Her journey into the fashion world was however also spurred by her father Mundia Muchiri who is a veteran journalist himself. Speaking to The People's Millicent Muthoni Mr Muchiri narrated how his daughter gravitated towards blogging.
Sharon Mundia's dad started inculcating the culture earlier on in her life “I have always bought books and magazines obsessively for my family, so Sharon started reading Vogue, Vanity Fair and other such magazines at a very young age. She always had a flair for the English language and at first I thought she would become a magazine editor in the footsteps of South Africa’s Khanyi Dhlomo, the former True Love editor" he says.
The pretty looking blogger started out at Rusinga where she did the GCE system before heading to Monash University in South Africa to study Management and Marketing as her dad anticipated she would go into banking or corporate management.
Far from it, after one year workig in Nairobi, Sharon decided she wanted to persue her interest in blogging. She made a pact with her parents that she would give it a one year trial. "She told us she wanted to quit her job and do this on a fulltime basis and we said yes, on condition that it’s a trial thing for one year"
Her risk paid off as she started getting offers and won the Fashion Blog of the year at the BAKE Awards. What makes Sharon special is that she has stayed true to her ideals and the business world is yet to corrupt her mind. She has turned down big deals from some brands, simply saying she won’t tell her readers to use products she wouldn’t use herself.
