First/current neighborhood: I grew up in Kagongo Village in Kiambu County and I still live in Kiambu.
Worst/best job: My best job was as a TV host. I had a reggae show on Kameme TV and a Mugithi show on Mt Kenya TV.
My worst job was at a certain record label in Kenya. The work environment was so toxic it took a toll on my mental and physical health.
Worst mistake ever: I choose to see it as a lesson; I should have sought financial literacy in my early 20s to start saving and investing early enough, but now I know better.
One thing you cannot give away: My energy, I love it so much.
One unforgettable person: My father (may his soul rest in peace). I am a copy and paste of him. He was a happy soul and his laughter was everything. He was also a very hardworking man.
Best advice ever: If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you are not
sure you can do it, say yes, then learn how to do it later - Richard Branson.
