Mammito Eunice

Eunice Wanjiru Njoki (born 18 September 1993), known as Mammito, is a Kenyan stand-up comedian, actress, writer and an mcee. She grew up in the slums of Kibera. Early life and education Mammito was born in Nairobi on September 18, 1993. She has never been able to know her father, and she does not know how it feels to have a father figure. Her mother Nancy Njoki, a seamstress raised her single handed. She grew up in the slums of Kibera. She attended Laini Saba for primary education. Getting a meal alone, in these slums was quite a struggle. Because life in the slums was challenging, her mother was a strict disciplinarian and did not allow her to play with the neighbour's children. Mammito joined Laini Saba Primary School in 2001 in Standard one. She sat for her KCPE in 2007. She then joined Gatero Girls High School, Nyahururu in 2008 where she studied up to Form Three. In 2011 she changed school to Silanga Mixed Secondary School, Kibera where she sat her KCSE in 2011. She studied Community Development at Mount Kenya University. At that time, she was involved in a lot of comedy, poetry and dance, which her aunt and mother disapproved of, saying it made her a joker. With that, together with peer pressure setting in, she became rebellious and was sent to the village in Murang'a to stay with her grandmother. In Murang'a, she used to help her grandmother to sell school uniforms and other forms of clothes.
