Akothee Explains Why Her Book Is Full Of Quotes

Esther Akoth Kokeyo, also known as Akothee, recently released her first book, Akothee Quotes, in a colourful book launch.

The book launch was well attended by the Who’s Who of Kenya, including Professor PLO Lumumba, Ezekiel Mutua, Betty Kyallo, Sandra Dacha, among others, with Dr Ofwoneke as the MC.

She looked regal in a red, showstopping gown (she would have killed it at the infamous Fenty launch). Her mother gave a moving speech praising her, and Akothee received the first official copy of the book.

Akothee, who commands a large following, with an impressive 3.2 million followers on Instagram told the Standard that when she wrote the book, she wanted something physical that would inspire her fans daily.

“I thought it would be good for me to have a copy for all my fans, so that they can have me physically, and they have something that they can just wake up in the morning and look up to,” she says.

On why she decided to write her first book in quote format, she says, “I call myself the queen of captions. The quotes are based on the lessons I have learned from the University of Life. What we see on a daily basis, and the way I have been able to tackle life,” she said.
