About Me

I come from a very humble background, born and raised in the city of Nairobi and of Kikuyu ethnic. Went through Primary, Secondary and college and attained my Diploma in French language and Tours and travel. I have grown to see my parents work so hard to make sure that we had food on the table and went through school with no hassles. I love fashion and more so travelling and thats where the passion to start my own business came into my mind of course through my friends.... I used to carry goods to the offices and sell there and one friend came up with a suggestion, why dont you look for a shop and stock your stuff there....i do not believe today how far i have come from with just a pair of lesso and masai sandals...

I love my country which is a touristic destination. Kenya is well know for its people and language, food, music and dance, art, artifacts, theatre and literature to its ethnic values and ethical norms. Combined with other traditions, these forms of expression and lifestyle form an identity that is uniquely Kenyan. My best hobby is travelling, love to experience and discover new destinations, taste their food, learn their culture and ofcourse return with souvenirs from those destinations.

My Business

Talante Botik is a wholly owned Kenyan business founded in 2010. We deal in a wide range of commodities from Curios, Kikois, Khangas, Cosmetics Jewellery, Hair products...etc... Our products and materials are sourced locally & internationally from renowned suppliers. The beauty shop sells high quality cosmetic products, maasai shukas, masaai sandals, weaved bags & much more.....Our clients are not limited to any age group.

We already have 2 branches located in Kiamumbi, out of the hard work i have instilled in my business. Talante botik has employed 2 employees. From the profits , i reinvest to grow the business by adding more stuff. Am so passionate about travel and this is where the idea of starting my own business came up. Started off with a pair of lesso and masaai sandals and that was the birth of my new baby Talante Botik. So far have been to Tanzania, Uganda, Kigali, Addis and have an upcoming trip to Dubai to see what i can bring.

    Thanks i received my first loan of $5. I was able to purchare electricity token to last for a month. The stock i want to add up requires me to have $200. I get my goods from outside and I was thinking of Kampala since their goods are tax free, one gets them at a very affordable price and make good profits in return. Thanks once again
