What’s your earliest memory? The sight of Italian prisoners of war visiting us in Limuru, asking for eggs. One day, they disappeared. Years later, I learned it was because the Second World War was over. They had returned home. Who are your heroes? As a child, Jomo Kenyatta. We used to hear so many stories about his exploits in London fighting for Kenyan people’s freedom. My late mother, Wanjiku, is my adult hero. I have always wondered how a woman who could not read or write came to dream of school for me. She passed the dream of education on to me.
