[@ruthnyaga909]

Wow! She is very articulate,knows her craft so well.Nana is very passionate about her work. She didn't just get handed things she put in the work.

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Thank you and yes lots of hard work and effort thanks for watching

[@barrykiplagat]

This lady is beaming with brilliant ideas for the Tourism sector.She is one of the few people that genuinely have passion for Kenya prospers.

[@TIEYIEN]

Great session. Notice the way Phil does not interrupt his guest. Very easy to the ear.

[@lynbaker2321]

yeap .. that I love about Phil as a host .. Great hosting skill... a great listener .. Keep it up Director

[@mourinekimani2637]

❤Nana she deserves being minister tourism sounds like it would flourish under her watch

[@Lorraine432]

First time watching this show. Finally a break from the mediocrity in the Kenyan media. 10 more Nana Gecagas and the positive impact on society will be inevitable. Quite an inspiration. Phil Director good job.

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Yes he's done a great job showcasing all Kenyans and thanks for watching

[@lizwilson4245]

Just browsing and saw the name. I am glad I watched this. The name have nothing to do with the dedication I noted. Nana, I do not know you but knew your grandma and granddad your Dad and Auntie Noni. That was during the 60/70s. I must say you are one in a million young Kenyans who has passion and energy that's rare. Having listened to you and your history, you are the best example of a determined young intellectual of your time who needed to be where she could burn her energy. To love your job not for personal reasons but to prosper Kenya in Tourism Industry is a credit of high degree. You are talented, well spoken, beautifully humble as you present yourself. A job well done by a young CEO. You are still young and excited with much energy. Look for another spot to elevate in our beloved Kenya. We should be on the world map again for best reasons badly needed today.

[@lornasheila]

I love how she articulated her words with precision. I learned so much from this interview and I can tell her energy is awesome! She is an iron lady who worked so hard during her tenure and has a good track record, but few Kenyans will always dispute that. Nana deserves flowers for her achievements and accomplishments.

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time for watching

Nana's Tenure spoke for itself...from generating revenue, marketing Kenya on the global scale and doing all these while being a MOM ! I mean ... You really can have it all when you put structures in place !🤍🤍🤍

[@elizabethadhiamboomolo7127]

WOW NANA IS AS REAL AS CAN BE. I was in school with her Mum n Aunties. In fact her Aunty on her Dads side was my prefect. We tend to forget that coming from such a high profile family makes one unreal. 🎉 GO GAL GO..... MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BE YOUR PERSONAL FRIEND AND MINISTER

The government needs people like her. She’s a go-getter. She should run for governor of Nairobi someday. She looks a lot like her grandfather, Jomo.

[@normanthenormand7554]

Go getter my ass? This is somebody who has never had to work for money, she has never achieved anything. When I read some comments here I see how stupid people are

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Thank you and for your kind words... onwards and upwards

[@Cardos24]

What a genuine Kenyan tourism ambassador, Nana is an inspiration to many souls across the globe through her life experience. Wish could meet her. Well done, Nana.

[@reeses4850]

The immediate Kenyatta family are actually very financially disciplined and not into flaunting their wealth. Especially the Mama Ngina clan. She guards that wealth like a hawk and is the engine behind that business empire. Mzee Jomo left her land but she turned that around to a business empire with REAL businesses. Udi Gecaga seems to have raised this lovely and level headed lady with similar discipline. This govt could use her natural talent in the Tourism sector but sadly the UDA manufactured class warfare does not allow "Dynasties" in the fake "Hustler" space. Otherwise great conversation. btw, her mom (Jenny) was also a GREAT sprinter in her day.

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Thank you for your comments and acknowledgement and thank you for watching

[@jamesmali8233]

Um, when the family patron bought land with his eyes, you're taught to not flaunt your wealth otherwise old wounds might be opened and just like that you lose everything. Remember Mugabe sons. Sadam sons. But kudos to them for doing they home work and not going that way.

[@cephaswafula6431]

Nana you're brilliant. Your passion for the brand Kenya is unmatched.

[@agathanjoroge9572]

Glad I came across this.

[@panafrican.nation]

I learned a lot. There was a lot I didn't know about Nana. Like she was a top sprinter. She mentioned Jennifer Hudson. Not many people know that Jennifer's now ex-husband is half-Kenyan, from a Kenyan father. I had no idea that Wyclef Jean came to Kenya. Must have been when I was abroad for school, coincidentally where Nana said she went to high school, Boston, Massachusetts. The university that her uncle attended, Amherst isn't that far away from Boston, probably nearer than Naivasha is from Nairobi. I make a joke about Wyclef Jean, that Kenyan policemen going to Haiti are just answering the call in his song _Please call 911_ . 47:34 She's right. Kenya exports top notch hospitality professionals, across the world. I know someone in Switzerland. Just recently I learned (from the Chams Media channel) that the GM of a top hotel in _Azerbaijan_ is Kenyan, and he applied for the job from Kenya. I've randomly learned of many, even across Africa.

I'm late for class but here nonetheless. Nana is a gem . I wish she expounded more the dyslexia cus I know a friend with a young dyslexic son and nobody seems to be able to her.. The young boy has been to class four but had to go back to grade one this year and it's so sad to watch his mom who's my friend watch helpless.. We are still behind with such in Kenya... Loved the episode director Phil... You don't know how greatly you are impacting us. ✍️👌

[@nanawanjikugecaga]

Thank you for your feedback I will be doing a conversation around dyslexia soon

[@duretti]

@@nanawanjikugecaga thank you.. I will be on the look out for the same

[@1on1withjune81]

So sad to read that the boy is taken back grades. In UK that is taken seriously and a child is given extra support for the rest of their education and even at work one can notify your employer in order to get support. I am sure that applies in most countries. I remain to be corrected
