Ever since Lucy Nabiki Takona was a young girl growing up in a village in Kenya，she knew she wanted to have a career in education.
   So when her father told her when she was 14 that she would have to drop out of school to marry the son of her father's friend，she ran away.It took her three days to walk through the bush to her aunt's house.
   "I was used to walking，so for me it was not something big，" Takona says， "It was more scary to get married than walk on your own in the bush."
   Later，Takona's aunt talked to some influential elders in the community who were able to persuade her father to let her continue her schooling – while schooling for many Masai girls ends in their early teen years.
   As a child，Takona says，she thought her only career option as a woman was to be a teacher.But during a trip to the Nairobi National Museum in her last year of high school，she realized there were other possibilities. "A woman took us around the museum and she really had knowledge，so from that day forward I knew girl's could be something more than teacher." Takona says.
   So she went to study at the Koiyaki Guiding School for two years on a scholarship from a volunteer travel organization African Impact.She then worked for the group as a guide for 18 months in return.
   But on the road to success，Takona has had to make personal sacrifices.She is the single mother of a 4-year-old boy. "It's rare in a Masai community to be an independent woman，" says Evaline Sintoya Mayetu，who was the first Masai woman to get the Silver Guide Qualification in March 2015. "I would like to see more Masai women go for not only the Silver Guide Qualification but go to school，to have a career of their own and break some barriers of traditional culture."
