What you need to know:

  • I was an ardent reader of the newspapers which arrived one day late because it is the buses that delivered the papers to Mandera.
  • I also took advantage of the debate club to air what I believed in. I started writing at the age of 10.
  • By the time I enrolled for secondary education, I had three manuscripts ready for publishing.
  • Financial constraints became a major setback.
