If the president called you today would you be bold enough to engage him in conversation? Would you chicken out in disbelief? A call from the president was the reality of the mother to Tinsely Nduta, a four-year-old child. The mother appears jittery in the video on her TikTok (Mama Tinsely). She speaks to the president and gives her daughter Tinsely the phone to speak.
This warm gesture by the president will be a memorable experience for Tinsely. She barely comprehended the magnitude of the event. She will likely recall it in awe when she grows into a teenager. The president contacted her in response to her video that trended.
