She Made KSh 1 Million at 18… It Started in High School | TRC Podcast

In this episode of the TRC Podcast High School Series, we sit down with Njambi Kuria — a driven entrepreneur who made her first KSh 1 million at just 18 years old, shortly after finishing high school.

Njambi shares how her hustle started while still in Form 3, when she began selling sliced bread to fellow students for profit. What started small quickly grew into selling Royco, sweets, candies, and other in-demand products around school.

She reveals how she was making money each term, reinvesting her profits, and even gave her mother KSh 10,000 to buy a pig — a move that later turned into a KSh 200,000 profit after selling piglets.

This is an inspiring conversation about starting early, spotting opportunities, reinvesting profits, and building wealth from small beginnings.

If you’re young and ambitious, this episode is for you.

SPEAKER_02 10:29

See, so for me, I was afraid of saying na transfer because in primary, after ni mengizu boarding, that I cried for. Mindon litaka kwanda boarding. Nilishi kusuma transfer transfer never went anywhere. So nkwana wonder okay, itakwa took like a repetition. So I never said na transfer, but I wanted to transfer. So going back home, na Lilya Mamangu, I please, ma'am, naosha, I don't want this anymore. Like it's it's horror. Like I'm being made to do some things. You just know. You are in girls' schools, guys.

SPEAKER_06 11:42

I feel like when we're doing Caro's episode, Kulikona yuki tu nya walimu wana. For sure kulukana tu nya lukana fani zovu kunya wana kuana fana. So sometimes because they do not know what to do, it's like we have found you, you are the one, and I know.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Yeah. So I mean they're trying to lure me into the their community, the lesbianism community. But I don't want to do that. Of course, nilikon mepa ni meskia stories before your lesbianism and everything and everything. I didn't know it was that serious. Me nili kujoko wanya high school. Sasa drama, nikama find you, nikama findi. It was a culture shock. So me ni me kata, of course, but sit out say I won't snitch on them. So that's where the psychological bullying started from them. Now that community particularly. I was in form one. Eh, boys. I don't go for one. I don't go for one. That's where the psychological bullying started with them now. So they know my dome, they know where my duty is, they know my class, they know everything. So I'll wash my clothes, na nika na pata ni meachiwapu. Sini ku nimebakina skat moja. Ye nyiko kwa mwili.

So mimi I kui mini hit. Miss kwa mwain notice. In primary, no one ever told me that. At home, nobody's telling me that. That's when now I found out in high school that I do have stretch marks.

SPEAKER_06 25:09

Can I say something? Thank you. So, when I watch another lady Nitonga Tamko, she's an Indian. She makes like content. I even have her one of her books here. So she was saying that we are not born with insecurities. Insecurities are taught.

SPEAKER_07 26:10

The stretch marks were so pretty.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

And what was their opinion? It wasn't a bother. So, um, we could like, of course, in high school muna go through like two fight to arguments with your classmates. Naskio classmates stretch marks killer mali. I'm so sure kuna stretch max atta kwa akili.

SPEAKER_07 59:39

So going back to high school, Judaske, ulikuwa ulikua business woman, wata goan. Like ulianza, a chaffo man, ulianza kitabo. And uh I just I just want to wonder, because it sounds like you still have the entrepreneurial mindset and whatever. But how do you think? How different are you from the girl you were in high school? The for one girl who was crying afraid, nili, how different are you to the woman who you are right now?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:06

Um, high school, I would say high school really shaped me in terms of facing the world. By the high school, yes, nilipiti is of it to zoote, but I'm so grateful to God because if because if I didn't go through that, I don't think I'd be who I am today. Definitely. Like right now, I am so hard. Like I built stamina. What I went through. Yes, Ili kwa the hard way. Yani, God God teaches you the hard way for real. Yani utapitiya ma vitu, utapitiya training. Hey, my mom usually says there's no training. Akuna training kaya mungo. Akuna teaching kaya mungo. That thing is painful.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:44

