The story of two coffee harvests is told in a brilliantly coloured mural opposite Rebecca Wanjiku’s desk. Some days are good, the berries juicy and red. Some days are bad — the berries are lacklustre and you have to “grind out” earnings.
This mural is at once a reminder and a metaphor. It is a reminder of a place to which she can’t and won’t return. She began her entrepreneurial life as a pre-teen picking coffee to earn pocket money.
