Nothing in her voice in the airwaves betrays the legal mind in her.

While she was meant to be in the corridors of justice on a daily basis, Joan Wambui Kimani's passion for journalism pushed her to the studio instead.

No, she is not a recording artist.

She is just a hardworking young lady putting food on her table using the power of the mic.

Whenever her voice reverberates through hundreds of thousands of Kenyans' speakers at home, in the office and in the vehicles, via the frequency module of Mo Radio in Mombasa, she also satisfies one of her biggest desires - to reach out to the thousands of young girls at the Coast region.

"Many young girls at the Coast resort to looking for sponsors because of the frustrations they go through in the seemingly never ending search for jobs," says Kimani.

Although she has a law degree from Catholic University, she found herself on the radio, where she believes she has found more fun than she would have in the courtroom.

She says her desire to educate young girls from the Coast region to be financially independent.

"Financial independence means no one can lure you to do things against your morals or will," she says.

Kimani says with hard work and effort, anyone can achieve anything.

Her radio job, which has seen her change the lives and attitudes of many young girls from the Coast region, has inspired her to be more of a go getter.

She has now set her eyes on the Kilifi woman representative seat.

"This way, I will be in a better position to help the girls," says Kimani.

She believes one should worker harder than they did the previous day.

Being a content creator also helps her push her messages to the youth.

She believes the discipline shown by achievers should be emulated.

"They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers on the other hand, see it as a punishment. And that's the difference," she says.

Through hard work she has set up a company, Gee and Kim Investments, where she is the director.

Radio is one of the world's leading media outlets that offers instant conection to one's listeners.

Kimani apprecaites everyone that tunes in to listen to her every day.

"Even those that do not support Manchester City," she says, revealing the other side of her that not many people know.

She is an avid supporter of football with Manchester City being her favourite club.

Being in the spotlight accords her a unique opportunity to positively influence the youth, especially young girls.

"A problem shared is a problem half solved," she says.

The radio queen has become a household name at the Coast, making her inspirational work easier.

Her morning radio show at Mo Radio has created a platform for her to reach out to even more young his, though she is working towards broadening her reach.

“I want us to get to a point where these girls can pursue their careers instead of chasing men or sponsors around,” Kimani says.

Radio for her is the best platform to engage with her target audience and believes that her efforts will bear fruits. 

She says that the majority of young girls at the coast have given up on life and they need someone who can inspire them.

“We must keep talking to them and giving them hope and that is exactly what I am doing at Mo Radio," she says.

The station is owned by Nyali MP Mohamed Ali and has created a niche for itself among the youth.

She says she could not focus on becoming a full-time lawyer because that would limit her advocacy campaigns targeting young girls. 

She also believes that young and upcoming lawyers go through a lot and it is sometimes hard to break through to the top level.

“I haven’t quit fully but I understand the battles that one has to go through as a young lawyer. I am comfortable now working as a presenter and talking to people on a daily basis,” she says.

Her dream is to work with international media houses like the BBC and CNN but says that when the right time comes.

“That is the level that I want to get to but back home, we must have a law firm that can dedicate its work to helping artists and everyone who is talented to know their rights,” she says.

She is a strong supporter of the English Premier League and Manchester City is the club of her choice. 

Locally, she supports Bandari FC.

Internationally, she is also inspired by Eve Jihan Cooper, an American rapper, singer, actress, and television presenter from Philadelphia. 

She has a body tattoed with inspirational messages to the young people.

“Actually, I have 18 tattoos in my body and each tattoo has a meaning. I started when I was 18 years old," she says.

Kimani likes cooking and distributing foodstuffs to orphanages.
