AND FRIENDS
“.....So perhaps hang on to that dream, but think of other ways to make that dream come true, it might not come true immediately not in this market because we’re also not reach the self-actualization stage. Majority of Kenyans will not buy a dress before they buy food, buy a plot, build true true. Technically true true. So hung on to the dream but find a way to get to it maybe not immediately a dream deferred is not dream forgotten, it isn’t.”
“Because that’s what l do l just disappear quickly into a rabbit hole and so focus on the shoot came to try it on later now when l had my own, in my house and now the thing that am looking forward to because l will now set up proper shoots with this phone, get out and do, and do stuff, l have many ideas, yeah, l have many ideas and for it’s always a thing of saying, because l have always told people, while not me there is this quote a photography quote that the best camera is the one that you have with you.”
“Now someone called Brian said, if you are not an athlete or would you be? When I was asked that I said, if I was not in media, I’d be a teacher. If you’re not an athlete, what would you be? I think that that beats my IQ because l have been in sport for what for 20 years. I will be celebrating 20 years on the 31st of August this year. That’s all you’ve known. I always thought l can stay on the site, in my mind l put sport in all my two minds in my head. So if you are not an athlete you would be an athlete. There’s nothing else."
“So that’s me packed my bags left. So in Egypt, you and the Israelite’s found freedom. Like so you see I never liked in Egypt. It was Just documenting the, what is called? The stories like that travel, oh yes, it was just trying…….like a travel blog, yeah, yeah. So during that point I was like, what is this I’m feeling alright, I am feeling so like I couldn’t even explain it at that moment, until I came back. Like I was I had zero worry about tomorrow like I didn’t have the best budget cause your backpacking. But you have never been happier. Before. So, that point was like, what is this? I’m feeling at this point. So that’s what photography was to me at that point freedom to express myself."
“My inspiration I think is becoming a better version of myself. I think there’s a lot of joy that comes from growth from doing what you’re supposed to do and from contributing to the world, I and l believe as a Christian that I’m able to fulfill my purpose here on Earth.”
“So first, I’d like to give credit where credit is due and give praise to my boss because this is all her baby when Love Artisan starting out, it was a way for the company to create job opportunities for the local artisans. Africa is blessed with a whole lot of different cultures, a lot of different fabrics.”
“It’s more of the need to serve, there’s been a perception about insurance that insurance is about liars, they don’t pay their bills, they don’t do what and you’ll find many times. It’s how the product has been presented. So to us, it’s about ensuring that a perception of insurance changed.”
“As for Flora as well, l make sure that l work with local florist when l am sourcing the flowers as well as local farms, because l think its also an opportunity for me to be able to show case the beauty that is flowers that are available in Kenya other than just roses because l think that’s all we are used to seeing”
“Is going to work and not feeling like you’re going to work, because you’re doing what you love, doing, it as simple as that and as you doing it, guess what? As you’re doing it, people get to recognize because it’s what you love doing.”
“My main drive for taking a career in insurance was basically to enable the the penetration of the insurance knowledge to the masses. You reckon that a lot of people in Kenya, do not understand any most aspects of insurance. They don’t understand why insurance is important.”
“I think feedback is basically a blessing and a good thing because that then makes me a better person that makes my baseline in terms of customers happy, a good thing and a customer who speaks is basically better than a customer who doesn’t speak. So I’m able to improve on my products.”
