Hello Steemit family!
My name is Florence Kamaitha from Nairobi, Kenya. I know many people associate Kenya with Obama but trust me, he was not born in Kenya. lol!
I run a social enterprise where we produce low cost sanitary pads and work mainly with inmates and ex inmates in an effort to rehabilitate them and avoid re-offence. i started it as an initiative and have run it as a social enterprise for the last two years. Of late i have been debating whether this is all i want to do. A social enterprise has its challenges and many confuse it with a charity, and i guess i am getting to a point where i am feeling uninspired, little motivation and all. I will write about the business later.
I live in Nairobi, a vibrant town with great minds. i love hanging out with fellow entrepreneurs who challenge me and push me to keep innovating and growing.
I am single or let me just say, in a situationship. i live with my two cats. Jojo and Lulu. i did not know what i was getting myself into when i adopted the cats. They are fun to be with but they are a handful. Last month i traveled for a week, and i was worried about them. We don't have cat sitters around, so i asked my ex to pop in daily and feed them. it was a very awkward conversation because he really hates cats. They sleep around like they pay rent. he he.
I enjoy dancing. Wine and dancing are probably my favourite things to do right now. i have three crazy friends who also double up as my business partners. We have a digital agency together and we promote brands online. i also have a blog where i write about business. www.herbusiness.co.ke . I try to write as often as i can.
I love being here. My friend Verengai introduced me. I hope to connect, share and learn from all of you!
