At just 23, she’s proving that Gen Z refuses to be put in a single box. In a recent interview, she shared a simple but powerful fact about her education: “I double majored in Business Management and Public Health.”
Nancy grew up in Georgia, and like many young people in the diaspora, she balances two identities: her Kenyan heritage and her American upbringing.
This makes her story incredibly relatable to her peers who are also constantly juggling different roles, whether they are a student, a worker, or a content creator.
She’s not shy about showing her human side. She admitted her favourite school subject was History, but her least favourite was Math.
These small details remind us that she’s more than a beauty queen; she’s lived the same struggles as many of her peers.
The Soft Life with a Side of Authenticity
Beyond the books and the spotlight, Nancy’s life shows a mix of ambition and authenticity. She currently drives a Tesla and dreams of one day owning a G-Wagon. She proudly wears two tattoos, reflecting a bold side of her personality.
And in a move that makes her instantly relatable, she admitted to having a zero M-Pesa balance at times. She’s not a perfectly polished figure but a young woman living a real life.
A Blueprint for the Future
Nancy’s ambitions go far beyond her degrees. She is now actively championing maternal health, raising funds for CPAP machines in hospitals.
The pageant gave her a platform, but her personal drive is what truly sustains her.
“The only thing stopping you is you,” she said, recalling the best advice she’s ever received.
For a generation that embraces side hustles and multi-dimensional careers, Nancy’s journey is a blueprint. She’s redefining beauty not as a mask, but as a megaphone for ambition, vulnerability, and authenticity.
