Yvonne Okwara has made a name for herself and created her brand.
Known to many as the no-nonsense political journalist, Yvonne has captured the attention of many viewers with her two cents when it comes to problems facing Kenya.
The hate is massive and she says she is not perfect but she is working on it slowly by slowly. The shoes she had to fit in were big for her to a point she was unsure about herself.

I had just started on prime time, the Holy Grail on TV. I was nervous, unsure of myself and it was a whole new world for me. I was judged every day on air (still happens today) I made many mistakes, some, were very big, one day I'll write about them.
Yvonne is hopeful that she will live to her best because she has God's assurance.
