Humility in the face of success is one of the markings of a true leader. The ability, not only to motivate oneself, but to also motivate others is yet another. Dorothy Ghettuba has these and a lot more as she features yet again in the 2014 Top 40 Women under 40 list.

If you have ever had to struggle with the direction in which your life is going, either personally or professionally then you would understand this dynamic lady’s journey. She started off her professional career in a way that most Kenyans can resonate with- she was stuck in job that she hated. But she did something that many people would never dream of doing. She up and left; she quit her job as an insurance underwriter and never looked back.

About a week ago, the last scene of season 1 SUMU LA PENZI was filmed, and the director called it a wrap. But this hardly means the end of the show. If anything it is the beginning of new and exciting prospects. Not only is season two slated to commence soon, but this week, SUMU LA PENZI was nominated for the KALASHA Awards 2014 as the best drama series.

Wanjiku Mbugua runs a tight ship. As the head of set design, her job is both simple and complicated in the same breath. She makes empty spaces look like real homes, offices, parking lots. You name it, she can make it. It all sounds simple enough, especially when you are watching it as the viewer. Seeing a beautiful living room, with beautiful décor and beautiful people acting out a beautiful scene. We get lost is all the beauty, all the color, all the glamor. That is great, especially for Wanjiku “Shiku” Mbugua, because it means she has done her part perfectly. It is unfathomable to some of us to think that the beautiful spaces we see on screen are actually just a façade, and at the end of the day, are empty spaces dressed up or down to suit the scene being acted out.
