From dreaming of joining the military as a legal specialist to finding his purpose in film and television, Kenik’s journey is a reminder that life rarely unfolds as planned, but it always finds a way to lead us where we belong. When one dream ended, he found the courage to dream again. What began as an interest discovered in church grew into a full creative pursuit at ADMI, where long nights, demanding assignments, and the thrill of production tested both his patience and his passion. In this candid conversation with Wanjiru Muiruri, Kenik speaks about the lessons that shaped him, the mentors who guided his steps, and the faith that kept him grounded through uncertainty. He reflects on how studying film is harder than practicing it, how pressure became his classroom, and how his mentor, Tim Elry, became family. From losing his plan A to finding his true calling, Kenik shows that success is not about how straight your path is, but how willing you are to rise again when it bends. This is where passion becomes a profession. This is ADMI. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
