A Dream to Empower Diaspora Kenyans, Africans to Excel

She is not following the path most Kenyans and Africans in the diaspora do. Her desire is not to become a doctor, nurse, lawyer, professor or accountant.

Lucy Kitavi’s dream job is the opportunity to motivate others to excel. Her passion is powered by the desire to empower Africans in the diaspora to act on their dreams, shape their destiny and not limit their potential to day-to-day survival.

“America is still a land of plenty of opportunities. We have been putting artificial limitations on ourselves for far too long. It’s about time we unleashed the sleeping heroes in us and followed our dreams. Our attitudes have to change and we should set our bar higher,” says a confident Lucy.
Lucy Kitavi was born and raised in Narok, Kenya to a young Maasai woman. She graduated from Kenya Polytechnic University with a degree in institutional management and is currently the staffing coordinator at Presbyterian Homes in Minnesota, USA.

Lucy has been featured as a motivational speaker by Hennepin County Medical Center, University of St. Catherine and the Uganda Women’s Association. She officially launches her dream of becoming an independent motivational speaker this month and would like to see Kenyans and other Africans come out to support each other’s dreams. The event is free and open to the public with complimentary refreshments.
