Michelle Ntalami has shared why she did not settle in Italy where she attended her University studies.

In an interview with Jessy Junction, Ntalami shared that her dad's demise impacted this decision.

"I lost my dad during my studies. It destabilized me a bit but I managed to finish school. After coming back from Italy I started my own very successful design company. As Dad's health was deteriorating, he made us rethink our lives."

Her dad battling cancer pushed her to produce organic products hence the birth of Marini Naturals.

"He lived right, never smoked, never drank he made me reevaluate my life. I shaved my hair during that period as Dad was also losing hair to chemotherapy.

He even funded the project, he knew the name It was him who inspired me to make natural products." She shared

Further adding

"We were the first full natural hair care products in Kenya. By the time Marini was starting, I had already made a name for myself."
