Nipia party, kujibama na wana funds nipasiba bukongu hii ni personal, kuh growing up apu kijijini, kuhiyo shule as a seven-year-old boy, mone ya medile ya kutokupia miyaka saba. So, ili kwanji ya kutaka kuhili kuhinspa ya wa se. Kwanye shawatu tutudi, tukumbu kipurudi maali tumetoka, ni zima shule na gundogu, kwanza kwa alia metoka, vijijini kama sisi, na tukam naked, kwenye shia awa wengino ni wa kwenye maietu, that everything is possible. And for me, it's really personal. Kwa sabi hukunu hulu kwa nulizda, mwana wana piyana uniform zi wana wisi chukwe, vitu zi ni wufanya ya ma kusahidi awa tu kusoma. It's personal kwa sabu na jwa nili sababila school uniforms. Kutoka ukiwa 7 yas miyaza maisha, uko pekiaka wana wazazi. So, para school uniforms zili kwa, school uniforms zili kwa angumu. So, that's why we have this initiative and we can say man, if you want to collect a machinani, you have to wear the kusahidi ya. Other people to become the boys who will be lived and the girls who will be lived. Yes. So, last year to last year, last year it was 60. 60 pupils. So, this initiative is full uniform. So, kamaewa ni, amam wulana tunaki kisha kona short. Amma trouser depending on what you guys wear. Na shat. This year to mefanya at least minimum from what we to my sabu so far 150. Na wile ni me sema piyat kufanya sanitary pads at least over 200 girls. To mefanya, to mefanya entertainment, sana, to mekula mikata na maziwa. But most importantly, new mentorship aspect.

Tula state lifanya, mostly orphans, amma ni akuna singo parent, alafu dizia tukongiza wani sasa akuna uniforme mombazo aziko sawa. So, mentorship mostly I like using my personal story which is what you know the book the boy believed and tells because ni raisi kwa gukwa sabu mimi li kuwa po wana wili ni me sema growing up as a 7-year-old boy in the village without anyone to take care of you and growing to go to the U.S. and study there, wika patak degree akunza ni me fanya masters and working in Wall Street I remember ni kiwa wakatimenda kufanya kazi in Mali li kuwa nakak very few actually Kenyans wana fanya kazi Wall Street so I started, nona ni leki to sometimes na chikulia bituze na fanya zinaka ni ki dog, but it's a big thing kwa mitutomanya kwa palia kijiji nimo yana jua. You know, kijana me wu msediza me piti apa to show them that it's also possible for them to be a great as well. Yes. Yeah, to we go to Kifanya actually nili fanya the opposite to Lians and Nairobi, to li go to mefanya events na ya kodida that's how we started to mefanya we did tournaments to li fanya tournaments na ya kodida I think 2022 I went there ni kanulia a lot of teams in Kibera na Madare, Jazizza, Zafuta and then from there to Kanza, Mashule, around and then sasa ni gaulani bituza pia to focus kuru di nyumbani, so ni me rudi kufanya initiatives, nyumbani actually last year most thing mekwa ni kufanya other places my goal and my dream ni kufanya across the country and especially to our watu yang niyang because it's very easy shape our say and also ni easy for us because we want to achieve something so it's easy to mentor these people and show them actually they can also make it you have a specific target in one year ten years? I don't have a number per se because pia ni limitation at time so how must I I flew in on I think over the weekend last week the next day the next day bara bara ni hiyanda kufanya event most of the time na kudia Kenya na kudia like 2 weeks in a limit how much how long I can go so my dream ni kufanya such that I don't have to be here na kama ni nini tu na pangakuna kufanya zayanda mahali tu na fanya event such that I don't have to be here as long as there is resources nani miwa na wakanya niwa kusahidi asana yes nili provide uniforms but kama mi kata zote zili 800 likuwanazo maziwa 800 pcs likuwanazo tens na kila kitu niwa likuwan the contribute so na wasipia niwa na wakawili so if there is a way we can find people that we can partner with even different counties likuwara isi so that I don't have to get all the way to from New York City to our facility event good since we did the first interview during the launch I think I think over 10 countries across the world U.S. is the biggest market of course because of Amazon followed by Kenya and then now UK Japan, Australia other countries come in ni more than I expected when I was writing this book it's really humbling and especially the fact that in Kenya and it's doing better outside here it's a dream country people don't believe the story on a Korean fake because you tell someone you raise yourself from the age of 7 and then when you read the book because it's really raw and real so some people read the book and they think it's scripted because I've been doing interviews so it's easy to trace my story it's so hard to lie because everything is online a lot of people have meaning especially last year we really did very well this year I slowed down on marketing but it's now not really a good user in New York but it's really doing well what are the a movie the boy who