Njeri Wangari, aka The Kenyan Poet, was doing very well in her IT career and pursuing her side-passion for telling Kenyan stories and poetry when the bug to start her own story-telling platform hit her. She then commenced the gruelling journey towards building an app that would supply the country's children with the very best of our indigenous knowledge, complete with all the bells and whistles, and even felt compelled to quit her job to pursue her passion project full-time at one point.
What followed was a series of disappointments that saw her lose millions, strain her marriage... and eventually come to the reckoning that she had been royally conned by one of her service providers. She has since recovered and resumed the journey - but this time, with the knowledge of hindsight fuelling her scaled down, much more practical project.
This is her story.
