Tell us about yourself
I was born in Kibera slum as the last born in a family of two children. In 2000, our family moved to Kangemi. We were excited by this shift, but we were soon to realize that the excitement would be short-lived.
What happened?
Two years after moving to Kangemi, my mother died from meningitis. Life took a drastic turn and my sister and I had to move to my grandmother’s place in Dandora slum. I was only 10 at the time, but I felt the world was crashing down from all sides. My grandma used to work at a mzungu’s place in Muthaiga as a cook and we depended on her wages for survival.
