 Yes, we are back with Tomorrow Why In The Morning for you. I go by the name of Barry Moses. It's my morning with social media platforms. Special thanks to Hilda, Wathithi and Sylvia for that informative interview about the beauty industry. So, Y2P4 channel on Twitter, Y2P4 underscore channel on Instagram, and Y2P4 on Facebook is the way to reach us. Don't forget the hashtag Why In The Morning and don't forget the hashtag EntrepreneurshipTuesday. So, right about now, I have a very powerful gentleman in the studio with me. He is a photographer but is also mentoring kids through teaching them another language that is not taught in our education system. He goes by the name Henry Wary all the way from Kaka-Mega County, represented on Why In The Morning. Karibu Sana. That's right, Sana. Thank you very much. Henry, if I missed anything, I'd like to give everybody a chance to introduce themselves and show off. Your camera is number four. Thank you very much. My name is Henry Joe Wary. Passionate Creative Director at Sir Henry Films. It's my own brand. I'm also a photographer at Queen Studio's Photography. That's where I currently work at the moment. I'm also a teacher by passion, not by... By training or profession? I haven't gone for training but it's just by passion. I'm also a photographer. A photographer. This is your main hustle, Henry. Right, out of all these things that you do, did you have to go to school for any of them? What I've studied actually is French until from four-level. That's the only level I've... All right. Which school is this that you learned to your French that gives you the confidence of standing in front of other kids and teaching of this language? I'm a proud alumni of St. Peter's Moumias Brice High School. Thanks to Mr. Wakesa. He's the one who taught me French. Shout out to Mr. Wakesa. Yeah, Moumias Wakesa. Henry's teacher. And now you're impacting the world. Through this particular language. But before we talk about how you're impacting the world and kids through teaching them French, I'd like to know, you grew up in Kakamega County. Yes, Kakamega when you were two, when you were five. I like how you sit up. All right, so how was it growing up in Kakamega County? And why did you choose to come and continue your hustle in a room? Kakamega life is kind of tricky. So, it was around in 2016 when I completed my form for level. And I happened to be placed to pursue my passion. Actually, since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a pilot. And I did well in high school. Though I was very stubborn, very much stubborn. Very stubborn. Mr. Naniyanajua, Mr. Wakesanajua. I'm Mr. Namunga, Dennis, my deputy principal. I've been so stubborn, but I happened to Kazana. I did fairly well and I was placed to pursue diploma in flight operation and dispatch at East African School of Aviation. But unfortunately, the school that I was placed at doesn't, I could barely help. So, due to financial constraints at home, I had no chance to join the school in Wakesanajua. Because that's actually what I wanted. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot. Apart from being a pilot, I also wanted to be a pilot. All right, so you would like to make these toys and you'd like to apply these toys? Yeah, it was always a passion. How did you feel like when you got locked from going into college and pursuing what you had dreamt for? Did you feel like your life had come to an end? Yeah, kind of. I was too down. Bearing in mind, my dad and I were graduate, I was a job, I was retired. So, there was no anywhere I could get funds. All right. And I really wanted to continue my studies and pursue my career as a pilot. How, at what point did you say, did you get over your aggravations and say, all right, I can do something with my hands? Let me pick up a camera. Okay, I wasn't passionate about photography, but now that it was the only option I was having, I had to make it my passion to pursue it as a career so that I can get cash to take me to school. So, I happened to have a small camera at home. I, it was a Sony Coolpix. So, I was updated. I used to go to Hassel. Hassel, and then I used to go to Paparazzi, Cooko Village, take photos of kids, 50 Bob, 50 Bob, and then I go wash them, and later on too. But then I saw, it was kind of getting taken. How opposed that for washing them? Not so many kids understand when you say wash because outside you want to do a smartphone, a go print, smartphone print. You were using a film camera? No, not really a film camera. It was a digital one. A digital one? It was a digital one. Then we have these now DSLR cameras, the big ones. I don't know what I'm having currently. All