The late Stella Muka Awinja, as you already know, is the only campus student in Kenya with a hostel named in her honour.

Stella was a third-year engineering student at the University of Nairobi where her prowess in poetry and theatre were evident as she performed in among others; John Ruganda’s The Floods, a play poking fun at the dictatorship of Idi Amin. She also starred in Wole Soyinka’s The Successor.
