"My name is Trizah Wambui, a professional hairdresser from Mwiki in Kiambu County. I have always had an interest in taking up a leadership role in our community but a fear of being criticized for not being eloquent or not good enough made me shy away from it. However after I joined GROOTS Kenya in 2016 under the transformative Leadership Program, I was inspired to take up community leadership roles very seriously. This was because, in my area, we had very few women and youth who showed an interest in community and political leadership and most of the time, women and the youth would end up represented.
GROOTS took me through numerous training and as a result, I was nominated by GROOTs to take the lead in collecting data and monitoring SDGs Delivery in Kiambu. Through this process, i became aware of the issues affecting women and youth from my Mwiki, on top of the list remained unemployment for the youth and unequal representation of women in leadership roles.
In the coming General elections, I wish to vie for the MCA ward in Mwiki so as to be able to represent both the youth and women and also be able to champion their demands and needs at the county assembly.'
