I Was Bullied For Being Myself (Part 2)
After choosing hairdressing over university, Johnny is determined to prove to himself, and his family, that he made the right decision. In Part Two of his story, we follow his journey from earning KSh 4,800 a month in his first salon job to becoming one of Kenya's most sought-after celebrity hairstylists. But success comes with difficult choices. Johnny opens up about choosing exposure over financial security, discovering he was being exploited, learning the value of advocating for himself, and walking away from opportunities that no longer aligned with the future he envisioned.
