Resilience driven by love and faith
On set, Kendji shared the keys to his rapid reconstruction: “What I had to do was turn everything off. I turned everything off. I only had the love of my family, of my little girlfrom my wife. I felt the love of the public because I was getting news. But I ignored everything and took only the good ones.” Deeply marked, he also explained the importance of prayer in this process: “I prayed a lot, because I was grateful for God’s love that was able to keep me like this.”
