I’m 11 years older than Oba Femi so why do I look like his little brother? 😳
He told me he would beat Brock Lesner at #Wrestlemania and he did!

This evening I had a moment of reflection…
From the day I left the village 20 years ago, carrying a torn green bag in search of greener pastures in Nairobi, because I knew there was no future for me in the village.
I remember sharing a mattress with my cousin in a mabati house in Uthiru. The anxiety of going to the shared toilets because of the state they were in. The quiet determination that somehow, life had to change.
I remember walking to Karbanet Gardens and telling the GSU officers at the gate that I wanted to see former President Moi, convinced that if only I could speak to him, he would support my university education. Of course, it wasn’t that simple. But the audacity to try? That has always been me. And I did meet him much later. Story for another day.
There were setbacks.
Being sent out of a hostel in Ngara because I couldn’t pay. Assisting at a posho mill, milling flour for people daily, yet still stealing moments between customers to read a book. Feeding the mind even when the pocket was empty.
Then I discovered Facebook. I began sharing my thoughts on governance and politics, informed by the Kenyan reality around me and the books I was reading. I was just an amateur writer with opinions and conviction.
One day, someone sent me Peter Kenneth’s number. I crafted a message explaining the value I could add to his campaign through social media. To my shock, he called me the very next day. That conversation changed the course of my life. I ended up working in his campaign.
A few months later, the TNA Party leadership reached out because of my growing social media presence. I initially resisted. But they were persistent and eventually, I accepted the role of Communication Manager.
After the campaign, I found myself stranded again for a while. But by God’s grace, I landed at NEPAD Kenya. And life began unfolding in ways I could not have imagined.
From continental engagements under the African Union framework, to global missions with the Presidency, covering high-level forums such as the UN General Assembly, the Belt & Road Forum, the G7 etc.
All this while juggling work, travel and school.
A Bachelor’s degree in Mass Media and Communication. Shortly followed by a Master’s in International Studies.
It has been a long road for this village girl from Githiga. But here I am. Growing, learning, pushing boundaries.
No one promised it would be easy.
But some journeys must be walked, no matter how steep the climb.
