Honored to be nominated for the East Africa Woman Of Excellence Awards by @e.awomenofexcellenceawards, under the Global Partner for Education category.
These last few years through @inuadada, weāve pushed for education by ensuring school girls have access to basic needs such as Menstrual products.
Iāve extended the same recently through the work I do with @gpforeducation as a champion for their program.
Access to education is a much needed conversation.
Please spare a moment to vote for me at the link in my bio.
Once you log on to womenofexcellenceawards.co/vote, head over to the category titled Global Partner for Eduction and youāll find my name (listed among other great nominees!).
And then next, spare some time to read the latest report by @gpforeducation and a call to action for all of us, to show up for our children.

This shoot had me feeling the most liberated and in my skin than I ever have.
For this look (we shot three looks in total), @brianbabu snatched my wig off (literally) and made me stand tall in a look Iāve never photographed in, while @holyziner guided me and I ended up feeling regal and vulnerable at the same time.
And it felt SO good.
It might seem trivial to talk about how much this freed me, but thatās part of a story that only I know about. Itās a personal milestone. And itās taken grit, God and grace to get here.

āWherever you go, there you areā
This quote often means one of two things:
1. You cannot run from oneās problems indefinitely and
2. Be present, be still.
Iām combining both meanings and saying to myself, āI canāt run away from my problems, but I can be still and figure out how to navigate my next stepsā.
Better yet, on a rainbow-painted road with the Blue Church serving as a backdrop.
One of my fave moments from my recent travels to Iceland. Video out soon āØ
Enjoy your #saturday

What an honor to attend and moderate a session at the Reykjavik Global Forum for Women Leaders in Reykjavik, Iceland.
I moderated a session titled Why Economic Power is a vital sign for Womenās Health, joined by amazing women in the space both on and off stage, including the First Lady of Iceland.
The conversations have been full of heart, as hard issues are unpacked. In many ways, I believe thatās what good leadership entails; getting back to the heart of the issues that most affect various populations around the world.
More soon where Iāll share my takeouts.
Thank you to Judy Gitau for capturing some of these moments! Second pic by MarĆa Kjartans
And yes, weāre ok so far. Volcanic eruption warnings and all. Praying that the towns affected recover soon šš¾

As I write this, I now understand more than ever, the importance of being in tune with your body, something I was doing previously and then I let it slip.
2020 has been a super stressful time for most, so even the tiniest triggers should not be ignored.
Life happens to the best of us. The lesson though is to lean in to our bodies and be at our best health always.
Thereās only one you; look after that person.
Unfortunately I wonāt continue with Vlogtober and Iāll be back here at whatever point feels best for me. I was soooo enjoying myself but life had other plans! Iāll put the videos on private mode for now so that the sequence isnāt left hanging and so that when I have the strength, I post a complete set of videos. Iām OCD like that š
Take care, my lovely community. Thrive, always. ā¤ļø

āOut of suffering have emerged the strongest souls, the most massive characters are seared with scars. So as you adapt to the new normal, with the complexity it brings for most of us in our business, lives and with our children, remember you are not alone.ā

Constantly evolving. Anyone else? Sometimes it can be a solitary journey because no one quite gets the shift youāre in, but OWN IT! A shift is always necessary āØ I thought someone needed to hear that, itās been on my mind all week!
