Her legend inspires a father to write a letter to her beloved daughter inspiring her to believe in the spirits of her ances-tors that she will prevail all challenges the world throws at her to become her own hero.
Her father writes a letter to her daughter and prays for the spirit of her ancestors to rise as they did to the daughter of the agiryama mijikenda tribe MEKATILILI to lift her spirits up and give her strength to fight injustices during these political trying times in Kenya as she did during colonial time to be become her own hero.
