Why did Kennedy Otieno impress Conran?
In a video shared by @johnny.conran on Instagram, Kennedy is seen wearing a green reflector jacket, white shirt, and grey pants with a bucket hat, which were all complemented by a big smile.
When Kennedy saw the car approaching, he started waving enthusiastically, greeting the driver and gesturing like he was welcoming him into the parking of the building, while slightly bowing.
"Every time I drive past this man, he is always full of energy, inspiring and smiling," said Conran.
Johnny wanted to know what gives the young Kenyan man that inspiration, and the latter said that ever since he was a little child, he wanted to work and change the story of his family.
"There was a time I was back home when life was difficult for me. I used to imagine of going to a place like this (Dubai) where I can work and support my family and I did," said the happy Kennedy.
