Her sister was about to hit record when Githinji asked, ‘How do I say it?’"Kama daktari wa mtaa (like a doctor in the ghetto),” her sister replied. That marked the dawn of the ‘Daktari wa Mtaa’ persona that today enjoys a good following on social media. Six years later, and with several of her parents’ property sold to keep her in school, Githinji graduated and became a doctor. It turns out, you can take Githinji out of the Ghetto but you can’t take the ‘ghetto’ out of her. Through Daktari wa Mtaa, Githinji has done just that: disseminate information on preventive healthcare.
