Beyond Work
Outside of work, Epiphania is an enthusiastic reader and a lover of fine food. She enjoys board games and gardening. Married with one daughter who humorously prefers not to take fashion advice from her mom, Epiphania uses her non-work time to cook, tend to her garden, or attempt, often in vain, to match the boundless energy of her seven-year-old.
Mantra
Raised in rural Tanzania, Epiphania has personally encountered the obstacles to advancement, particularly for women and girls. Embracing her mantra, BE MORE, she passionately believes that when we learn to BE MORE, even a micro MORE, consistently, we pave the way for sustainable progress.
