I’m good at.............letting go of grudges and connecting with people.

I’m very bad at..............navigation.

The last book I enjoyed reading is...............Rules of the Wild: A Novel of Africa by Francesca Marciano.

A common misconception of me is............I'm a snob. I am actually just shy.

One of my worst childhood fears was.................anything that crawls. Still gives me the creeps

My ideal night out is.............with friends, food, laughter and dancing.

In another life I’d have been.............a psychologist by day and belly dancer by night.

If I was a politician, I would.......................most likely lead an empowerment project in advocacy for inclusion and improved livelihood.

The best age to be is............between 30 and 50.

The best part of my job...............the people I meet

My greatest regret is................I can’t say I have any regrets because everything that has happened in life was simply shaping me to be a better version of me.

Historical figure I most identify with..................Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai. Like her, I want to make a difference in whatever I do.

Living person I most admire.................First Lady Margaret Kenyatta. She is simply a breath of fresh air and her natural qualities have captured the heart of the nation.

My greatest achievement is..........I was the first in my family to get a driving licence on the first test.

My favourite writer is.............Biko Zulu.

My lowest point of misery was..............when my grandfather passed on.

My greatest possession is............my salvation. God has been everything I hold on to because nothing will last forever except Him.

If I was to die in five minutes, my last words would be.................I came, I saw and I conquered.
