As a girl child from an Islamic family and the oldest in the family of three, my parents wouldn’t allow me going to another province for my University. It was a dream come true going to a university in a far a way province. Luckily I was placed in Umma University Kajiado Campus but unfortunately it was a “no go zone”.
