HOPE. Esther Kamaara was helping out at a children's home in Kenya and realized she didn't want to help these kids for one day but she wanted to make a different. This was the beginning of Star Kids Initiative. Star Kids Initiative  is an initiative that focuses on alienating extreme poverty by providing access to quality education to children from urban slums in Nairobi, Kenya. It does so by offering scholarship and mentorship programs, according infrastructural support to partner schools as well as participating in education reform advocacy.  

Through the initiative, Esther seeks to be in the front-lines, in creating a world where all children have access to basic amenities and educational opportunities, to enable them to reach their full potential as human beings.

MAKE LEMONADE. Fun Fact. I didn't expect to do a bonus episode but...life. While trying to edit this week's episode we had a computer completely crash. I'm learning that it doesn't always go as planned but that doesn't mean we can't keep going. Enjoy this espresso shot episode; it's quick but powerful.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE. None of us is an island but it is imperative that we have realistic expectations for the people in our lives. There are three people that everyone should have in their lives: the coach, the fan and the player. In today's episode, I break down how each of these people add value to our lives.
