Dr Lindah Muthoni: The influencer with a PhD

"Today marks yet another milestone," she captions a picture of herself carrying a pile of huge books on an early October post, adding, "Four years of my life in one hand: My PhD thesis. I will probably discuss my topic and area of research in the near future... for now, I just need to toast to myself, (because), This isn't for the faint at heart!"

Dr Lindah Muthoni is the ultimate influencer, holding a doctorate of philosophy and working as a civil servant when she's not making waves on her social media pages. Indeed, attaining a PhD is not an easy task. A 2019 report by Business Daily notes that only one out of 10 PhD students in Kenya complete their studies.
