Sosena Samson — but you know her as Sosi
The Trail
Long before any of this was official, her dad taught her to shoot with a homemade stick bow and arrow in the backyard. Years later she tried real archery and missed the target completely — she loved holding the bow anyway. That's always been her: chase the feeling, not the score.
High school Sosi was scraped knees, borrowed basketball shorts, and zero patience for sitting still. She ran with the boys and kept up with all of them. Placeholder text — swap in the real story here.
College cracked her wide open — late nights, road trips with no real plan, friendships that turned into family. This was the era she learned how to actually have fun. Placeholder text — swap in the real story here.
Her first real trip away from home rewired something in her. New language, new food, new sense of how big the world actually was — and she wanted more of it immediately. Placeholder text — swap in the real story here.
Somewhere along the way, "let's go for a walk" turned into real climbs — including Gheralta, a route so steep that locals scale it without ropes. Heights terrify her. She climbed it anyway. Trailhead selfies and sore legs became her love language.
Picture it: a boat off the coast near Mombasa and Lamu, her friends watching nervously as she climbs onto the edge — and jumps straight into the Indian Ocean. She's genuinely terrified of heights; there's always a scream, a racing heart, and then, somehow, the fear flips into pure joy. Scream first, laugh after — that's the pattern with her.
What's next has a name: Ras Dashen, the peak she's already dreaming about after conquering Gheralta. More trailheads, more stamps in the passport, more stories worth telling — wherever the next adventure is, she's already halfway packed for it.
