At Spring Valley Coffee café, an enamoured waitress, not an hour older than 20, approaches our table with a menu held close to her chest like a hymn book. "I love your outfit. You look so good!" The compliment isn't directed towards me but towards Wandia Gichuru, founder and CEO of Vivo Fashion Group. She is wearing a loose, dark green satin blouse with the softest of sheen, large olive-green tassel earrings, delicate gold chains layered at different lengths with a pearl accent and on her fingers several minimalist rings in gold and silver.
If this was a novel she would be the character described as 'sweeping through a room in a gale of green'. But this is life. And she explains that she has two major events after this; a panel at the Retail Trade Association of Kenya summit and later that evening a gathering around Graça Machel who is visiting.
