About Me
I was born in kariene village where I grew in a family of five children. my father died when I was seven years and left my mother with poverty in which we grew in till I completed my form four attaining D plain grade. then a well wisher helped me to join a collage where I trained as dressmaker and a designer in the year 2008. After I completed my collage I stayed home helping my mother
At the village. However life became hard hence I decided to look for employment in the city Nairobi and found one in a relative tailor shop with salary 2,000 KES per montht. With salary I made savings for two year I bought sewing machine and opened my own tailoring and design shop where am earning a living from. besides am a mother of two with a loving husband from kisii county. My hopes are singing and dancing.
