Keri Hilson cries during presser at KICC

Singer Keri Hilson broke down into tears at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Thursday 2 after being asked how she dealt with depression.

A journalist asked her how she dealt with depression, something that made tears run down her face as she struggled with an answer.

“Learned to accept emotions as part of what makes one who they are,” said Keri Hilson.

“I had to take a break for a while to soul-search and find my happiness. That is exactly what I did, it took longer than I expected, but I am grateful that I found my way out.”

The singer, who is in Kenya for the Terminal Music Weekend and is set to perform on August 3, also shared that she’s just trying to be a role model to others who might be undergoing the same.

“I just want to be a voice and be a beacon of light to those who are going through mental disorders or mental health issues.” she said.
