From Secretary to Entrepreneurial Success

-

 



Born and raised with a determined spirit, Eunice's journey from a secretary to a thriving entrepreneur is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the power of strategic training. When health challenges forced her to leave her office job, and her husband's illness brought financial strain, Eunice was at a crossroads. But in her moment of uncertainty, she discovered Business for Life (BFL)—a program that would transform her life.

Taking a leap of faith, Eunice applied for the BFL training, a decision she now credits as the turning point in her career. Armed with the lessons from the program, Eunice started selling samosas around Joska, earning her the affectionate nickname “Mama Samosa.” Her determination and consistency soon led her to establish a small hotel near a school, a venture that quickly became a reliable source of income for her family.

"The training taught me critical business skills that I apply daily," Eunice shares. "Consistency, record-keeping, and separating personal finances from business have been game-changers. The follow-up visits from BFL trainers kept me motivated and equipped to face challenges.”

Eunice's impact extends beyond her business. She is passionate about inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs. "As parents, we must rethink how we prepare our children for the future. It's not just about education; it's about teaching them business skills early. Let them sell something, involve them in your ventures—it's a life lesson that pays off."

                             

Today, Eunice is a successful businesswoman and a role model in her community, showing how resilience and the proper guidance can lead to transformation. Through her journey, she exemplifies how empowerment programs like Business for Life can equip individuals to overcome challenges and build sustainable futures.

Eunice’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact of initiatives that support entrepreneurship.

By investing in programs like BFL, we can continue to create opportunities for people like Eunice to thrive and inspire others.

AI-Driven Disinformation and Democratic Backsliding: A Global Research Imperative

 In recent years, democracy has faced unprecedented challenges globally due to the rise of disinformation , especially that enabled by artificial intelligence. Scholars are increasingly concerned that AI-generated fake news and deepfakes are not only distorting public discourse but also accelerating polarization and undermining trust in institutions. Research reveals that authoritarian regimes are using AI tools to engineer propaganda, while democratic societies struggle to regulate platforms that amplify misleading or false political content. The phenomenon of democratic backsliding is tightly linked with the spread of digital misinformation. Where free press and civil liberties once held democratic actors accountable, now AI-enabled disinformation campaigns can silence dissent, promote conspiracy theories, and manipulate election outcomes. Comparative studies show that in many countries, digital media regulation has failed to keep pace with technological innovation, resulting...

But dreams can sour. Part 2: The Forgotten Dream – The Birth of Saba Saba By the 1980s, Kenya was no longer that hopeful young nation. Instead, it was ruled by a one-party system under President  Daniel Arap Moi . There was no room for opposition, no freedom to speak your mind, and no true democracy. The government crushed critics. Dissent was dangerous.                              Then came the moment that would change everything On July 7, 1990,   that’s Saba Saba in Swahili, thousands of brave Kenyans gathered to demand multiparty democracy . People were tired of oppression, corruption, and silence. They marched through the streets despite the threat of police violence, beatings, and arrests. It was bloody. It was bold. And it worked. By the early 1990s, Kenya’s political system began to open up, allowing for multiple parties and elections. The day— Saba Saba —became a symbol of courage, resista...
