Bonfire Adventures Managing Director Sarah Mtalii, formerly known as Sarah Kabu, recently opened up about the emotional journey behind her new name and how her son has adapted to the family changes following her split from Simon Kabu.

In a heartfelt moment during an event organized by her Virtuous Women Foundation, Sarah broke down in tears as she explained the origin of the name "Mtalii," which holds deep significance for her.

A video shared online captured the emotional moment, showing Sarah pausing her speech, covering her face as she fought back tears, and receiving comfort from women in the audience who came to the stage to support her.

Sarah revealed that her son was the driving force behind her adopting the name "Mtalii."

She explained that after moving into their new home following the separation, her son gave every member of the family a new name, including her.

"The brand name Sarah Mtalii holds a special place in my heart and journey because my son inspired it," she said.

"Children have a unique way of staying inspired, even in the most challenging circumstances."

Sarah recalled how her son reacted when she told him he would now be the man of the house. Despite his young age, he accepted the change with maturity and grace.

"After we relocated to our new home, I told my son he would be the man of the house. I was amazed by how he embraced it. As a child, he observes and learns to navigate family changes," she shared.

Sarah further revealed that her son’s decision to give the family the name "Mtalii" was intentional.

"He christened me Sarah Mtalii because he did not want to hear the name Kabu again," she explained.

The businesswoman officially dropped the name Kabu as part of her efforts to move forward after parting ways with Simon Kabu, the father of her two children.
