When the pandemic struck two years ago, 41-year-old Zilia Lotan found herself jobless after working for seven years.
However, she never allowed this to be a depressing point in her life, instead, she turned her passion for baking into an income-generating activity.
Lotan, based in Mombasa, now runs a bakery from her house named Zilly Bakes. Despite being a young business, it recently beat well-established ones to emerge second during a baking competition courtesy of Mombasa Maize Millers.