right. So, business was booming? Yes, business was good. I think it was $300 a day, it was good for me. This is back in the Kamega? Back in the Kamega when you were buying. All right, all right. Yeah. But I saw, I'm in Gizibizur, so I had to look for other extra hassles. So that I can get cash. I get a bigger camera, but partially I can't grow. Grow slowly. So, I opted to start with Django. I did the Matofali at home. I used to dig. It was around half an hectare. So I ended up cutting my boys' mango. So we had to dig to come to Matofali. We used to sell. It was around five shillings each. So it's natural. So you know that ritual as lawyers. So you're going to cut your boys' mangoes. All right. So you're going to cut your boys' mangoes. So I cut my boys' mangoes. So the bricks are made from clay. From clay, exactly. Did you have to get the machine to press them first? Why should we get from our machine and here to can improvise? So you improvised. You can fix the mangoes in the pan. You make the bricks, and then you burn them. Yeah. Like in the process of burning, do you sweat a lot when you go out? When I go out, I sweat a lot. I sweat a lot when I go out. Exactly. And then that is what you eat. Were you participating in farming as well? Yeah, farming. So you had chicken? Chicken, yeah. But zikko. Zikko, zikko. I'm not from time to time. I'm from time to time. I'm from Nikiandoko. I'm from Kaku. All right. Yeah. All ready. All right. I like this so much because you never gave up. You started hustling, but you had a vision. You wanted to go to the big city and do something. So finally, you got a chance to come to the big city. Did you tell your parents, now I want to go to Nairobi? And this is what I'm going to do. Did you have to have that conversation with them? Actually, to talk to mom and dad, I told them, mom, I'm getting old. Though, everybody is in a big train, but hopefully soon they will be here again. But you're just in your early twenties anyway. All right. So did they support that dream of yours? They did, but actually, cash was the issue. And you know, our family took Oengi. We are a football team. Plus sub. Plus. Went to a sub-stitute. A sub-stitute. All right. All right. So, you got a job, you got a job. I got a job because I was under a lot of pressure. I'm a grown-up. I'm above 18. So it was all my way out. All right. You got to Nairobi. And what was that thing that you said, if I get to Nairobi and I get a chance to do this thing, I'm going to make a way out for myself. And even my mom and dad. So before I came to Nairobi, I actually had a small note. Book I wrote down because I didn't let Nairobi. I first put women's scandal. And I also took photography. And I also say that I must do it. So, the list is number one. Number one is X. Number one is X. I love book I tell analysts. I tell analysts. Fresh. I hope you figure that you only have women in studio from the camera to the guys in the background. And they might not take this lightly. Why did you have to say women to the side first? I've been through a lot in relationships. All right. Yeah. And we are not going to talk about that. So, you feel like it was going to slow you down? It was going to kind of take away my energy. All right. All right. So, number two, what list do you have? Number two is photography. Doing the party a person. Then I get to school. Yeah. All right. So, you had your camera. You had bought your second camera. I didn't. It's the same camera at that moment. So, how I happened to be on social media, then I saw there's a guy who took a maju. I look when it was a camera. It was a Canon 700B. So, you're selling it at around 50K. So, I unboxed him. And with my little saving that I made, I wanted now to get a camera, then I come to Nairobi. So, I unboxed him on Facebook, we talked. Then I told me, yeah, come over Nairobi. I'm at the Haya Center. We can meet over there. Then I sell for you the camera. Why did you see this guy first? On Facebook. On Facebook. Yeah. Of social media. You're a fan of social media. So much so. He goes hand in hand with photography anyway. If you want. One side. Kittumawaja. All right. So, Facebook is very important for a photographer. We know that. You met this guy, got your camera. Were you scared of being frowned? Because... Actually, when I came to Nairobi, I stayed with my sister. She was living in Kaiole at that time. So, in 1960? Yeah, 1960, when I was in Apple. So, I told him. See, I told him to use the camera. But at a very cheap price. See, I told him to use the camera. And he said, yeah, I'm going to Nairobi. I'm going to take a village juice. I'm not going to get to Nairobi. So, he