My name is Grace Adhiambo Orao.I am 24.I am a Kenyan from Luo tribe. Luo is one of the 47 largest tribes in kenya. Adhiambo is my Luo name, Traditional name meaning-born in the evening. For females born in the evening they are called Adhiambo and for male its Odhiambo. For some reasons all most luos by the name Adhiambo or Odhiambo are intelligent in some way. That’s true.I prefer to be called by my second name most times because it defines who i am and where i come from and am proud of that.
If you feel Adhiambo is such a long name call me ADHIS.
I am a student and student leader at the University of Nairobi pursuing Bachelors in Project Planning and management.I love diversity
