A Birthday Detox
Unathi explained in her post that she had chosen to disconnect from social media as a personal gift for her birthday.
“I’m only posting now because, as a birthday gift to myself, I switched off ALL social media for six weeks. The years I’ve enjoyed on earth in my 4th decade,” she wrote, emphasizing the importance of self-care and introspection during her milestone celebration.
Her decision to step away from the digital world resonated with fans, many of whom applauded her for prioritizing mental health and creating space for meaningful reflection.
