I hosted an event that raised a modest $3.5 BILLION in 90 minutes at the UN General Assembly in New York! 🤯
It will fund education in 90 lower-income countries so that no child is left behind. My mom was a teacher in rural Kenya so this historic “harambee” is personal to me
The World Athletics Championships is heading to Africa for the first time. 🇰🇪
Nairobi beat competition from London, Rome and Munich to be awarded the 2029 event.
Munich will host in 2031.
Life so private, no one knows @EliudKipchoge was once my teammate 😂
It’s been 10 years since we shared the stage at the Rio 2016 Olympics, carrying the hopes of a nation in the same colours.
A decade later, we meet again in completely different chapters of our lives. This time not on the Olympic stage, but over a plate of butter orange and herb poached carrots with a lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf-infused mursik dressing cutting through their richness, served alongside creamy managu, grilled rump steak and ugali.
Eliud took running beyond its limits and showed the world that NO HUMAN IS LIMITED. Now his dream goes beyond records, to make this world a running world, bringing people and communities together through running.
My dream is to do the same with food, tell people’s stories through what we eat, where tradition meets free will and the only limit is what we’re willing to imagine.
NO HUMAN IS LIMITED!
NO INGREDIENT IS LIMITED!
