Caroline Mutoko
"Average Is not good enough!"
Caroline’s
personal life mantra stems from words she grew up with in school and at
home. In whatever you do, do more than is expected, do it better than
expected. We live in a world where “average seems to be an acceptable
standard – it isn’t and it shouldn’t be. We can’t create a bigger and
better world if we are in any way content with “okey”. We must add value
to everything we do – it is required and demanded of us all.
That
need to raise above average is what makes Caroline a formidable media
personality, an attention grabbing radio host, a sort after communicator
for brands across Kenya and a captivating speaker to schools and young
women.
Caroline
has hosted the Big Breakfast on Kiss 100 for ten years, commands
massive revenue in the advertising industry and when one needs to be
heard and noticed, there’s no better place it do so that on her morning
radio show.
Caroline
also writes a weekly column for The STAR newspaper where she looks into
our world and sometimes at her own and gives everyone something to
think about every Monday. Her style is witty, hard-hitting but above all
true to our times and the moment.
Her
love and passion for girls and women is no secret. She believes she was
given and told she needed to excel- a good education, and solid
foundation in work and prayer, through her schooling years to make her
into the person she is today. Her mission is to be able to "pay it
forward" and pass on that torch to other students and most importantly
girls and young women.
That
said, Caroline believes she’s a work in progress and admits she’s still
learning and is loving every minute of the journey.” I’ve only just
began, it took me awhile to find my purpose but now that I have, I feel
reborn. It’s time to step out and add value to the lives of the people I
meet and to the world I live in”. |
