Today on Pearls and Heels we feature Sarah Wambi. She says “I’m Sarah Wambi. I’m trying to figure out the world but more specifically, I love sports and I would love to work to empower women and girls in all avenues possible.”

1. What do you do and what impact do you think it creates in your industry or the world?

​​I am a Digital Strategist and Media Buyer. It helps my business (gaming) find ​new users and also purchase/try our available products. It also showcases the communities we’re working with and what work we’re doing with them.

2. What things would you change along the way if you had a chance to go back to the past? 

I wouldn’t have taken the customer care job. That’s a time I hate that I still regret.

3. What would you say are the top three skills needed to succeed at your current job?

• You need to stay curious, it helps you look for new marketing avenues.

• Stay conscious of current sports events. Breaking news and sift what’s relevant for the country I’m marketing in.

• Social and digital media awareness (Media buying – Google/Facebook/Twitter) and there are digital courses that one can take to get awareness but the more you do it practically the more likely it is to stick.

4. What do you love to do, that makes you light up when you talk about it? 

Sports is my love and hate. Hate because losing is so hard to deal with. It might seem frivolous but I know how short athletes’ careers are. My 2 favourites are Serena Williams (retired, or is she? TBD) and Lewis Hamilton (F1 god). My favourite sports teams – My Lakers (yes, MY) – the first sports team I ever loved and Manchester United.

5. What motivates you to keep going? 

I want to be better at everything. I’m human so I have many flaws and I can improve.

6. How do you define success?

Joy with my progress and just letting myself breathe through it. And also less comparisons with folk I went to school with who are more financially successful.

7. What is more important for you, passion or purpose or both? Why?

Both. Passion can drive motivation when you feel stuck. Purpose keeps me even-keeled. It makes the world have a positive light.

8. A lot of people like to talk about success but not failure. We are told to embrace failure on our road to success. Is there one time you failed at something you were working on that taught you valuable lessons that you can share? What lessons were those? You can also share what you failed at if you are comfortable sharing.

Nah. Can’t talk on this one yet.

9. Have you ever faced imposter syndrome? How do you deal with it?

Yap. I just remember what I’ve actually done. Plus occasionally I have spoken to my partner and friends and they remind me how great I am. We all have those moments so I always cheerlead my friends and they do the same.

10. What advice would you give somebody just starting out in your line of work?

Keep learning and reading all the new courses you see come up.

11. Are there specific books or movies or podcasts you would recommend to somebody for them to get a better sense of what success is or what success could be like? This is an auntie moment to pass wisdom. 
• Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear is a great book if you’re looking to make incremental life changes.
• Legally clueless: Podcast by Adelle Onyango. Listening to all the different people’s journeys is an absolute inspiration to keep going on your path. And a reminder we are all so different and that’s a plus.

• Hadithi/Hadithi podcast hosted by Mariam Bishar. This one made me reflect on my high school/primary school days. It’s a reminder for me not to be so hard on myself.

12. What do you like to do outside of work?

I watch sports (Ha)!

13. What would you like your legacy to be? 

Let’s circle back in 20 years on this one. 🙂
