Who am I?
I wear many hats, this includes being a Jewellery Designer, Card Designer, YouTuber, Creator and Cast Member of Kenyan Youtube show Unfiltered_KE and also a Blogger. I have so many things i want to do in life but i mainly want to be known for being an inspirer in all that i do. I was with a friend over the weekend who really encouraged me by telling me how proud he was of what i had achieved and that i was indeed a definition of a doer. I really appreciated what he shared with me but i realised one thing that my very own competition is myself and that i am the bravest person i know because jumping and diving into entrepreneurship in a country although born in i had no strong connection with was indeed a great risk. For doing so meant leaving my immediate family members and a very aspiring career as a teacher with one heck of a lovely pay check every month. Then begun a new life relying on my savings and starting businesses from scratch (with no major experience i must add) and propelling ideas into money making opportunities.

Why this path?
Honestly, i get asked this
all the time and my answer is one, God. I felt it in me so strongly to move
back to Kenya and i battled with this decision for six years. My love affair
with Kenya stems from when after my under-grad i came to Kenya to work for NTV
( Kenyan TV Station) and i was only meant to stay for 5 months, i ended up
staying for 14 months but when i left i always felt i had made a mistake. I
fought it for so long that when my life made a sudden change at the beginning
of 2015, i decided to dive into moving back and just answer the question of
whether i had made the right decision to leave or whether it was my destiny to
be here. Currently with all the wonderful experiences i have enjoyed so far and
growth experienced, there is no doubt in my mind that i am on the right path
and for now i am here and will continue to be until time says otherwise.

What i have learnt about myself...
Although it continues to be a very fulfilling path i am walking on, it is by no means easy. In fact it challenges me mentally everyday because i have to strengthen my mind to know that even though the results are not immediate the rewards are coming and i must continue forth, trusting the process of everything that i am doing. This also by far my most loneliest journey i have ever had to walk on because i cannot always be candid to my circle of trust about my struggles, my frustrations and my disappointments. However it has taught me to lean on God a whole lot more and even though at times his will does not match my wants and/or needs, i have come to understand the greater purpose of his doings in my life.

What you should you expect from me...
I am an evolving being who is not bound by time no limited by
talent. If you told me i would be living in Kenya having revived my jewellery
business and then started a card business alongside it too, and at the same
time growing my youtube and blogging career. My response back would have been
drugs are not good for you, so stop lol! so expect the unexpected from me
because i aim to go to greater heights, i aim to continually surprise myself
with how far i can propel and most importantly i will be a dream, a goal and
role model in all that i do. In a nutshell expect a journey of limitless
expectations and an evolving career that are in line with the purpose i was
created for, which although currently not really definable, one thing i do know i am
closer to it than i was before making the move. So just keep following and
staying tuned to all that i do.

What keeps me motivated...
Every time i wake up, i have another chance to make my story great and so i do so even when i don't feel like it because my dying shall only be once and i will not let my graveside be filled with dreams that could have lived when i was alive. I am motivated to kill my fears everyday by daring to go against the grain. You see, followers only have something to follow when another has dared to set a trend, so call me a trendsetter, a shapeshifter and a born leader. I once was scared to be who i was born to be because i never really felt i could be her then one day it hit me if i don't do it who will. I owe it to myself and more importantly to the world to leave something greater than myself, so as scary as it is to do so i scarily do it because it thrills me to know that i am God's dream and i look forward to seeing myself through his eyes by reflecting back on my living reality.
Lastly i will leave you with this poem, i wrote almost 10 years ago which makes for a great ending on what my journey of life at this point has been about.
Life's Wise Words
Normalcy creates
contentment
Contentment is a sin
You become comfortable
with life as it is
You never want to reach
for the stars
Challenges go a miss
God created us for a
purpose
Take a chance in life
Put yourself at risk
Be a cut above the rest
It takes a wise man to
rise to a new challenge
It takes a fool to
ignore talent
Always be change, life is better that way
Don't ponder and wonder
Be wise and listen
Dream, yes, but always do.
In life, it is on you
to decide what makes you happy
You choose to make no
change you remain as you are
You choose to make a
change You benefit you for the
better which makes you greater.
My story forever continues...to stay a breast with all that i do here is how..
