What an honor to spend time with the incredible Dr. Ida Odinga today ✨
Every conversation with this remarkable woman is a masterclass in wisdom, grace, and unwavering dedication to service. Her decades of commitment to education, women’s empowerment, and social justice continue to inspire me deeply.
Dr. Odinga’s strength, resilience, and tireless work to make Kenya better for all of us is something I’ll always admire. She doesn’t just lead - she lifts others as she rises.
Grateful for mentors and leaders who show us what it means to serve with purpose and passion 🙏

In the company of greatness 🎨📽️ — hanging out at the gallery at Lifestyle Gigiri with the incredibly talented Rich Allela (award-winning photographer) and British filmmaker Daniel Wheeler, whose work captures stories that matter.

I started Lifestyle Gigiri with one mission: to give art a home.
A space where creatives can showcase their work, and where art lovers can come, connect, and experience it all.

This journey has just begun — and I’m looking to collaborate with investors and passionate art lovers who believe in the power of creativity to shape culture and community.

📩 If that’s you, let’s talk.

13 years later and still making magic happen! 🎬✨
Today I had the incredible joy of catching up with Mark Burman, the talented Hollywood film director I first met over a decade ago when we were shooting a pilot film together. Back then, I was organizing locations across Kenya while working alongside my good friend Bazzel Baz (Hollywood actor/stuntman extraordinaire).
It’s amazing how time flies and how the film industry brings people together across continents and years. Now Mark is back in Kenya with his beautiful wife Kay West, and it feels like no time has passed at all.
There’s something special about reconnecting with creative souls who share your passion for storytelling. Kenya continues to be a backdrop for incredible memories and meaningful connections. 🇰🇪
