Kenya’s Independent Lynn Ngugi is over the moon as she makes it to BBC’s top 100 women in the world in 2021. Lynn could not hide her joy anymore since this is a huge achievement. Only few  African women made it to the list. Lynn has achieved a lot considering the challenges that Independent journalists undergo here in Kenya.  She formerly worked for tuko on covering stories before she decided to quit to establish her brand. Her stories have been touching a lot of lives and inspiring Kenyans. She managed to get close to 300k subscribers in just a few months and her videos get hundreds of thousands of views every week.

I am not even going to lie right now, I never thought I would be in this category. How?

I mean, who would have thought I would one day be acknowledged among other 99 influential women globally?

To God be the glory

Thank you Lord

Not sure I will ever get over this day

Few days ago, someone asked me why I love doing what I do, and I proudly replied, “because my work offers me the ability to tell our own stories in an authentic manner and with no shame

Today was amazing( still)

I hope we can all be inspired, reset our mind and help reinvent the society together.

Also, seeing myself next to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was in itself a dream come true.

Thank you so much God and the entire team at BBC for this.

Together, we will change the world. SHE ADDED.
