Naive and young, Wala joined the University of Nairobi for a Bachelor of Medicine. She maintained a good grade to pass medical studies and was very exploratory. She recalls getting engaged at 18 years to her campus sweetheart, having a long-distance relationship, and supplementing her pocket money as a research assistant.

At #DDwithMaqC™, leaders and practitioners in the development, global health, impact investing, human rights, social justice fields share their stories, journeys, inspirations, and aspirations in life and careers. The unscripted auto-biographical approach allows for deep reflections on lessons and issues. One conversation at a time, one story at a time, we amplify unsung voices and experiences, share solutions, and causes, provide examples and insights that explain and humanize development in a way that helps “us” and “others” to “get it” or “plug-in”, as relevant.
