Musyoka, a security guard, is retraining for UX design and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over four months.

I have worked as a security guard for 14 years, and I'm 54. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into UX design, and I have completed an online certificate. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Nairobi, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. I hope life is good to you.

    Stay strong, Musyoka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Zanzibar City donated after I showed her your page.

            Wishing you peace, Musyoka. Small businesses are the heart of Nairobi. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
