- Deejay Mellow - CEO, Mellow Experience
Deejaying was a very male-dominated career path a decade ago but today there is clearly no shortage of female talent in Kenya with the likes of DJ Pierra, DJ Tabz and DJ Malaika carving out their space. Melody Wanjiru, popularly known as DJ Mellow, is another female DJ making waves on the scene. The CEO of Mellow Experience has proven that a determined lady can have it all. Mellow is a triple threat package as she dances and sings too. She has played at major events including Jameson Connect making her one of the most sought-after female deejays in Kenya.
- Mwalimu Rachel - CEO, MRX Media Ltd
With over 10 years' experience in media, Rachel has evolved from a budding TV host to a fully-fledged boss in the male-dominated industry. She heads Mwalimu Rachel Experience Media (MRX Media) in which she has provided employment to the youth in the digital marketing and social media arenas.
- Esther Akoth - CEO, Akothee Safaris
Singer Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, is the epitome of an entertainer. Arguably, no Kenyan celebrity can tap into the power and influence of social media as Akothee can. Through her carefully and cleverly crafted online image, she has created a lucrative career for herself, including her own tours and travel company which looks to eat into the market share of traditionally well-established titans in the highly-competitive tours industry. We have no doubt Akothee has the grit and drive to run with the big boys.
