                                            My dear creatives,
Here's my Journey as a Creative  "The Untold Truth"
It hasnât been an easy road.
When I started, I had nothing but curiosity and determination. I began with graphic design, then slowly taught myself video editing. No one held my hand, I learned by practicing on my own platforms: YouTube, Facebook, TikTok... anywhere I could post and grow.
Over time, I got better. I started offering my services to clients, and thatâs when I realized something: the creative market is not for the faint-hearted. 
Itâs full of people who feel threatened when they see someone with real skill.
Iâve been tested, set up, underpaid, and even falsely accused just because I refused to play small. Some battles were so intense that the CEOs didnât even know what was going on behind the scenes. The truth? Itâs often not about whoâs best for the job; itâs about who they want to stay. Sadly, at the end of it all, itâs the company that loses.
There was a time I was desperate for those corporate jobs⊠until I learned one thing: âNo forcing.â
Whatâs meant for you will find you; just keep your value intact.
Today, I run with a team. I mentor young people learning design and video editing. I share these frustrations not for pity, but as a lesson.
If youâre a creative reading this and you feel underpaid, unappreciated, or taken for granted, please respect yourself enough to walk away.
Your skills are valuable. No one knows the pain, hours, and sacrifice you put in to master them.
Respect and value go hand in hand.
This weekend, Iâm honored to be invited to a Creative Conference in Kisumu  to share, connect, and inspire others walking this same path.
To every creative out there:
Keep building, keep learning, and never settle for less than your worth. đȘ
