CHRISTINE KHASINAH-ODERO, the founder of the networking enterprise for Kenyan mothers Supamamas, is a woman full of passion and charisma according to SYLVIA WAKHISIwho sat down for tea with her.

After weeks of chatting and planning, I am finally about to meet Christine Khasinah-Odero, a charismatic woman with a strong personality, who has stolen the hearts of many mothers.

Christine has created a company which focuses solely on mothers, reminding them they are special and creating events that nourish mothers both personally and professionally. An MBA graduate from the University of Liverpool (Marketing), Christine has created one of the truly innovative companies in Kenya.

Prior to Supamamas, Christine had a tours and travels company that unfortunately didn’t take off. She also worked at an auto mechanic company. She served many roles in her 2 ½ year tenure in the company, including the role of tea girl. It’s not every day you hear of an MBA holder doing such a job, but Christine did just that, learning the tools of the business trade there prior to founding her award-winning company.

Business Daily Review

Q&A: The ‘supamama’ who saw the potential in Kenya’s mother and baby industry

"I am sitting in a small coffee shop in Karen, an affluent suburb in Nairobi. I am meeting with Christine Khasinah-Odero, a Kenyan entrepreneur who has taken a somewhat unusual road towards business success. Instead of engaging in ICT, agriculture, real estate, or finance – which are viewed as Africa’s top sectors – she has found a profitable niche in Kenya’s widely overlooked mother and baby market."
