On a recent "Flashback Friday," Kenyan socialite and entrepreneur Faith Makau, widely known as Amber Ray, took her millions of followers on a sentimental journey.

She shared a series of photos featuring her firstborn son, Gavin, illustrating a dramatic "before and after" transformation that spans their life before and after her rise to fame.

The Humble 'Before'

The early photos offer a glimpse into a much simpler time. In these images, a younger Amber Ray is seen in more modest settings, often without the high-fashion styling that now defines her public persona.

Gavin, now a teenager, appears as a young child, and the photos reflect a period focused on the core bond between a mother and her son. These "before" shots capture the pair in everyday environments, long before the days of Sh350,000 monthly rent and Sh1.5 million monthly expenses.

“Flash back Friday with my first love,” she captioned those photos.

The Glamorous 'After'

The "after" photos tell a completely different story. They showcase a polished, luxury-filled lifestyle that includes high-end birthday gifts, such as an iPhone 14 for Gavin’s 13th birthday.

The modern images feature the pair in designer clothing, enjoying lavish celebrations and high-profile events.

The transformation isn't just about wealth; it's about the growth of their family, which now includes Amber’s fiancé, Kennedy Rapudo, and their daughter, Africanah Rapudo.

"Us now! Truly God is amazing,” she captured.

A Mother's Constant Love

Despite the shift from "grass to grace," Amber Ray’s captions remain grounded in her devotion to Gavin. She has often described him as her "pride and joy" and the "single most important human" in her life.

Whether graduating from school or celebrating a birthday, Gavin remains at the centre of his mother’s world.