took a letter. A letter. But me, I just said, I must get it. So, I left. I went to Haya Center. We met at his place. I went to Haya Center. So, he accepted to sell for me the camera. At that time, I had around 16,000. But the camera was going for 50,000? Yeah, it was going for 50,000. So, I tried to explain to myself, you know, I'm not going to get it. I'm not going to get it. If I go to Nairobi, I can't afford it at the moment. So, he told me, you have 16K and the selling price is 50K. So, how will it work out? Then I took a letter and he told me he'll sell for me the camera at 40K. So, he told me, the best we can do is maybe give you this 16K. Then I look for the rest, 4,000. Then I give you 20K. Then I'll be paying in my instalments. So, God brought for me the platform already. So, he told me, go and sell for me the camera at 20K. So, he told me, go and sell for me the camera at 20K. Is this the camera you're talking about? Yeah, this is the camera. And this is the camera you bought when you got to Nairobi? Yeah, until I got to branding. And on an entry-vary photography, with the camera right there, you would understand the power of branding and the power of good equipment back then. I didn't understand and understood about it. But being raised in a big family, it's what has given me a lot of advantages. I get to learn a lot from my brothers, my elder brothers, meaning your last born son to learn from their mistakes. So, he's also a great guide. My brother, Zangu Piyad Vaisao, he tells me a lot. So, it helps you a lot to be part of your family. You're very grateful to be part of that family. I'm grateful. All right, I like this. When was this again? Here, it was a charity work. We had gone with a group called Boki Foundation. That's when I got passion into helping kids and mentoring kids. This is a Boki Foundation. So, you went to see kids here? Yeah, car west. Car west? We got a crew. This was a crew. How did you meet this group? This is a group of beautiful women. Because you're the only man in this picture. I'm too old. I'm too old to be. Yeah, I'm so influential. You're so influential and people just like the energy around you. People like me, like everywhere. Hendry, Hendry, hi. You've loved your trumpet, and I like this. But I thought you were the only one who could handle it. Anyway, that's the story for another day. So, here you want to give back to the kids. Which led to your next project now, in which you're teaching kids French, kids in children's home? That came in. I've been through a lot. When I came into Nairobi, I saw a photography. First of all, it was a season. It told me, you don't want to help me some work. I was helping her in a shop. Then she told me, you have to... You have to go home. But me, I think I have to go home and have a camera. Then I went home, and I was alone. I went to my mother's house. I said, no. There's something... There's something for you here. It's here to live. She didn't understand the vision. She didn't understand. But now she gets it, at least. Yeah, at least now she can understand. All right. So, sometimes people will not get your vision. They won't get your vision. But sometimes people will get your vision. Yeah, people will get your vision. Because it brings money every day. At least me, I ask for money. She gets something tangible. But sometimes you just need to stick to your vision. Which is a beautiful thing. Powerful, Henry Wary. WhiteFair4 channel on Twitter. WhiteFair4 underscore channel on Instagram. And WhiteFair4 on Facebook is the way to interact with us. Hashtag is why in the morning. Hashtag is entrepreneurship Tuesday. You can direct your questions to Henry Wary. And if you're watching us from Kaka-Mega County, today you're represented on why in the morning. So please chat, talk to us. Use your comments. Any questions are invited. So, Mr Henry. Yes. I'm really interested in this project that you're doing with the kids. In which you're teaching them French. Yes. Yes. Tell me how this works. Actually, this came through life in Mepetia. Nairobi. Sijakwana place. I've been surviving in one of the campuses I country. Mentioned. I've been sleeping on the Wi-Fi villas for quite a long time. In 2017, I was in Lalinga. Used normally as a boy and a girl. And I took pictures, photoshoots at the campus. Then I stayed there. And I stayed in the village. As a boy, I stayed there. I worked in the village. Is it what you're still doing right now? No. I thank God by now I can afford my own house. At Gongrod. Yeah, bed-sitter. Everybody starts that. Every successful person who started from the bottom. Has to start from a bed-sitter. Yes. And don't forget