I first tried modeling while in High School (Kenya High School). In my days, for one to vie for the coveted Miss BOMA title, your housemates had to vote for you to represent the house and compete at the finals. I remember losing at house level, and feeling so sad for even thinking I had a shot at it. Then I went to High School 2 (Anestar Girls Nakuru). Everyone used to look at me like something that had dropped out of heaven. People literally used to gasp when I passed by them. For some reason, they used to find me pretty, which did a lot for my...

Life can be hard, but we always have a choice to determine how we react to whatever it throws our way. To be a person of impact, sometimes you have to conquer the most difficult of situations. And that's just life. You are also, always, at free will to choose whether you want to be a stressor, a dabbler, or an achiever (will talk about these 3 kinds of people in another blog post).

Confidence! Confidence! Confidence! Confidence is not an easy trait to master. It takes days, months or even years to gain, and considering how long it can take to build, it's sad how equally short of a time it can take to destroy. As a title holder, 2019 was the year my confidence got tested the most. This prolly being my first time as a public figure, I went through experiences that tested my patience times without number.

"I'm so sorry, you couldn't make it past vetting 😔 ," were the words my house matron met me with on this fateful evening after school that day. And those words, hurt more than mere words could even express. What doesn't kill you, can only make you better Discovery for me hit different during my high school days. I had no interest, zero zeal, absolutely no longing for fun or funkies, and all I lived for were club meetings and career days.
