Actress Maiwase Finds Solace in Tattoos After Painful Divorce
Zambian actress Maclean Sandra Phiri, popularly known as Maiwase, recently opened up about how the pain of her divorce led her to get tattoos as a form of emotional relief. She and her former husband, fellow actor Tom Njobvu, shared a highly publicized marriage due to their roles on Muvi TV’s hit soap Banja. After their split, Maiwase faced deep emotional turmoil and found comfort in tattoos, which became a way for her to express herself and heal.
The actress revealed that while the divorce was a painful chapter in her life, the act of getting tattoos allowed her to regain some sense of control. She described the process as not only a creative outlet but also a means of reclaiming her identity post-divorce. Each tattoo, according to her, carries a personal meaning, helping her cope with the trauma and stress she endured.
Maiwase also spoke about the stigma surrounding tattoos in Zambia and how many people associate them with rebellion or a tough lifestyle. However, for her, they represent something much deeper—a form of art and personal empowerment. Through her experiences, she hopes to challenge these negative stereotypes and inspire others who may be going through similar struggles.
Despite the challenges she faced, Maiwase’s resilience shines through. Her story is a testament to the power of personal expression and finding unique ways to heal from life’s most difficult moments.
