I’ve learned that if you can manage a hundred well, you can manage a million. When I started earning, I committed to saving a fixed amount every month—not because I had extra, but because consistency builds discipline. Financial growth starts with how you manage what you already have.

Graduating in 2021, my first job wasn’t in my field, but I embraced it as a stepping stone. Working in a clinic as an admin and receptionist, I handled clients, accounts, and money matters. Having been exposed to money from a young age, it never intimidated me—I understood its purpose and responsibility. Being trusted with finances and procurement in my first role built my confidence and reminded me that trust speaks louder than titles.

I didn’t grow up with formal money talks, but I learned through life. My dad’s shop and bureau showed me what really pays the bills, and as the firstborn, responsibility found me early. I was trusted with more because I was seen as mature, and slowly I learned to understand money not just as something you spend, but something you respect and manage with intention.

Being the firstborn in a big family taught me responsibility early. My siblings look up to me, and I’ve learned that even when it feels heavy, you don’t run away from your role. Growing up around my dad’s business also shaped how I see money, discipline, and life. I carry all of that with me.

My second job paid me KSh 10,000—7,000 salary and 3,000 for fare. To some people that may sound small, but to me, it meant freedom.
It meant I could finally provide for myself. Buy the things I had always wanted. Dress the way I loved. Most importantly, it meant I could move out and stand on my own.

Life in Mandera in the early 2000s was simple, tough, and very different from Nairobi. No electricity, no modern comforts—just resilience, hard work, and community.