to take the images of that apartment. So that when you get to your big place, you've got to do it. I love documenting my story because I want to be a motivation in the speaking future. Just talk about my story, write a book. Get to inspire more people. All right. So currently, which children are you working with? I'm working with a shelter children's home in Kibikongong. I launched, I opened up a project called the French for Kids. Basically, I teach kids French. Just mentor them, take them through. Because I want to open larger opportunities for them to study abroad. And in the French-speaking countries. All right. Yeah, that will be a very huge advantage for them. All right. So you think learning different languages is advantageous to a kid? Because it opens more opportunities indoors to these kids. Yes. All right. So you're focusing on French? Or you speak English as well? English, yes. You speak swedish and luvia? And luvia. And some Spanish. And some Spanish. How did you get to learn Spanish? Spanish online. I'm self-taught. Oh, you're self-taught? Yeah. All right. So when you're not taking pictures, you're online trying to learn something. Ever. Always trying to learn something. Yeah. All right. What do you attribute to this? Like always being online, learning things. How has it helped you? Personality has helped me to grow mentally. Bearing in mind, I haven't been too high to campus. So it builds my brain. Daily, I get to learn new things. I learn from people's problems. I like Akote. Like, she inspires me a lot. I love her. Sorry. Like, I'm a talker. Now, as long as people are engaged. It's so nice. Yeah. It's so good that she wrote about Akote because she's a trendic topic. Yeah. And she's inspiring you. She's come from the bottom. Now, she's at the top and people are attacking her. Yeah. You know, most people are attacking her. Because maybe they think she's stealing different from them. You can't attack someone because she's stealing different from you. But as much as they think maybe she's over too much on social media. But she's doing her thing. So it makes her happy. It's okay. As long as she's happy, it's the best thing. Yes. To define yourself in a more morally upright way than anybody else. Yeah, exactly. All right. So what would you tell parents who tell their kids? You're always on social media. You're always on social media. You want to define yourself on social media. Do something. Do something. What would you tell parents like this? Actually, it depends how you raised up your kid. Because for me, we were raised up in a different way. We were taught for attitude, be for behavior, see for character, and be for self-dependence. And that's how it's brought. So when I get to social media now. Powerful words right there. You can bring me up to speed again. A for attitude. A for attitude. B for behavior. B for behavior. C for character. And D for self-dependence. Self-dependence. All right. Wonderful. So that's how you raised. So when you, anything you do, you always remember the four. I remember the four. Your attitude is very important. Very much important. Your behavior is very important. It determines the kind of people you meet. And the people you'll have around you. Yeah, you'll hang around with them. All right. What is the next one? Character. Character. And dependence. Dependence. I'm interested in attitude. What is this attitude all about? Your attitude towards what? How you react to issues. Like something has to be off. Then you overreact. You know your reactions. You shouldn't allow your reactions to control you. Actually, you should be a short-tempered guy. Yeah. Right. So you just, you interact with something. Think about it. Think it through first. Yeah. Before you act. Before you act. Towards it. Yeah. Powerful, man. I like this. What people don't know about you is that you're also a comedian. Yes, I'm a comedian. I love seeing people happy. That's it. Seeing someone smile, that's my joy. All right. That's why I do more of travel photography. I don't know if there's a slideshow for that. All right. Maybe you can project the pictures. That's why you do. Picture stories. Humanitarian photography. Humanitarian photography. Yeah, it takes stories. So you like to put smiles on people's faces. Smiles. Even when you're just holding a camera to their face and tell them, smile. Even when they're not happy. I must put a joke. All right. I must joke around my clients. I engage them. Oh, so the comedy helps during photography sessions. You crack jokes. Instead of telling people, smile. You crack a joke and they smile. They smile too much. Capture that moment. All right. Wonderful. That's