advice! She might only be a kid, but this little girl has tons of wisdom (and humour) to share. From reminding us that our spirits are love to her recent advice, “take your pie and waai”, we might just be looking at SA’s next favourite motivational speaker:
South Africa (24 July 2024) — While we all grew up believing that kids should listen to their elders, the tables have certainly turned in the 2020s with more adults listening to their little ones thanks to a new generation of parenting and, of course, the internet. Ever had a child give you advice that somehow made more sense than any self-help book? Well, if you haven’t, Imari-Kenya—the kid who has warmed South African hearts everywhere with her adorable advice—is here to remind you that sometimes kids do know best.
Imari’s wise words (which often begin with her catchphrase “One thing about two things”) have reached millions of people on TikTok—many of whom have praised her for her wisdom, humour and sass in its most pure form and her creative confidence!
The minister of adorable advice has shared a lot of food for thought that often reminds us to always be ourselves, go with the flow, get our facts straight and to never let the ‘buggerness’ bug us.
Don’t Let the Buggerness Bug You
