Mutethya

Formally introduce us to Mutethya...

Agnes Mutethya Mutie is my official name.

I am a 22year old Kenyan. I am the daughter of Purity Ndanu and elder sister to Newton Musyoka. I am proficient in English, Swahili and Kamba languages.

I am currently a third year law student at the University of Nairobi and a Kingdom Leadership student at Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry, Kenya. Am a graduate of Unity College of Professional Studies with a diploma in computer studies.

I am a proud member and Co-founder of Squad Goals Ke Initiative. I'm also privileged to serve in the executive board for Kalamu Africa Initiative, serving as the secretary and communications manager. I am also a trained and certified  volunteer mentor with Life Ministry Kenya and Bridge Mentorship Program Coordinator at Redeemed Gospel Church. I am a publicity employee at Randy's Independent Public Relations Firm (RIPRF).

I am a web content developer, doing chief editorial for Kalamu Africa Initiative, Squad Goals Ke and Wenya-Dee Designs. I also serve in the executive committee of the Christian Union in my campus, as the assistant missions coordinator.

Above all, am a deligheted beloved child of God. He calls me Warrior Princess. (chuckles )

Share with us your Passion and interests ...

I am passionate about the gospel of the Lord Jesus. All my passions and interests in this life flow from the point of understanding that I am on this earth, as a daughter of light, to effect the Kingdom of God. Most people find this a nonsensical cliché. However, I have always been of the opinion that just because you do not understand how something works (or perhaps it hasn't worked for you) it doesn't mean it's a fake. Taste and See!

I love people. This is actually my strength. Loving people makes your assignment easier and the burdens of life light. Any field that would have me deal majorly with people, is a field I would effortlessly venture into. Talk of, peer mobilisation, human and resource mobilisation, social work, project management, event organisation etc.

I find satisfaction in teaching, sharing and imparting knowledge on others. As such, I am involved in training and mentoring the youths as I help them shape perspectives, find purpose and be intentional in living up to that purpose. Nothing gives me more joy.

What are your hobbies...

I have some undoubted interest in art. Both creative and performed art. I am a born actress :though I've retreated from the stage for a while now. I'm a gifted orator. My friends say my mouth was created first. Oh well! Debates, public speaking, motivational speaking and poetry are to me what milk is to a toddler. I thank God. I also draw. My pencil is not as sharp though. I also make designer gift cards. This is the most beautiful side of my art.

I love fashion. 

I am quite photogenic (laughs)  

I have quite an ear for music. Good music. I keep striving to grow my vocals. And now, trusting God to birth me into prophetic worship! Hallelujah!

I am also an avid reader, with preferences ranging from classicals to new age reads. I have a particularly liking for hardcopy books.

What are you currently working on?

Oh my!  My cup runs over. They say am a Jack of all trades. Unrefuted. 

(Pause) Apart from school, am working on several projects. First, am working on establishing Squad Goals Ke Movement, with friends . I'm learning to be a think tank and it's exciting. I will be telling you more about it.

Secondly, Serving in the executive board for Kalamu Africa Initiative is a handful I must say. We are working on re-branding and expanding scope of the organization. Finally and majorly for me as a person, I will be launching a company soon.  It's such a beautiful thing you should all watch out for. A hint perhaps? Two words : The Youth.

What is your greatest fear?... 

Well,  there's so much to be afraid of in this life. But I thank God who gives me the courage to push through. I dread failure.  Especially when people's lives and destinies are at stake. It shakes me up. 

Talking of failure, what has been your greatest?

Wow. (Pause)

I have had terrible misses but the greatest for me was when I bailed out on a mentorship program midway. Reason  being I felt the system wasn't working well. I have ever since felt, I could have done better than to leave. 

What has been the greatest challenge you have had to overcome so far... 

 My biggest battle has been an inside one. The challenge of rising above self doubt and personal insecurities . Thoughts like, am I good enough? What are the chances that I will hack this? What if I mess up? Will people be receptive of it. Honestly, It's a battle am learning to win daily.

Paint us a picture of you in five years...

(Pause) That's quite an interesting question. Oh well, I love to look into the future, and just muse at how beautiful it is. Honestly, there's too much ahead. It gets scary at times. (Chuckles). I have learned to be open minded. To allow the Lord to lead me. Not without desires though. Now, this is a major one. In five years, I will be done with my undergraduate degree and post graduate diploma in law. Successfully so. I will also have started and completed an undergraduate degree in Community and Project management. I also look to having founded and established my company, which willcentred on community development and especially youth empowerment. I'm already so excited. I also hope to be working with various organisations on a humanitarian scope. In five years, our CBO, Kalamu Africa Initiative  should also have grown in membership and In its commitment to empower the slum child in education. Squad Goals Ke, should already be a national movement if not more.

And oh, family. Let me shy away from taking that direction.(Laughs) I told you there's so much. Five years is a promising long time.

Finally, they say you are a woman of great wisdom. Give us a taste in a sentence or two.

(Laughs) they say? Quite interesting.

Alright.

(pause)  I feel it's important for young people to realise that there's so much that they can do for the world. Yet again it's not just a matter of activity but of productivity. What I call value addition. Do something, and make sure it counts years down the line, and more, when you are no longer here to defend it's relevance.
