When I read this book, it was nostalgic. The concept of driving this business, which did not make sense to anyone at first and benefited thousands of people, myself included, was something I wanted to know more about. And more so, from the drivers that vision.

This book is a story of grit, resilience and God’s providence in pursuit of unlimited potential of the blue skies. I strongly recommend this book to everyone especially those interested in social mobility, free enterprise, excellence and a can do attitude and never giving up. Wangari has given us a road map and inspired even those born without a silver spoon, shoes and indoor plumbing to dream big, really big because all things are possible to those who believe. A very easy 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great inspirational book for anyone who has come from small beginnings but has big dreams. "What we believe to be impossible is only limited by our imagination."As a woman climbing up the corporate ladder, I also enjoyed reading the nuggets on how to navigate and be successful in that space. I highly recommend!

THE VILLAGE GIRL is a very inspirational book. It clearly shows it's not where you start from, is where you finish. We would like to thank the author for sharing her story with us. Thank you Mary Wangari!

I have many points to take home. The one [point] that has touched me deeply is the advice that in order to grow in my profession, one has to keep reinventing herself and taking on different challenges

Your book, “The Village Girl” that chronicles your life journey from a successful corporate leader and lawyer is a game changer for women like us.

Naturally when I saw the alert on the book launch, I got so excited and couldn’t wait to grab a copy. It is now here with me, and I am also going to spread her story to many more. Hers is a journey that shows you that nothing is impossible if you put in the work and she has done it, through the many seasons you must be ready and keep moving. Your support system is also key; it’s not also all about work, there’s an important part of life beyond corporate life that we must build.

Mary is a master storyteller who invites you on her journey. She shares her joy, sorrows, triumphs and insights. She makes you feel as if you are walking beside her, learning from her experience while reflecting on your own. She is not just an author but a mentor and an inspiration.
