S1E3: It Was His Christmas Gift | Raising Creatives ft Winnie Kisyoka

Winnie Kisyoka has spent much of her life teaching children with special needs. In her classroom, she learned to look past grades and appearances, to notice the quieter signs of intelligence and potential. That perspective followed her home, shaping how she raised her own children. She recalls spotting Kennedy’s creative side before he had words for it himself. He was drawn to music, media, and people. While the rest of the family leaned introverted, Kennedy could walk into a room and connect easily with children, adults, even his grandfather. Winnie recognized it as the temperament of an artist. His interests shifted over the years. In primary school he dreamed of joining the KDF. In high school he became fascinated with money, opening his first bank account with pocket money she sent him. Yet alongside those ambitions, his creative streak persisted. Winnie nurtured it gently, enrolling him in DJ training with DJ Sadic after high school and encouraging him to keep exploring. When it came time for further studies, Kennedy chose film and TV. He also studied accounts, explaining to his mother that financial literacy would help him manage the wealth he hoped to build from his art. For Winnie, it was a proud moment—not because she directed his choices, but because she had given him the freedom to find his own path. Her story is one of seeing talent early, supporting it quietly, and trusting that a child will grow into their gift if given the right space. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
