Lynn Forbes Approaches 57th Birthday in a Wholsome Way: “Some Experiences Change You”

• Lynn Forbes recently turned 57 and shared that she would not be celebrating it in the "usual sense"
• Uploading a video of her time in Cape Town, Lynn wrote about what she would be honouring in the steps she has made along the way
• The local media personality touched South Africans, who also sent her birthday wishes and well wishes

The mother of the late rapper AKA, Lynn Forbes, celebrated her 57th year around the sun, expressing a deep sense of gratitude. While most birthdays are celebrated with parties, the media personality shared how she chose to approach a new year in life.

Lynn, who celebrated her birthday over the weekend, shared on her Instagram account that she walked over 11km in Cape Town's affluent suburbs such as Mouille Point, Camps Bay and Clifton, remaining grateful with every step.

In a post of reflection, the podcaster, who lost AKA to gun violence in 2023, noted that turning 57 was not a celebration "in the usual sense." Instead, it was a quiet pause, and a moment to sit with all that life has given her.

She wrote in her caption:

"Some experiences change you so deeply, your entire rhythm shifts. This year, I’m honouring the quiet ways I’ve kept going, the small, steady ways I’ve come back to myself. The softness I’ve learned to trust.

"I’ve come to understand: not everything needs to be healed. Not every space needs to be filled. I now know that love defies rules, it’s peaceful, and it feels like home. I’m mindful of what I let in, and gentle with what I carry."
