Hey my great people

Leadership is not about having all the answers. It's about learning how to bring people together to create solutions.

Over the past two days, I had the privilege of participating in the Agi-RE Facilitators Training, organized by in partnership with the -EU Youth Voices Lab – Power of the Collective.

The training was an enriching experience that strengthened my understanding of collective intelligence, design thinking, community organizing, facilitation skills, youth mobilization, collaborative learning, debate facilitation, vision and mission development, retro-planning, monitoring, and coordination.

One lesson stood out to me: meaningful change begins when communities are empowered to identify their own challenges, co-create solutions, and take collective action.

I look forward to applying these lessons in our work with students and communities across Kenya, building stronger movements that champion healthier, safer, and more equitable food systems.

My sincere appreciation to Africa, the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab – Power of the Collective, the facilitators, and fellow participants for creating such a practical and inspiring learning experience.

The training may have ended, but the responsibility to create impact is only beginning.

Serikali ikikosa kusimamia food policy,
wananchi wanakula disease pole pole. 🥲

I have been reflecting a lot about motivation and leadership, and one idea that keeps challenging me is the 10X Rule. It simply means that if I want to achieve something meaningful, the level of effort I put in should be far greater than what I initially think is required. Real progress rarely comes from doing the minimum; it comes from consistent and massive action.

In my journey, I have realized that leadership is not about titles or recognition. It is about responsibility. It is about showing up every day with commitment, even when the work is difficult and the results are not immediate. The 10X mindset reminds me that if I want to create impact, I cannot operate at an average level of effort. I must think bigger, work harder, and remain consistent.

As a young person passionate about health advocacy and creating awareness around nutrition and non-communicable diseases, I understand that ideas alone are not enough. Systems change when people are willing to go beyond what is expected. That means speaking up more, learning more, collaborating more, and taking action even when progress feels slow.

For me, the 10X Rule is not just about working harder. It is about believing that the change we want to see in our communities requires greater commitment than we sometimes imagine. Leadership therefore becomes a daily decision to do more, learn more, and contribute more than what is comfortable.

Because in the end, small effort creates small results, but consistent 10X effort has the power to create real transformation.
