    Sylvia. You are doing so much at the same time: a young inter-cultural interracial marriage, finding your own feet in a totally new culture and country in the middle of a global pandemic, starting a food busines, selling foods we don't have here in Kenya(I mean, who thought to find pretzels in Kisumu..it has always been a high end bakery find)...that is not even everything. I applaud you. I acknowledge the courage it has taken to take the leap into the unknown for love. The courage it has taken to start a business as a woman in a totally new country. I am glad that you do have a support system back at home, and here too. It was wonderful to see your friend in the background in the stall.
    I applaud Kelvin (Korree) too for the courage it took to marry a woman from a totally different culture. It might seem easier for a man to do so, because of the privileges that come with being a man...but I am sure it hasn't been easy for him either. Marriage is not easy, not for the man or the woman. Always a work in progress.
    I wish you well. The both of you. I wish you peace and love and joy in your marriage. I wish you deep learning and the willingness to grow together as the soul mates you very clearly are. You were meant to meet, there are no coincidences. I wish you health; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, for yourselves and your families.
    Most of all, I wish you success in your businesses, Sylvia and Kelvin. Sylvia you have a unique concept. Keep going, it will pick up and grow.
    Lots of love.🙏❤️

      @Solomon, you spoke blessings upon them with great Wisdom just Solomon in the Bible.
      May you be blessed too.
      Or Solomon here refers to a place ?
      Both ways is fine.Amen

    Oh girl! If they aren't paying your bills..!! That is very true. So much energy is used up in paying attention to those who bring negativity with them, such that one feels depleted and discouraged. And of course...due to all that negativity one has no energy to get their dreams achieved, thus proving true the nay sayers.

    Silvia, you are well educated. You might not have had longevity in the classroom, which anyone who has read a little about Amish knows that is the norm in your community. However, the 8 years of formal education you get is more rigorous than many high schools and even colleges provide. The life skills you learn so early help you to live purposeful lives. Your mastery of effective communication and your sound decision-making is a clear evidence that you are well educated in the ways that matter. Your mind is very sound and your soul and spirit are congruent. That makes you an amazing woman, sister Silvia!!! I adore how you glorify God and bring laughter and a song to your heavenly Father when He watches your exploits here on earth. May you not grow weary in your pursuit of glorifying God as you serve so many.

    She should look into setting up a franchisee. Maybe have delivery, and also start a youtube channel. Once she builds her brand. To start selling her food to Supermarkets like Naivas. Also she should have a portable shop and sell her food in big Malls like in Sarit Centre and ABC. You have westerners there who would be delighted to have soemthing from home. Her ability to generate higher profit margins are endless. Social Media can play a big role in getting her food in many homes. Ever since Covid delivery in Kenya is very Common. She needs to target these big malls very fast, Cause Dominos are those kind of companies when they see these kind of trends in food have profit they will copy her business.
