Description
This is a story of courage, conviction, and calling; an unflinching account of a young woman’s bold entry into the unforgiving world of Kenyan politics. Long before society was ready for her kind of leadership, she stepped into rooms where decisions were made, where pain, betrayal and negotiations danced hand in hand, and where truth often fell silent. In this deeply personal yet universally relevant memoir, she opens her heart and history to reveal the raw costs of public service the emotional scars, the psychological strain, and the cultural battles that women and young leaders must navigate. She exposes the double standards that reduce women to tokens, challenges traditions that exclude, and calls out a political system rigged against authenticity. Yet, through every wound and whisper of doubt, she chooses to hope and to show up.
She speaks candidly about gender-based violence; not just as physical harm, but as the sum of silencing, shame, and social exclusion. Drawing from real petitions, personal defeats, and moments of divine reflection, she writes not as a victim, but as a visionary. Drawing from her interactions with heads of state, political party leaders, diplomats, representatives from government and non-governmental organizations, scholars, community elders and prominent global women leaders.
CATHY IRÚNGÚ
Cathy offers insight into the dynamics influencing Kenya’s future. She interrogates voter behavior, unpacks the dysfunction of political parties. and questions the true independence of electoral institutions.
Her experiences highlight the need for a redefined leadership; one that values service above status, champions justice instead of raw power, and puts the interests of the people ahead of personal gain. Her message is urgent and empowering: Kenya needs servant leaders who lead with heart. This is her rallying cry to every woman, every young person, and every citizen disillusioned by politics: Do your part. Show up. Because real change starts when good people stop waiting and start leading.
