Otieno Ouma Shayo

Mentor in first-generation students and recovery

🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya
2008 to 2020
English

For twelve years I've mentored people in first-generation students and recovery. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening. Most of my mentees are early in their careers. A few are in their fifties and starting over, and they're some of my favorites. Thank you for stopping by.

If I mentored you, I hope you're still pushing yourself.
