Ayuma is currently serving Female & Executive Changemakers across the globe as a Leadership Storytelling Coach at Leading through Story (LetS), a for-profit Social Enterprise based in Nairobi which she started in Nov 2015. Her initiative inspires the application of authentic storytelling as an effective skill for awakening adaptive leadership and addressing the global gender gap.

She worked at CARE International’s East & Central Africa’s Regional Management Unit as the Regional Communications Lead for 10 countries.
She also worked as a writer at several lifestyle magazines in East Africa. Ayuma has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from Daystar University with a double concentration in Electronic Media and Public Relations.
