[Image]Former Citizen TV reporter Willis Raburu has revealed his family's reaction after he installed dreadlocks.The bubbly presenter installed dread-locked at a time when he was launching his singing career.In an interview with Mark Maasai, Raburu denied he was going through an identity crisis as he and his now ex-wife Marya Prude had just divorced.He had also lost his daughter with Marya at the time hence he was still mourning."I had always wanted to install dreadlocks. I found them fascinating.I had them for two years, I wanted people to understand that you cannot make your decisions based on what other people will think.People told me I would get fired, so I called my boss and he said I wouldn't given I was still performing at work."Raburu says given his dad is a respected pastor, he had to sit him down and explain why he had installed the locks."He is a pastor and we had a conversation at length and words were exchanged until we agreed."What inspired the decision?"I was driving and I told my fiance that I wanna put on dreadlocks and once I confirmed I did it.People were losing their minds even in the office. People thought it was an identity crisis because of what I had gotten through (Divorce, loss of daughter)Ironically this was the only time I was proud of myself because I was making decisions that were good for me and not worrying about what people think."Why did he shave"My Fiance taught me that it's just hair so I decided to shave.I once met DR S.K Macharia and he told me people were crazy for thinking he would fire Raburu over my hair."
