About Me
Am Stella and I was born in kapsabet
Went to school in kapsabet primary and my O-levels then later did business management in the Kenya Institute of Management.
I have three children who support fully through upkeep and through schooling.
I was employed in a local factory where I managed to save money and started selling second hand clothes mainly jackets due to the cold weather here. The locals here are mainly farmers in the tea industry and they work extremely cold circumstances hence the need for jackets.
