The life of Grace Haukwa is about conquering mountains, making her an agent of 'every woman can do it'. She is a model, cultural dancer, producer, artiste manager and devoted mother, among others. The mother of two, Sean and Mapenzi, has instilled in her boys the zeal she had as a child.

"My uncles George and Avangi told me I was entertaining guests as a child dancing to cultural songs such as 'Watoto Tukatike' and 'Mwana wa Mberi', a Luhya traditional Isukuti dance song. My Grandmother Lorna owned a beautiful cultural dance group in Busia and she did so many dance performances in her village. My mother loves cultural dance and since I was born, I was surrounded by a family that enjoys cultural music and dance," she said.
