Listen "Act With Intention: Christy Kioko"
Episode Synopsis
Christy Kioko is a Creative, a philanthropist, and a proud Seattleite. As the daughter of Kenyan immigrants, she’s fortunate to have parents who nurtured her artistic talents. However, despite this fortunate upbringing, Christy still experienced the challenge of identity crisis between two cultures, and the insecurities that come with feeling different from her classmates. Her complicated relationship with her hair only added to these struggles. But as an adult, she is now deconstructing these old and limiting mentalities by practicing the art of enjoying the moment and embracing the idea that consistency is more important than perfection. Additionally, singing at church has given her confidence and a sense of purpose. Driven by her passion for philanthropy, she traveled to Uganda to volunteer for an organization that claimed to help kids in need. However, upon witnessing firsthand the mistreatment of these children and the lack of transparency within the organization, she was inspired to take matters into her own hands. This led her to start her own charity drive, initially called "Operation Christmas" and will be later renamed "Operation Ukambani". Utilizing the power of social media, she was able to solicit donations and support for young children in need in Kenya. Christy's dedication and drive to make a difference in the world is truly inspiring, and her story serves as a reminder that anyone can make a positive impact, no matter how big or small. 🎤ALL LINKS BELOW 🎧 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3g0qe2g Apple: https://apple.co/34KNRa2 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2S9eQJx RedCircle: https://bit.ly/3yZWX0m Instagram: https://bit.ly/2SW06Oc Facebook: https://bit.ly/3x0QLDP 🔻 Connect with Christy🔻 Website: https://linktr.ee/christykioko Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christykioko Please intentionally share and subscribe.
