    Just browsing and saw the name. I am glad I watched this. The name have nothing to do with the dedication I noted.
    Nana, I do not know you but knew your grandma and granddad your Dad and Auntie Noni. That was during the 60/70s. I must say you are one in a million young Kenyans who has passion and energy that's rare. Having listened to you and your history, you are the best example of a determined young intellectual of your time who needed to be where she could burn her energy. To love your job not for personal reasons but to prosper Kenya in Tourism Industry is a credit of high degree. You are talented, well spoken, beautifully humble as you present yourself. A job well done by a young CEO. You are still young and excited with much energy. Look for another spot to elevate in our beloved Kenya. We should be on the world map again for best reasons badly needed today.

    The immediate Kenyatta family are actually very financially disciplined and not into flaunting their wealth. Especially the Mama Ngina clan. She guards that wealth like a hawk and is the engine behind that business empire. Mzee Jomo left her land but she turned that around to a business empire with REAL businesses. Udi Gecaga seems to have raised this lovely and level headed lady with similar discipline. This govt could use her natural talent in the Tourism sector but sadly the UDA manufactured class warfare does not allow "Dynasties" in the fake "Hustler" space. Otherwise great conversation. btw, her mom (Jenny) was also a GREAT sprinter in her day.

      Um, when the family patron bought land with his eyes, you're taught to not flaunt your wealth otherwise old wounds might be opened and just like that you lose everything. Remember Mugabe sons. Sadam sons. But kudos to them for doing they home work and not going that way.

    I learned a lot. There was a lot I didn't know about Nana. Like she was a top sprinter. She mentioned Jennifer Hudson. Not many people know that Jennifer's now ex-husband is half-Kenyan, from a Kenyan father.
    I had no idea that Wyclef Jean came to Kenya. Must have been when I was abroad for school, coincidentally where Nana said she went to high school, Boston, Massachusetts. The university that her uncle attended, Amherst isn't that far away from Boston, probably nearer than Naivasha is from Nairobi. I make a joke about Wyclef Jean, that Kenyan policemen going to Haiti are just answering the call in his song _Please call 911_ .
    47:34 She's right. Kenya exports top notch hospitality professionals, across the world. I know someone in Switzerland. Just recently I learned (from the Chams Media channel) that the GM of a top hotel in _Azerbaijan_ is Kenyan, and he applied for the job from Kenya. I've randomly learned of many, even across Africa.
