Happy Birthday Tata Mary 21st June 2025
The Golden Bond: A Tribute from the Golden Girls Club to One of Our Own
In every community, there are those rare individuals whose presence brings light, laughter, and a sense of belonging wherever they go. Today, as we celebrate the 60th birthday of Mary, we, the Golden Girls Club, take a moment to honour one of our own—an extraordinary woman whose life is a beautiful blend of strength, warmth, and grace.
The Golden Girls Club (GGC) is a private circle of Kenyan women living in the UK, bound not just by heritage but by purpose. We are connected through friendship, shared culture, and a vision to empower one another across generations. From vibrant millennials to wise baby boomers, our membership is rich in diversity yet united in one mission: to grow together, invest together, support each other, and create a lasting legacy rooted in authenticity and sisterhood.
As the newest and youngest member of this powerful sisterhood, I have been deeply moved by the strength, elegance, and wisdom that surrounds me. And among the women who embody these values so beautifully is Mary—not only a cherished Golden Girl but also someone I proudly call a neighbour back in Kenya. To see her celebrated today is a deeply personal and heartwarming moment.
Turning 60 is no small milestone. For Mary, it’s a celebration of a life lived with purpose, humility, laughter, and style. Her presence in the Golden Girls Club is a gift—she brings joy, wisdom, and a calm confidence that reminds us all what true grace looks like. Mary is the kind of woman whose light uplifts others, whose words comfort, and whose life inspires.
And as we celebrate Mary, we also take a moment to honour the steady hand and passionate heart behind the Golden Girls Club—our Chairlady, Nelly Mwangi. Nelly, your leadership has been the backbone of this club. Through your vision, compassion, and unwavering dedication, you have created a safe, empowering space where women can truly be themselves. Thank you for keeping the bond strong, the culture alive, and the sisterhood growing.
On behalf of all the Golden Girls, we say:
Happy 60th Birthday, Mary!
May this chapter overflow with laughter, love, and the continued brilliance that makes you so special.
With love, pride, and celebration,
The Golden Girls Club (UK Chapter)
