Joyce, Nairobi Kenya


Joyce Kathomi Mbaya was born 25 years ago in Kenya. Joyce proudly declares to new acquaintances, “Nairobi Kenya is the best city in the world”, as she flies the flag of her country proudly. Despite her being educated in the United States where she acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Central Missouri, she still flaunts her Kenyan accent, unlike many Africans who will rather speak with an American accent. She’s a naturally lovable person who describes herself as “not simple but complicated”; in a room, her heart glows more than the light bulbs, and that is the kind of warmth she’s come to The Apprentice Africa with. Joyce is a very emotional person who considers her late grandfather her greatest role model for what he said to her as a child, “Joyce, you have a crown on your head, and a crown is something important but also very difficult to carry-you can never carry your crown by yourself but you must be careful not to give your crown to the wrong person”. She is coming to The Apprentice Africa with a friendly and amiable personality, laden with her ‘crown’ which is her humane disposition to her fellow housemates. She believes she is a perfect leader, who would gladly give her life to save the lives of those she’s been chosen to lead.
