No, you don’t have to be a thief, nor be politically connected to do great things

I have just returned from a breathtaking mission across a swathe of our country. The assignment, far from the madding crowds, saw me accompany the amazing Dr Betty Gikonyo of the Karen Hospital to a dozen high schools, assuring students that their dreams are valid. For in 2013, Dr Gikonyo published her autobiography, aptly titled ‘The Girl Who Dared To Dream’.

I had the privilege of midwifing Dr Gikonyo’s gem, as the publishing editor. At the dawn of my publishing career, I produced books for a living. Today, my publishing is an avocation. Accordingly, I only work with the very finest of books in content, narrative and packaging. I unapologetically concede to some level of artistic conceit on my part. This is my strand of self-actualisation, working with the finest to produce the finest.
