This lady Hellen is so authentic. She's made me some dresses in the past and I tell you she is hands on. Doesn't lie, picks up your calls, listens to your requests and makes it happen. She is genuine and loveliest designer I know. God bless you always. Am so happy to hear her story. She's a wonderful person.
Thank gal
This is very true
Very inspiring Story. One thing which I realized from the Story is that She is an awesome employer because for employees to own the Job and work extra hours, means that they are Happy and motivated in their work. Kudos 👍 Lynne 👌
Where is her shop located
Am a kitenge lover and would like her make one for me
Ellen is the best..she made our dresses for a wedding back in 2019...big up💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
Ellen has a rich voice and very articulate .. I'd listen to this a million times
Starting from scratch and now she is inspiring us,,,, thank you God for your faithfulness
The only thing that matters is when you believe in ur self, I was toilet in a restaurant bar, sell vegetables, njugu and mitumba on the street, defeated to pay rent , work as house maid, now I'm working in abroad as a secretary without any college certificate, I can pay sch fees for my siblings one In college two in highschool and my mom's house also I'm building from no body to some body, we were so poor we didn't even have house ,me and my sister we use to sleep at the neighbor's house and I remember how her daughter in law use to tell us that we should pay or help them to clean hmmm, there's God in heaven never give up my Mom went through alot she was the most poorest woman in a village of rich people with beautiful big house yet my mom in single small house iron sheet door . Truly there's God in heaven
You were a blessing to me. You were my neighbor in Bururu and you gave me strength at a time when I was so low. Am so happy to see the blessings in your life. May God continue enlarging your territories.
Hey Carol I remember you. I am glad our paths crossed.
Hey Carolyne, inbox me her number
@@werelawrence4686 am sorry but you would have to ask her
@@carolynegakuo1093 lts very difficult to reach her.l thought if you give me her number it will be possible for me to talk to her
This is a beautiful interview.I have personally interacted with Hellen and her customer service is excellent and she does an amazing job .Am glad I choose you for my ruracia dress because you didn't disappoint.The story was very encouraging and uplifting thanks for sharing .
One day, I will tell my story to the world. Am really inspired by your story Hellen. And definitely, we start somewhere. Time and trusting the process matters most. Thank you Lynn for covering her story 😊

That house is goals!!!!! Thank you Lynn for these stories. They're showing people what's possible when you don't give up!
Ni yake ama ni ya kurent ?
@Sarah Njeri...learn to fix another womans crown..so uas will b next...trying to tear her into pieces is lik trying to put her candle off hoping uas lights brighter...renting or her own...the House is goals🔥🔥
@@cecimwangi7203 what is wrong with asking if it's rented or not ? Crown inatoka wapi hapo ?
@@sarahnjeri105 we are saying the house is goals...rental or her own...
Its none of ua business to know whether ts rental or her own...thts the problem.
@@cecimwangi7203 yes like the Subaru was goals 🤣 you are right it's goals 🤣.
Lynn is such an amazing and humbled lady, thanx for transforming lives thru the shared story.... They have a huge impact
This story has really touched me...it has reminded me of a guy who took advantage of me cause of my situation (being an orphan) fell into his trap cause i was seeking refuge. I'm now a single mom of 3 struggling for my kids. I feel one time will share my story
You are strong 💪 ❤️...Your 3 kids must be very proud of you...
Such a strong woman. Above all she recognises God in everything. A prayerful woman is a beautiful woman
I cant be the only one forever amazed by Lynn's humility. Great episode as always
Great 👍. I worked in TRM 2013 and I loved when someone tips me .and now I always tip people who serve me out there.
Am 23years now but work hard to make my life better especially when I see people who have made it in life
May all of us 1 day have inspiring story to tell, no matter what struggles and hardship we are going through now 1 day we shall have a testimony ya what we have gone through, The key to success is to focus on your goals and have a positive mindset always 🙏
Mko warembo sana Lynn 💕

Watching from Sweden and I am so inspired. Thank you Lyn! I binge watch your content and I never had any video I didnt learn from. Bless you.
Ai, my Lynn and nowdays you're bringing us story mzuri mzuri tu, I think we are learning more and more about business and no giving up in life
This lady is pretty like Lynn Ngugi with great inspirational story. You two women are an epitome of Kenyan true-hard-work women. We have Kenyan women who truly merit their achievements through sheer hard work. Leave alone free riders/Kula fare category, Helen, Lynn and many others need genuine accolades. I affirm you ladies.
I usually don't comment on these interviews, but the last two interviews you have conducted lately??? Bright star and Hellen's, I'm really inspired that I'm on my right path to reach my set goals.
Amen 🙏
Same here full of inspiration
Thez no Elevator to success,,

She made me a cute jump suit... Wish I could afford her always coz she is so professional and her work assistants have a keen eye.
Ellen is such a gentle soul. Sooo calm, collected. May God continue to bless the work of her hands🙏🏾
Very inspirational interview on so many levels. My takeaway point: Find a gap, fill it and leave the rest to God. May your business prosper Hellen to even higher grounds.
Having just walked out of a toxic ldr, I fully relate with this lady. Manipulation from the so-called boyfriends is real. Keep soaring Hellen, pure gold must go through fire❤️
Am so happy for Hellen at some point we hustled together,fate made us meet we used to cry a lot together and am so glad God made us meet.Congratulations Helen!
Thanks gal, my time with you is truly treasured
This is so lovely Lynn learnt alot from her am going through such a relationship of him choosing a Subaru of his own
Acknowledging God in every step one makes is the Key. Blessed by Helen's story.. she's really motivated me.
