Muthoni Likimani

“Muthoni Likimani belongs to a group of unsung heroines, more so because she penned her works from the heart, exuding a fighting spirit that epitomises her historical role as a freedom fighter and chronicler of a peoples’ culture and livelihood. Her natural smile radiates the warmth of the connection her fictional characters have with the audience. Indeed, as I read her works I see that radiance of a gallant personality to read more, hear more and see more.”

“Throughout my life's journey as a strong woman, I have enjoyed the support of many. At the same time, I have suffered because I am a woman. I never forget that after being declared the best creative writer and best producer at Voice of Kenya, I was not recommended for promotion. Another person was appointed above me and I was expected to be his assistant.”

“I have no fear. True, I fear God, but I do not fear what people will say. My success has been driven by my confidence and lack of fear. I believe that I can do what others can.”

“If you do not have confidence you might as well be dead.”

“I am inspired by successful women who do things that were previously only done by men; women who can create and succeed and who are confident.”

“"Quite often, my advice has been on using power of pen not guns to fight ones right."”
