To most people, I'm a content genie, social media scientist, (pencil) sketch artist, graphics artist, website crafter, startup inventor, coding dream chaser and Psychology overdoser. 

 

To others, I'm a stunt traveller, anything is possible-ist, epic rebel, random hustler, nutcase teacher, lifelong student, inebriated dancer, coincidental leader, extreme overthinker, one-hit-wonder fashion model, esoteric comedian, some-kind-of hippie, introverted autodidact, introverted extrovert, extroverted introvert, self-proclaimed geek, occasional badass, metacognition mutant, Afro hair magician, self-accepting weirdo and MacGyvering jeweller.

 

It has taken what seems like centuries to figure this out but I've finally realised why my mother (best mum in the world) had to "invent" me, care for me, nurture me, then survive my antics over the years. It was so that I could live to see a day when all I do and want to do is create or put together art and content that entertains, inspires or educates.

 

My ideal day involves me creating.

 

Creating using words, strokes, shots, clicks, ideas or code.

 

During my scheduled free time, I'm either devouring a non-fiction book, getting smarter via a podcast, getting fit at a gym, exercising my shaky Spanish, creating a piece of art, editing a piece of jewellery, trying hard not to write bad poetry, honing my Wantrepreneur skills, concocting YouTube videos, formulating a blog post, studying anything interesting concerning the brain, reading about AI and machine learning or figuring out how to code. 

 

During my not-so-free free time, I'm either practising the latest scrolling techniques on Instagram, falling into Youtube's algorithmic trap by watching endless interviews, talks and music videos or getting sucked into a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

 

Before developing an allergy to office settings i.e. becoming a freelancer and a digital nomad, I was a social media content creator at a PR firm in Kenya, an English teacher in Colombia and Venezuela, an expansion lead at a tech firm in Nigeria, an intern at a Marketing firm in Kenya, an intern for entrepreneurship project in Czech Republic and the National President of AIESEC in Kenya.

 

12 years and 38 countries later, there's a lot to look back on. Any kind of useful sanity (and insanity) projected by my persona pays ode to three major factors. The mind-blowing developmental experiences milked from AIESEC, the brain-washing concepts from fantastic books, and (on a minor scale) the hilarious lessons taught by my modelling days when I dabbled in pageants - first in college and later as Miss Commonwealth/Global Kenya 2005-2006.

 

Yaddi yaddi yadda.

 

If you're still reading this, down to this particular futile sentence, you're a rockstar. Which means you might actually tolerate the harping on my blog or even go as far as reading my free e-book. You are exactly my kind of human. The awesome kind of human. I appreciate you :)
