traveling and making connections, public speaking.
I have worked in an environment where I traveled a lot and as a result I developed the love for travelling and meeting new people, seeing places and learning how other people live in other parts of the country and abroad as a result I try to do it often with family and friends exploring our beautiful country.
A friend discovered that I work with communities and as a result am familiar with public speaking, she invited me to speak at a wedding of her family member and I have been doing it ever since whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Due to working with different communities around the country in my line of work, I learned how important communication is when you are in unfamiliar environment and working with different communities. I learned to use it to my advantage especially when we needed to robe in Chiefs and communities when we were rolling out community outreaches in mostly rural areas.
