A household name and brand herself, Janet Mbugua, is our #WCW of the week. As a respected former news anchor, the media personality is using her fame to create a platform that empowers women.
The gender equality advocate is the founder of Inua Dada Foundation, a foundation targeted at uplifting and empowering the girl child. On her already impressive roster is Better 4 Kenya. This is a group that is aimed at advocating for gender equality to make Kenya better for not only women, but for everyone.
More recently, the mother of two boys broke into the book publishing front with a publication titled My First Time. The book narrates memorable stories from different people about periods, a widely stigmatized topic. This red paperback book certainly needs to be on your wish list, as well as a nice gift for a loved one this upcoming holiday season.
Janet is definitely a force to be reckoned with. You go girl!
