ABOUT ME

I am a Maasai cultural youth leader,leading the youngest age group currently.I was appointed leader by elders in my absence and was sent for in school to participate in the initiation ceremony in 2004.This makes me a leader of the group for life.I still live in the traditional house in the village.I am sociable by any means,friendly,humorous,outspoken and very generous with ideas.Out of the village, I am a freelancer in many fields,I lecture young students on positive,good and practical cultural practices for them to be able to embrace the beautiful maasai culture and sustain it.I take friends to nature expeditions in the vast maasai country,In my capacity as a leader, I mediate between communities for peaceful co-existence in the Riftvalley province in Kenya as well as being a Social worker and a freelance journalist on Peace issues for local dailies.I believe in God and His marvelous works.I trust my potential. My greatest achievement is meeting former America's president Barrack Obama during my fellowship as a young Africa Leader (Mandela Washington Fellowship Class of 2015)
