Women breaking the glass ceiling is always worth celebrating. More so when that woman achieves a massive feat, one that others haven't done before her. Meet Caroline Tegeret. At only 25 she has become the jewel of the Ogiek community from which she hails, after she became the first woman to be admitted to the bar.

Tegeret hails from Nessuit, a small village in Njoro, Nakuru County. Her academic journey began like many others albeit fraught with challenges. She attended Olenguruone DEB Primary School before joining Nessuit Primary School. Tegeret later joined Kapropita Girls High School in Baringo County before proceeding to Moi University School of Law.