But akwangia kiku trainatiakumize for something for something bigger.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:48

And he's training you for.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:50

You think you've become El Chapo kiw mdogo evo for nothing. The next 15 years. Uta kuwa na yu supermarket. Amen. A quick matza kuka. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:59

Oh my god. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:03

Hallelujah. So eh, high school really shaped me. The person who I am today. Even in matters content creation. The things I went through in high school, the psychological bullying I went through in high school from my classmates, some of my classmates, from my schoolmates, na Nini. At some point at uh one of them alikua niambia we kwenda uko naringa na mamakwa no zanganguru.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:25

No, no na twaza mieta. We kwenda.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:29

Yeah, that's the thing. Yeni miam making money. But I'm still making money at home. But I never used to say it. You know, that was like uh umeni pigaki kitru, okay, min me nyamaza basi. Because also, at that time, badoni kuna self-esteem issues, cause now people are saying, oh, my mom is a lawyer and offici. Mamanwa namkanga kwenda kwashamb.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:52

Oh, I feel like self-esteem. I feel like high school in a kwanga is such a place and yamtuana develop self-esteem issues. Jota, nekuno namtua na scavi baju, misi nababa mgina scav baju atti mamako. Mama kwa no zangure na mata nza do wata choose ngguru. So neku nio comparis. Mama wini lawy. Ama parents wa waka together, wangu wakodi vulgas.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:13

Sasa, for me, ilikwa yo self-esteem issues, identity crisis, yani nafika pointata, I'm trying to fit in like some certain circles. Na jo wame jiweka, like sit in dotukuna do because of this and this and this and this. Oh, my mom does this, we drive this car. So, atunu na jaribuko fit into certain circles. I feel like if I didn't go through that in high school, ningekwa na a lot of trouble. Uh right now. Right now, outside. Because A, it really changed me. Uh now, like I know myself better. Like, I um I know my purpose, I'm rooted. In high school, yes, I did know God, but I wouldn't say I was saved per se. Right now, I am saved. Like, it really shaped the person I am today. Atakama nili go through hell and back, yeah, it was worth it.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:03

It wasn't the best training, but yeah. But and do you think Ju Sisiya patuna kunga ambassadors or Christ? What role did God play in healing your self-esteem issues? Juan's me ku apokuliku naka jami.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:16

Yeah, especially now um your time high school sasa nime bodishemwa nime rudi after COVID ni me nona ni meambiwa mavitu, in in fight sama nini, ni meambiwas jui, unakanguruzi ni mama makwa na uzanga. Rena it's funny. Can we laugh? Can we laugh? Yes, please do Rena it's funny.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:39

I thought it wasn't funny. 16 year olds, 17 year olds are so mean. I know. I love funny.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:46

Like it's hurting me. And also, actually, that thing right now, it really helps me content-wise. Because right now someone will come to your TikTok and comment something. It won't hit you.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:06

Behind the scenes, I check.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:12

Like it guys, let's heal. Because I feel like inakwanga, so much resentment in you. Because I even learnt myself, Ilifika point, like nikanza kujuliza, okay, where am I treating my siblings this way? Where am I treating people this way? It's because of this and this and this. So it's something that's in you that you're mirroring, mirroring it out to people. Na make sense. So, uh to heal, to the therapy, way. Kunya milk check.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:50

And last question to wrap up. If you could talk to 16-year-old jambi and now you're tedi one children.

I'm just a baby, I'm 21.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:03

I turned 21 last week, but one. We're about to turn 24 being flabbergasted. But anyway, if you could speak to a 16-year-old jambi, what would you tell her?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:16

Oh wow, wow, wow. Wow, wow, wow. The plot twist you're about to meet. Oh my god. I was 16 in 2020. Yeah, no God right now. Don't wait till you're 19 or you joined campus or whatever. Just know God right now. And it gets better with time. Focus on your healing, your personal growth, focus on what you love, invest in yourself because you're only accountable to you and God, nobody else. You have I have no kid.
