Still Becoming: Embracing the Journey of Impactful Leadership

Driven by a deep passion to give back to my community in Kenya, I initially believed I lacked the skills to lead and was afraid of speaking up. My perspective transformed when I joined the university and completed the Aspire Leadership Program, where I learned that leadership is not a birthright or a formal title, but a deliberate decision rooted in influence, purpose, and positive impact. Today, as an undergraduate student, I am actively breaking down the misconception that women cannot lead by guiding community projects, teaching digital literacy skills to children, and prioritizing mental health—proving that I am still on a continuous journey of growth and becoming an impactful leader.
