Kenyan photographer and TikToker Faustine Baba Talisha has addressed criticism over why he often disables comments on posts dedicated to his late wife, Mama Talisha.<\/p>\n
The response came shortly after he marked the fifth anniversary of her tragic passing in a heartfelt tribute that drew over 5,000 likes. The post featured a portrait of his late wife alongside the words:<\/p>\n
\u201c5 years ago today, on 15th August 2020, I lost the love of my life in a tragic road accident. Mama Talisha, your love still lives in our hearts, your smile still lights our memories, and your spirit shines through our daughter every day. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our souls. Until we meet again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In a series of Instagram Stories, Baba Talisha revealed his reason for restricting comments on such posts, saying it is to shield his wife\u2019s memory from negativity.<\/p>\n \u201cI turn off comments when I post my late wife because clowns don\u2019t deserve to speak on a queen\u2019s legacy,\u201d he wrote, calling out what he described as \u201ckeyboard warriors with zero crowns\u201d who try to belittle his grief.<\/p>\n He dismissed accusations of seeking attention, responding: For Baba Talisha, sharing his story is not about validation but about courage and connection.<\/p>\n \u201cThis isn\u2019t about clout or fame, it\u2019s about courage. If my story saves even one person from silent grief, then I\u2019ve done right. Too many men and women grieve in silence, and some lose the depression battle. If my story can give even one person hope to keep going, then her memory continues to live with purpose,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He also sent a pointed message to his critics: \u201cFunny how people with no scars are loudest about how survivors should heal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Baba Talisha has been open about his grief journey, including seeking therapy to cope with his loss. His willingness to speak publicly has resonated with many followers, who view his posts not as a bid for fame but as a genuine effort to honor his wife\u2019s memory while supporting others facing similar struggles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kenyan photographer and TikToker Faustine Baba Talisha has addressed criticism over why he often disables comments on posts dedicated to his late wife, Mama Talisha.

\u201cThey say I post for fame, but bro… heaven ain\u2019t a PR agency. If honoring Mama T looks like clout to you, may your turn teach you the difference. And when it\u2019s your turn, I\u2019ll hype your spouse too, deal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nCourage Over Clout<\/h3>\n