a wonderful approach to whatever you do. Her. So what next for you as a brand? As a brand, I had to rebrand myself as Henry Films from Henry Warray Photography. Because I started doing photography. Then I got to videography. Cutting of Matalab Films. Shout out to Matalab Films. And Dashie Photography. Thanks. I don't have any idea that the only friends I have so far had to reduce my surrounding. Your circle. To grow my circle. And they are both 30, 30, 40. So to our age angle, like, we can't communicate the same because of the life I'm going through. Like someone at 20, at my age now, I try to pick for them my ideas. I told them when I started the French project, I wrote on my social media account. I said, anyone doing French kindly come in. I'm setting up a project at Sheldah Cherry's home. We met our kids. No one ever responded to that. But the moment I had an achievement to meet the ambassador of France at the embassy some two weeks ago. Then I posted that on my social media. People were like, I'm proud of you, bro. You're doing good. Like, people always want to celebrate you, but no one will always support you from your humble beginnings. All right. So people want to celebrate their achievements. They don't want to be part of the journey. They don't want to be part. People like shortcuts in short. All right. So that's why I had to put off some people. And just be liberal as a learner. And I do my thing. All right. So you prefer to surround yourself with people who are older than you? Older people. I just get a lot of content. You get a lot of content. Ideas. Ideas and mentorship as well. Mentorship, exactly. So you'd advise people to have at least people with experience around them. At least two people with experience around them. Yeah. I came up with that idea. 2018, I said, this is 2018. It's my year. I must be successful. I must go to France this year. I'm praying for that. I must have my own company as much as I'm working under Queen Studios right now. But I must push myself. So these are, I made these resolutions when my friends. When I need one now. So after I could go to campus, survive in my campus, I went to stay at this place. But I didn't need it. But all that time, I was planning to go to Fukuza. So I came to know this letter in February. So I was just pitching how I was going to go there. So I came to know that it was painful. And Fukuza was like a brother to me. To me, it was high school, all that long. Then I went there. So I came to, like my best, I don't trust anyone. The only thing I trust is my own money. Yeah. I don't have money. I don't have money. Alright, I like this. The only thing you trust now is my own money. Humans are going to let you down. Yeah, humans will let you down always. This guy, I don't trust anyone. I don't trust anyone. But it's okay. Out of all these things you've been through, from going from coach surfing, like sleeping outside, not having a home to go to, all these things you've learned, all the time. It's over time. It's a process. You must make mistakes. How have they built you to this person you are today? Actually, I'm proud. Because mostly when I talk, people are like, is that really you talking? I chat mostly with her. I have very many Facebook friends. I chat to them. When we meet, they say, I expected you to be around 27. I expected you to be 28 years. We are key listeners. All these experiences. They've opened your mind so much. So the process is always very important. Just trust the process. And you're still in the process. Consistency and positive daily habits. Your social media platforms, your camera is number four. From the comedy one to the photography one, to this project that you have with kids, and please invite people to come assist you in this project that you have with kids because it's an amazing project. Okay. My social media platforms are Henry's photography, Henry films, all over Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Comedy, comedy start when you're not aware. That's why I do comedy, but not verbal comedy. Mostly I deal with verbal. When I talk to people, I say, how is this here? So you're always considering people to those who are able to do it. The neglected part of the society. To drink as aware. And my Facebook account is aware.jo Henry. I love my name. You love your name. And it's going to be a brand. And it's going to be the name of your company when you make it. When I make it, Sir Henry films. And the French project, it's French for kids. I'm under great total. Great total mentorship. We teach kids apart from French. Modeling, singing, dancing. Other aspects of life in which they can use to make money as well.
