According to the owner of em_boutiquebackup, who shared a video on Instagram, she built the business from pain, prayers, and empty stomachs.
"There were days I had nothing...no food, no strength… just faith. I sacrificed comfort, gave up my own needs just to keep the lights on. I watched others shine while I silently struggled, holding onto the hope that one day, my own time would come," said Em.
"Then she came in. I didn’t see her as a worker..I saw her as family. I shared my bread, my space, my secrets and told her about my stress, my fears, my tired heart and she would hug me and say everything would be fine," she added.

Did EM salvage anything for her business?
It turned out that the employee was the storm that Em was trying to survive, and the same hands she fed were the ones stealing from her. She would remove the EM tags from the clothes, then wear them or sell them. Her boss was puzzled as she would buy a lot of stock, but it would not move.
"The same mouth that prayed beside me was the one lying to my face. This is more than betrayal… but no problem, God will pay It’s the kind of pain that makes you question everything good you ever believed about people," she said.
" I went to her place with the police and was only able to recover KSh 51,000 and some clothes. But I will rise because even though she shook me, she didn’t break me and God is still with me," she said.
How did netizens react?

"When a girl steals 100 m diamonds at that Muslim woman shop, she doesn't mention Christian or her religion."
sally_d_ironlady:
"What you said is soo wrong, this has nothing to do with religion but upbringing."
baraqueencakes:
"This is so heartbreaking. She just spoiled chances for other very religious people that are really intentional. Now we don't know who is who. Sorry for your loss."

"Do not feed every hungry lion you meet, all they need is just to gather enough strength to bite you so hard. I experienced just a very similar case, but trust the process, you will surely bounce back stronger."
foodiecraves_cookery:
"See people leaving the real issues and attacking the victim for using the word religion. Over religious people should be feared, it’s not a new thing. We see them in our society everyday irrespective of being a Christian or a Muslim, they are always disappointing not because of anything but because people trusted them as much as their religion cos of the way they portray it."
