Tell us more about your growing up
I was born in Migori, but raised in Mombasa, Magongo estate. I am the first born in a family of five. Growing up, I would say it wasn’t that easy, my parents were not that stable, and we struggled through life. After completing Standard Eight, I relocated to the village where I transitioned to high school. I went back to Magongo after Form Four and that’s where my life changed for the worse after I failed to proceed to college. Initially, I resolved to become an activist in our estate where I started a group to fight crime.
The group became so popular and respected that when there was any theft case, we would be approached to find the stolen goods, and we used to get them and return them to the owners.
