Like kids who grew up in the tiny dusty village of Ndundune in Kitui County, Mombasa's prominent tourism player Ms Janet Chamia, walked to school barefoot.
Girls who grew up in the county then had little dreams but Ms Chamia was to later prove many wrong. At first, she was a 'jack of many trades and master of none" as she tried many things in life.
"I was born in a family of nine siblings and was the third in line. There were five girls and four boys. Like many girls in the village, I went to school barefoot but I always had big dreams," said Ms Chamia. Her father served as an assistant chief while her mother was a peasant farmer.
