About Me

*My name is Sella* , and my journey has been filled with challenges, perseverance, and small victories. During high school, I struggled to balance my education with helping my family. Financial difficulties made it hard to stay focused, but I got creative and worked hard to complete my education.

*In 2019,* I faced another setback when I lost my job as a waitress due to COVID-19. I moved back to my mother’s house in Nyeri and dealt with feelings of depression and uncertainty. Determined to make a change, I borrowed Ksh 2,000 from a friend named Ismael and started selling earrings. As my business grew, I expanded to selling both earrings and wig extensions.

*In 2022* , life took another unexpected turn when I had a preterm baby. My focus shifted to caring for my child, which slowed down my business. However, I refused to give up. In 2024, I decided to restart my wig business and promote it on social media. The positive feedback from my customers has been incredibly encouraging, but I struggle with not having enough stock to meet their demands.

*To truly succeed now* , I need extra money to increase my inventory and grow my business while managing family life. My journey has taught me that perseverance can open doors, and I believe that with the right support, I can achieve even more.
