Level of education completed: Masters in International Marketing

Occupation: I'm a Fashion and beauty blogger

Do you consider yourself an adult? Ummmm.. Yes

here so growing up is essential.

10 years from now I see myself: Married with children, successful in my field of business and life in general, doing what I love most: something to do with fashion, beauty and/or natural hair.. I also like to travel so I think I will have seen quite a big chunk of the world by then.

The Kenyan fashion/beauty industry is at its infancy stage which provides the perfect opportunity for me to grow with it. I think I will be considered as those people who were in it when it started. Also, many Kenyan women are starting to embrace their natural hair, which means that there are business opportunities out there. We need to take advantage of this... I need to take advantage of this.. Through hard

work, perfectionism and willingness to take risks, it's all possible. Opportunities are endless. I'm quite hopeful.

What is the biggest concern in your life right now? Not being able to do what I love, and being confined to something I'm not interested in... That's about it.

How likely do you think it is that you will eventually get what you want out of life? (Explain.) I think it's somewhat likely, just if I keep an open mind to it. I think a lot of

people get stuck in a job that pays alright and gives them comfort. It's

something that keeps you from getting all out of life.

What is the biggest concern in your life right now? Whether I'll be able to make any money with the study I'm rolled into. I sometimes fear that the game industry will

be over-saturated when I'm finished with school.
