Official Bio
I was born and raised in Kenya and as a Kenya journalist and an African blogger, my area of

to spur development. I strongly believe in the power of knowledge and words.
I’m a graduate of BA (Hons) Communication and Media
Technology with IT. I have published OpEds in Kenyan the Star, Daily Nation, The
EastAfrican, Standard, People and Business Daily.
I have had journalism stints at Kenya News Agency (KNA) and Vice President Press
Services (VPPS) covering Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, the Kenyan VP and
legislator from Mwingi North.
