I have worked with her in Kajiado West. She is result oriented and very passionate about every work she puts her hands on. Very articulate and persuasive grass root mobilizer. She is also a seasoned Voter Educator. She deserves kudos for the transformative agenda she has initiated in her backyard. That makeshift gazebo...thumbs up!.

Someone needs to say that as much as the place is dry, the vegetation is green. Proud of our Maasai girl from Narok, Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪.

She's amazing and I love the way she speaks. It is proven that when you educate women, it lifts up the entire community. She is really wonderful.

How inspiring!
That's a face of Africa we don't see very much. A beautiful and inspiring face.
Gratitude and love to this happy, clever, sustainable, modern, nature friendly community for showing us the way.
One way among others but for sure one of the best.

What an amazing woman! Her tiny off-grid home looks so inviting and comfortable! Her concern for the environment, support and activities for gender rights and girls' education makes her wonderful role model for girls and women alike to follow in her footsteps.

What an intelligent and insightful woman. So uplifting to see her returning to her village to share her education and perspective with the others -- and exciting that they are open to the learning she has to share! This gives us hope.

This is so beautiful and so is she. Why would anyone ever give this a thumbs down. There really are some hateful people in the world.

I watched this twice! This is how sustainable living is done...adapting to the needs and culture of a community.

[jayduncan]

She is living the sustainable dream!! What's with the thumbs down!!?? Bravo to her initiatives and sharing her knowledge with the community.

This has got to be the most positive clip I've seen in my life! I am a German that grew up in South Africa and returned to Germany as an adult. I've seen so much hardship and burgeoning concerning the black Continent that it hurts the heart. And now this genuine positive result of an educated individual that has made such a difference for her community, that it puts me to tears thinking: "I've been part of so many projects in my youth helping to even just equip a rural village with running water by damming up an uphill ravine in a mountainous region (Valley of the thousand hills in Kwazulu Natal), laying a pipe and fitting a couple of taps downhill. We were always awarded with a festive gratuitous ceremony, but I always thought that we didn't really make a difference since that was that. We never gave these villages KNOWLEDGE. This lady brought knowledge to her community. That's the difference! Knowledge is power. I am so utterly moved by this clip and so genuinely happy to for once see someone make a difference - a big difference! Thumbs up in happy tears!!!! All my love for this lady!!!

What a lovely colourful homestead. Talented lady. I wish her well with her projects.

This is really amazing!
How fitting for a Maasai woman to talk to the world about sustainable, environmentally responsible living!
For centuries Maasai women used to be the builders of dwellings in their communities and the resulting homesteads were so environment-friendly that when they'd break camp and relocate you could easily tell where the manyatta (homesteads) were because the grass was greener, and vegetation more luxuriant at those spots for years, and that was the only footprint they left!
Sadly, no one even remembers that anymore! Good job!
Ashe oleng' Selina!
Unawakilisha.
Tunajuvunia!

I met this brilliant lady 6 years ago during the AHAIC Conference I must say she is driven, amazing and passionate. Keep soaring higher Selina

[frankcarter]

So many layers to this woman's story. I love the more self-sustaining environment she has created along with the really cool living spaces contained therein.
Environmentally friendly, beneficial to all.

This Masai lady is truly amazing!!! What a beautiful garden and village!!!

[annaherber]

Watching this brought tears in my eyes. I live in Eastern-Europe, very different history, very different culture, yet, we have the same dreams and hopes for the future. Such a beautiful place and such a beautiful person! I wish you all the best!!

[SoLNaTaL]

Shouting with love and respect from the Bronx, New York City area! Seeing this brings tears of joy to my eyes, I'm so excited for her and her community! May she and her community, continue to flourish with long life and good health! Ashe O!!!

As an African from the Americas, I would love to replicate something like this in the Dominican Republic. Ashe!!!

She is so beautiful and intelligent, so happy she is using what she learned to help her people and also it’s nice to see that it did not change who she is.

[Kweku-jgfu]

Lived in America for 22yrs, and this is the life I've been craving for ever since I left Africa. The sense of peace and happiness is irreplaceable.

Truly inspiring and uplifting! Thanks Selina for showing what one can do in times of trouble and make things so bountiful and beautiful in the process! Thanks!
