Esther Kiiru, a determined and ambitious Kenyan woman, embarked on a life-changing journey a few years ago when she relocated to the United States in search of new opportunities.
Leaving behind her homeland, she braved cultural shocks and worked hard to excel in the field of nursing.
However, her journey didn’t stop there—she went on to establish a Ksh1 billion business venture and achieve a luxurious lifestyle, becoming an inspiration to many.
Here is her story as told by WoK;
Early Life
Esther Kiiru, a native of Murang’a, Kenya, embarked on a journey that led her to the United States where she pursued her career dreams.
She is happily married to Mr. Kiiru and is a devoted mother raising a beautiful child.
Growing up she loved watching a program called Rescue and this ignited her passion for nursing and saving lives.
Early Life in the United States
Upon arriving in the United States in November 2005, she was struck by the stark contrast in culture, particularly in the respect shown by motorists towards pedestrians and ambulances.
In Kenya, she was accustomed to vehicles rarely stopping to allow people to cross, even at designated zebra crossings.
Witnessing the courteous behavior of American drivers and their difference to ambulances convinced Esther that this was a place where she wanted to settle and contribute to the healthcare profession.
Pursuit of a Nursing Career in the United States
Motivated by a longstanding passion for nursing, Esther decided to pursue a career in the medical field. However, gaining admission to nursing school in the United States was no easy feat.
The process involved overcoming challenges such as long waiting lists and rigorous entry exams.
Despite struggling with English, Esther demonstrated unwavering determination and gave her all to achieve her dream.
Her perseverance paid off when she graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and became a registered nurse in California—an achievement she cherishes to this day.
Entrepreneurial Ventures and Business Success
Driven by her humble background and a desire to provide a better life for her child, Esther Kiiru was motivated to become a high achiever in the United States.
In addition to her nursing career, she embarked on entrepreneurial endeavors that would further elevate her status and financial stability.
The Birth Of Delight Homestaging
Esther’s entrepreneurial journey began when she established Delight Homestaging, a company specializing in home decoration and redesigning services for real estate properties. In an interview with KDTV, she acknowledges her husband for coming up with the company name.
Through strategic partnerships with real estate companies, her business focused on staging homes that were on the market for sale, as well as offering redesigning services to homeowners looking to transform their living spaces.
Delight Homestaging quickly gained recognition for its exceptional work, attracting a growing client base and contributing to Esther’s entrepreneurial success.
Luxurious Lifestyle and Impressive Home in California
Her unwavering dedication, hard work, and entrepreneurial success have granted her a luxurious lifestyle in California. She now resides in an impressive palatial home worth 8 million dollars, translating to over Ksh1 billion.
This substantial achievement stands as a testament to her remarkable journey and serves as an inspiration to others striving for success.
From a registered nurse to a thriving entrepreneur, she has proven that pursuing one’s passion, combined with hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit, can lead to extraordinary achievements and a life of prosperity.
As Esther continues to make strides in her business and personal life, her journey from Kenya to the United States serves as a shining example of the endless possibilities that await those who dare to chase their aspirations.
