My name is Milka Chebichii Arusei, and I am honored to be a contestant for Miss

Autism Kenya 2024. In my own unique way, I consider myself an advocate for autism

awareness and inclusion.

I was Born and raised in the vibrant city of Nairobi and having apraxia Autism myself,

I have witnessed the challenges faced by those with autism in our society and

especially having gone through my studies in a normal school. Something I am

entirely grateful to my parents for according an experience that opened my eyes to

the unique talents and perspectives of schooling with children who do not live with

autism. The fact that I made it in such a setting ignited a passion within me to make

a difference because I means that if I can do it, other Autistic persons can do it as

well.

I consider myself, beautiful, Bold, capable, worthy, valuable and fully supported by

my family and friends to begin this journey.

If I were to be crowned Miss Autism Kenya 2024, First, I would use the title to amplify

the voices of those with autism and advocate for their rights and opportunities.

Secondly, I would use available resources to run a civic education program to

educate members of the public on all things Autism because having interacted with

and studied with nonautistic people, I found that many people are not well informed

but are willing to learn. My goal is to launch a nationwide campaign that focuses on

education, employment, and social inclusion for individuals on the spectrum.

Through collaborative efforts with schools, businesses, and government agencies, I

aim to create programs that provide tailored education and job training for people

with autism. Additionally, I plan to work on breaking down social barriers by

promoting understanding and acceptance of autism in our society.

I envision a future where people with autism are not defined by their condition but

are celebrated for their unique abilities and contributions. With the platform of Miss

Autism Kenya, I am determined to work tirelessly towards creating a more inclusive

and supportive world for everyone on the autism spectrum.

Together, we can make a difference. Let’s embark on this adventure and transform

lives, one step at a time.

My Name is Nicolet Ingato. I was born on 9^th July 2006 in Nairobi Kenya. My father & mother names are Alvin Olando & Tabitha Luchesi Respectively. I’m eldest child in my family and I have only one sibling called Rita Raizer. I’m currently a student at Kestrel Manor School.

I’m a girl with a heart as big as my dreams and I’m on a mission to empower girls with autism and rewrite their narratives. My journey has been defined by resilience, compassion, and unwavering determination.

I have faced misconceptions and stereotypes about my condition. However, instead of letting them hold me back, I use them as fuel to advocate for change. I believe in the power of education and awareness to break down barriers and create a more inclusive society.

From an early age, I navigated the world through a unique lens of embracing autism as an integral part of my identity rather than a limitation. Despite facing societal misconceptions and challenges, my spirit has remained unbroken, fueled by passion to make a difference.

Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the isolation and misunderstanding experienced by girls with autism, especially those whose families chose to confine them within the walls of their homes. Determined to spark change, I’ve embarked on a journey to create a foundation dedicated to empowering these girls and advocating for their rights. 

This journey has been inspired by incidents that happened in my neighborhood where a girl with autism was impregnated by a neighbor who took advantage of her condition then later disappeared without a trace and while others lack basic menstrual hygiene knowledge and the necessities like sanitary towels. 

Through my foundation/organization which is yet to be launched, I aim to shatter stereotypes and foster a community where girls with autism can thrive, unapologetically embracing their individuality. From organizing support groups and workshops to collaborating with experts in the field, my vision is to create a safe space where girls with autism feel seen, heard, and valued.

I want the message to extend beyond the confines of my community, resonating with parents and caregivers worldwide. With unwavering determination, I seek to inspire a paradigm shift, encouraging parents to nurture their daughters' potential rather than succumb to fear and isolation.

Fueled by me own experiences and guided by empathy, my journey is a testament to the transformative power of perseverance and compassion. As I continue to trail blaze, I stand as a beacon of hope for girls with autism everywhere, proving that with determination and support, anything is possible.

I declare that, "We are not defined by our differences; we are empowered by them." With boundless courage and an unwavering commitment and support from my parents, I will rewrite the narrative for girls with autism, one empowered step at a time. 

My name is Florence Wambui Wanyoike, I am a 26 year old model. I am currently a computer science student and on my free time, I enjoy visiting children’s home and giving back to the community, playing tennis, table tennis, chess, trying out new restaurants and spending time in nature with family and friends. I am very passionate about autism and people living with autism With this title; as the autism ambassador 2024, and with my experience working with children with autism and also living abroad and interacting with kids and adults living with autism, first is to create awareness to the general public about the condition and to advocate for compassion, autism being behavioral mostly, it’s hard for people to be able to tell that one has it and usually it’s because they are not aware or have enough information. The other thing is to curb the stereotypes that are associated with the condition and my favorite part is to work with the kids and adults in the spectrum to help achieve most of their goals. Thank you.
