She says her journey to financial stability began with humble beginnings, from hawking telecom products to becoming a Mpesa agent.

“I left school, and my first job was hawking Line ya ‘U’ when the long-gone telecom started in Kenya. Then later became a Mpesa agent. I slowly made steps into the commercial world and became an overlooked receptionist, but who is God?”
