Sarah Kimeu, originally from Bwoga, Uganda, faced challenges accessing education due to family responsibilities. With support from her aunt and a pastor from Norway, she attended boarding school, launching her educational journey. Running to school as a girl honed her skills and led to an athletic and academic scholarship at Western Kentucky University, where she met her husband Joseph. Both overcame obstacles in their upbringing—Joseph from a village in Kenya—to pursue education in the United States. Sarah later founded Sasa Samosa Kitchen in Louisville, offering handcrafted samosas with locally sourced ingredients, aiming for a flexible business to support her family.
