The episode features Yolanda Muyonga, the Chief Engineer for Research and Innovation at Kenya Pipeline Company, and her journey.
Growing up, Yolanda had a deep love for mathematics and physics, subjects that many students shy away from but which fascinated her from a young age. What started as curiosity soon became conviction, guiding her academic choices and shaping a career rooted in problem-solving, experimentation, and continuous learning.
In the interview, Yolanda reflects on her early years in school, the mentors who believed in her, and the moments that tested her resolve in what has traditionally been a male-dominated field. She speaks candidly about the discipline required to thrive in engineering, the importance of staying curious, and the value of resilience when the path feels uncertain.
