We sat with Annette Githinji after the Women in E-Mobility Networking Session, and what she shared stayed with us.
The sky is the limit. And as a woman, you can go even further.
Annette Githinji didn't take the traditional route and that's exactly what makes her story worth telling. From a background in marketing, she found her way into electric vehicles, helped launch Kenya's first EV showroom, managed EV fleets, and is now driving growth and operations in the e-mobility sector.
Not a straight line. But every step led somewhere meaningful.
Her message to women: ‘The door is open. Whether you come from engineering, business, or you're simply curious about what's next, this industry is growing fast and it genuinely needs more women helping to shape it.’
When women show up for each other, mentoring, supporting, opening doors, the ripple effect goes further than any of us can see.
Hit play ▶️and hear it in her own words.

Every morning before sunrise, Sophia Wanjiku leaves home to begin another long day as a bus conductor.
Like many women in the public transport sector, her days were filled with long hours, unpredictable income, financial pressure, and the constant responsibility of providing for her family. Saving felt impossible, and owning an asset felt like a distant dream.
Everything changed when she joined a women's table banking group through Flone Initiative.
What began with small, consistent savings became something much bigger than money. It became security when her family needed it most. It became confidence. It became opportunity.
Today, Sophia owns an Uber taxi. But her greatest investment wasn't the vehicle itself, it was her son's future. Rather than leaving her job, she entrusted the taxi to him, creating a sustainable source of income, restoring his dignity after injury, and opening a new chapter for their family.
This is what happens when women have access to financial literacy, collective support, and safe mobility ecosystems. A single woman's savings journey can transform an entire family's future, and inspire many more to believe that change is possible.

"Mention her name in the boardroom. Be her mentor."
That was one of the moments that stopped the room at our Women in E-Mobility Networking Session, a side event of the #KPLC E-Mobility Conference 2026, held on 4th June at Sarova Stanley, Nairobi.
For two hours, women at different stages of the e-mobility journey ,engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders ,were in the same room, spoke honestly, listened deeply, and left with more than business cards. They left with a renewed sense of what is possible when women in this industry choose to bring each other along.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible speakers for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and powerful insights. Your honest conversations, encouragement, and call to lift other women reminded us that building an inclusive e-mobility sector starts with creating opportunities, opening doors, and bringing others along.
This evening was made possible by partners who believe that inclusive mobility is not optional.
We are deeply grateful to the @UNEP , @GIZ Kenya, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) for their support and commitment to advancing women's participation in Kenya's e-mobility transition.
To every person who was in the room, thank you for showing up and participating in growing our sector.

Today, stakeholders co-created the implementation roadmap, governance framework, and monitoring tools that will guide the Women in E-Mobility Strategic Plan over the next five years.
Because women shouldn't just participate in the future of mobility, they should help shape it.

"How do you get to school?"
In #Makueni, children answered that question with drawings that told us everything infrastructure reports miss.
This Day of the African Child, we keep listening. 🧡

Throwing it back to when we sat with the ROG Inclusion Committee, opened up the conversation on Gender and Disability Awareness, and put practical audit tools in their hands.
Company by company. Committee by committee. That is how systemic change is built.

The goal was never just awareness. It was commitment; internal champions who carry inclusion into every decision, every hire, every policy.