believed I'm really hoping that I can work with some of our producers and creators in Kenya last year I was to do a meeting with a few of them we see how we can organize in Japan and appear budget wise but I'm hope that didn't happen because again time will be issue but before I leave next week I will try to make sure I schedule and see within probably the next one or two years I'm hoping sometime this year yes, I'm hoping this year in a different county but I'm hoping it can be more a partnership with some other people so that can because someone here actually might have a story from where you come from so when I could you name me how about you help me go to my school you know we see what we can chip in and then we go help you do the same thing so you can name me Tunapeleka so you can name me Tunapeleka and Afanya Kwa so that also we can inspire other people who are in the Kwa because it doesn't have to be a lot at a kama ni uniform transfer na kumise you can get shoes, you can get sports, you can just go there to sing and to dance let us out I said something I don't know if I should say it again but I have a few friends I will mention something without mentioning her name Laka maya kwa na nyumbani kwa na miongiana a few politicians wawuko and one former women rep promised me 5 uniforms 5 uniforms and then when I reached out to her our plan was to do something very big so we were going to have a bigger crowd and then along the way to kama wacha easy resources not as the andekwa uniforms but like funding the tents and all those things so to reduce crowd out on akuja she asked us to refund the 5000 after puski akuna crowd again I won't mention the name but it's a former women rep and the fact that shulekumero so you can connect the dots and to refund the money for 5 uniforms and to refund the money so emekwa very hard because sometimes people think it's political but it has nothing to do with politics I'm not buying for any seat it's just that we are trying to show other people that there is something we can do for ourselves even without the political side of the story yeah oof, yeah really trade mark genam said easy because emekwa di kitumia for a while and I was afraid that I might lose it after to my younger brand to learn the trade marking in 2022 at kama lisia last year I don't remember the exact cost because nalipa in stages but the biggest cost the lawyers are handling and running everything around but the motive to trade mark the word emekwa di kitumia not really so that what was itumia kwa wana jukunwa wali wakatili kwa yo nusili tokan jukunwa wali sema nawa nyanganya jina eksoili enia kilamto na tomiya but it's just for kumashia purposes so you cannot use the word emekwa di for anything that is money making but you can use it for language for creativity as long as it doesn't fall within even if it's music you can use it but as long as it's not something you're making money out of yeah what happened muziki liguangumu the last time nilifajasong ilikuwa 2020 ili video ya niko singo and then nika shift attention I have passion for music so I used to do those things nikiwa high school after high school but then corporate many shika so I decided to focus more on investment banking kwa sabubu piya pesa naji yo muziki piya sometimes in ikuangumu especially when it comes to monetization so but I hope one day interuidi kuimba wow my friends umuona djimo is mentioned djimo did something that was instrumental to me nasumaga niali na naita na irobi aliku janga he is a campus tour sometimes baka kani para niki imba he took me to jumbo jumbo ilikuwa jumbo ilikuwa jumbo and then that's what actually I met Jeff so jumbo akani li piya track bili and then unfortunately wakata sasani kuataku lunch music career bia sasani tuka kenyanika in the US but na momba li na a lot of other people akinawa higa they've been so supportive even in my other events come at the book launch and I'm very grateful actually kumutu mone ame niseidi in one or the other sii naji me ikuwe pesa hata ili kwa mone siya you know where to go when you need something kitu omusho ni kusama tu asante ni sana ko alewatu na jitoke zanga kusapot initiative kama isi giving back and to all the people that bought my book I was so surprised we sold over a thousand copies during the launch which I didn't see coming because we didn't do serious marketing so ni asante sana ko kila mutu ame suma kitabu ya ebu will be lived so here's the book so this is the US version there's a kenyan version a bit smaller but it's a great book so recommend for anyone to you know try get a copy in kenyan wazipata from Nuriya and then you can also buy it from Amazon so that will be my request for you so get a copy for you and for your loved ones and then see lastly ni kusama don't give up in whatever you're going through so minasaman I live by three words and vision believe actualize leoni kiyamini that I can be the president of this country and I believe it I know I can be it so you envision it believe it and actualize it and thank you so much
