Reseña del libro "Born to Be Unstoppable: My Kenyan Story, Global Journey and Life's Legacy (en Inglés)"

Known internationally as a motivational speaker and the founder of the Maji Mazuri organization, Wanjiku Kironyo has been described as a remarkable and inspiring woman. As an indomitable force in the lives of thousands of forgotten Kenyan people, Wanjiku is a woman who strives to change the mindset of those who see poverty and deprivation as their life destiny. This intimate memoir tells how Wanjiku found her own destiny; a destiny much bigger than the one she envisioned as a little girl growing up in a remote Kenyan village, during the time of the Mau Mau War. Wanjiku reveals how a chance encounter gave her opportunities that surpassed her imagination and how her own hard work transformed those opportunities into success. She speaks of the culture shock she experienced as a university student in California, the lessons she learned as a foreigner living in America, and her heartfelt decision to return to Kenya to make a positive difference in her home country. Working as a Social Science lecturer at the University of Nairobi, Wanjiku chose to carry out her field study in Mathare Valley, the world's second-largest squatter slum. Here she brought hope to desperate women who had turned to brewing illicit beer and prostitution in order to support their children. As she continues to strive to transform the lives of marginalized Kenyans, Wanjiku's life is a testament to the transformative power of self-determination and the philanthropic spirit. Born to Be Unstoppable is the story of Wanjiku Kironyo's deeply felt personal and professional struggle against neglect and human deprivation, a battle she is determined to win. In this moving memoir she chronicles her Kenyan story, her global journey and her life's legacy.
