Quotes
edit- "I was angry that we were hosting the Safari Rally annually and the few women who were participating were all foreigners. I wanted to prove that Kenyan women, too, could participate in car racing. I do not like to be put in a box or to be stereotyped."
- “Marriage can be tricky and when it comes to children, I just don’t understand why a woman would not want to have her own. Children are the reason we work so hard, besides being our future generation and the ones who will help us in old age. You cannot send your cat or dog to run errands, can you?”
- “I will not let my daughters marry without a prenuptial agreement. Lazy men take advantage of hardworking women. Men cannot be trusted to take care of the children after a woman passes on due to their polygamous nature.”
- "I fear nothing, and I regret nothing. I do what I do because I believe in it, and I always stand by my decisions."
