Kendi Ntwiga is an exemplar of the phrase, “Still waters run deep.” She describes herself as “naturally an introvert”, so much so that when she began her career, she really kept to herself and did not really ask questions. 

“I did not know how to seek for assistance or for help and reach out. I overcame that by realizing that I had to research and put myself out more.  I had to learn to raise my hand, ask questions and share what I was struggling with and I found that people were more than willing to assist,” she says.
