I am a trans-disciplinary public intellectual whose work traverses with ease social, political and economic models, with over 20 years’ experience in the not-for-profit sector in Africa. I have engaged robustly in development, public policy, social and applied research, natural resources, strategy, capacity, innovations and mentoring. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Land and Agrarian Studies, from the University of Western Cape, SA. I founded and managed Ujamaa Center, a social justice Public Benefit Organization in Kenya for 15 years at which I encouraged the evolution of novel and precedent-setting social programs that animate informed and engaged communities with the scholarship to link theory of change to everyday problems (i.e. transformative consciousness and civic engagement).
