Generation after generation the agikuyu continue churning out entrepreneurs listening to nyawira speak you can tell she has all it takes to " scale" the business despite her age you can also tell she has no connections but an appetite for risk and a desire to succeed
Which brings the old age question what is it about the agikuyu and entrepreneurship
Unlike many communities in Kenya, the Kikuyu are highly individualistic. A Kikuyu has an internal locus of control, mostly thinking of himself and immediate family members. They are great risk takers, and often not afraid to fail.
In most Kenyan communities, your success must be felt by the whole community. You will have a list of dependants, including the descendants of your grandmother’s cousin.
Also, the big-man mentality is highly diminished in this community. The community, often calling itself the House of Mumbi, has little respect for positions. Other communities in Kenya glorify such.
