My active participation in workshops and writing groups has been instrumental in shaping my growth as a writer. Through engaging sessions at organizations like the Kenya Writers Association, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with talented peers, sharing insights and critiques that challenge me to elevate my craft.

Additionally, the supportive environment fosters creativity; I've collaborated on projects that blend diverse voices and styles, enriching my own writing and broadening my perspective. These experiences not only enhance my skills but also deepen my connections within the literary community, paving the way for future collaborations and opportunities.
