Advocacy: My advocacy is Youth empowerment through education, confidence building, leadership development and resilience .

With over 70% of Kenya’s population under the age of 35, youth hold the power to transform the nation, yet many are held back by self-doubt, lack of mentorship and fear of failure. I understand this deeply because I have personally faced setbacks and moments of rejection that once limited my confidence and expression.

I believe in empowering young people to rise beyond their past, build their voices and step boldly into leadership and opportunity.

Through mentorship, leadership training and public speaking development, I aim to impact at least 1,000 young people annually, helping them build confidence, embrace resilience and develop leadership skills that turn their challenges into purpose and their potential into impact.

Role Model: My father is my greatest role model because his life embodies resilience, sacrifice and unwavering strength. Through unimaginable losses, family responsibilities and personal challenges, he has continued to lead with love, integrity and selflessness. He has taught me that true strength is not measured by the absence of hardship but by the courage to rise above it and keep moving forward. His dedication to providing for and guiding our family has shaped the woman I am today, inspiring me to pursue my dreams with determination, grace and purpose. His life is a powerful reminder that even in the face of adversity, one can remain faithful to their responsibilities
