Were you born in Kibera?

No, I was born in Lwandeti, Webuye. I attended Sirungai Primary and did KCPE in 1994. I never joined high school for lack of fees. Since l was talented in art, l resolved to pursue it, and through own determination and assistance from close allies, l perfected skills in sign writing, sculpting, carving and art and design. I came to Nairobi and lived in Kibera from December 2003. People hire me to do signage on shops. I also draw and paint portraits. I am married with three children.
