Mental Health Advocacy
Having experienced depression and struggled alone to get through what I was going through, I never wanted anyone else to go through the same. So, I founded Mental Health Kenya to create a platform where those who need mental health services can be able to be linked with service providers
Social Media Activism
Social media is a very powerful tool for creating awareness on better leadership, fight for Justice and social change. I believe every voice matters and we should always use any platform to push for change. Social media has been that platform for me. Changing the world for the better one post/tweet at a time.
Social Media Influencing
As a social media influencer, I have worked with many brands, from Arrow Dental, Mental Health and Wellness Kenya, LG, Airtel, Zonk Radio, Zonk News just to mention but a few and have greatly helped them achieve their set goal and targets. I am always open to working with brands that I agreed with.
