The Art of Multitasking

She did not go to university simply to collect a qualification. By her own account she went on a mission to find herself, and to redefine what greatness was going to mean for her. That framing is the whole story, because everything that followed came from treating four years as a workshop rather than a queue.

The method was unglamorous. She put God and her studies first and vowed never to miss a class, on the reasoning that catching up later would eat exactly the hours her other work needed. That one rule is what bought her the room to write, to compete, to lead and to organise medical camps without any of it collapsing.

What grew in that room was a poet. Her earliest filmed pieces are about faith, procrastination and mental health, and she writes and performs in both English and Kiswahili rather than picking a lane. By the time Africa's Campus Battle came through, she was ready for it.

She went to the grand finale in Nairobi as the only competitor representing Tanzania and won Season 6 outright with a set built on Zero Hunger, taking home USD 2,000, a fully paid trip to London, and the Anthony Athaide Trophy for her university. In the same stretch she wrote, published and launched The Rollercoaster.

When the 19th MUHAS graduation came, the university asked her to speak for the whole class. She now practises as a pharmacist, hosts weddings internationally as a certified MC, works as a digital marketing strategist, and is still writing.
