Nancy Karigithu’s love affair with water starts the furthest place from any big water mass; Mwea. That’s where she grew up, making paper boats, getting a shell from a relative who had visited the Coast and constantly listening into it and hearing the murmurs of the sea that was calling her.
Inevitably, she ended up in high school in Kilifi, close but not so close to the ocean. She later joined University of Nairobi to pursue a law degree, then did a Master’s degree in international maritime law.
