God done did it. M.A. in Communication(Media Studies). What a journey this has been, one I thought would never end (story for another day). But here we are. So many people to thank. My beloved Joyce Omondi Waihiga for all the support through this journey. My family, who all encouraged me to never give up. A very helpful group of people at Daystar University. The PhD students who pushed me on. And to anyone I may have forgotten-thank you.
As Malcolm X once said, Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. “
Mwaura’s graduation is a significant achievement, both for himself and for the Kenyan media industry. He is an inspiration to many young journalists and media professionals, who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
