He wrote:

''LONG POST ALERT. Hope I inspire someone today...Issa TBT... I always document my moments with photos, just so I can look back at them and marvel at how far I have come. 7 years ago, I was a mabuyu hawker in Juja and Thika. I visited the mabuyu sellers at Jamia Mosque and was able to convince them to show me their trade. For those who have met those ladies, you know they operate like a cartel, but one decided to show me, FOR FREE. I started making my own mabuyu for sale, since I couldn't just sit at home because I was jobless. I used to trek no less than 10km daily, 6 days a week to sell my wares. People talked, laughed, ridiculed, and others really supported me. I carried out my hustle with all the pride in the world, because, no matter how little, I always had something for my kids.
