TikToker and photographer Faustine Lukale, popularly known as Baba Talisha, has issued a strong warning to anyone who might harm his daughter, Talisha. Speaking during the launch of Urban Wheels, he made it clear that any man who assaults his daughter would face fatal consequences, emphasizing his commitment to her safety.
Protective Father Speaks Out
During the event, Baba Talisha, who recently turned 30, discussed personal matters, including the loss of over 371 videos and professional projects due to a misplaced phone. The conversation then turned to Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a topic gaining increased attention. He stated that even if he were over 50 years old, anyone who harmed his daughter would face dire repercussions: “If you do that to my daughter, even if I would be 50 years old, wewe mwendo utakuwa umeumaliza [Your journey will be finished on earth],” he declared.
Influence of Upbringing on Protective Instincts
Baba Talisha explained that his stance is partly shaped by his upbringing in Western Kenya, where his father encouraged his sisters to return home if they faced difficulties in married life. This background, combined with his role as a father, informs his strong commitment to safeguarding Talisha.
Support for Public Action Against GBV
He praised a prominent parent for publicly intervening in a similar incident involving their child, highlighting that public action can serve as both a deterrent and a demonstration of responsible parenting. Baba Talisha emphasized that GBV affects families across all social and financial backgrounds.
Addressing Online Scrutiny
The creator also touched on online bullying, noting that Talisha occasionally experiences harassment on social media. He attributes this to personal insecurities of those responsible and chooses to avoid engaging with online trolls, focusing instead on the well-being of his family.
Message of Awareness and Protection
Through his remarks, Baba Talisha underscored the importance of standing against GBV, promoting resilience, and safeguarding children both online and offline. His warning serves as a reminder to communities about the need for vigilance, accountability, and immediate action to protect children from harm.
