For Evans Murangiri, a Bachelor of Education (Arts and Social Sciences) graduand, Class of 2025, the Vice Chancellor’s Autobiography, ROOTED in Hope launch was more than an event, it was a historic moment and the perfect platform to showcase his art, tell his story, and his unique talent.
Evans’ inspiration to have the vice chancellor's sketch came from a brief, unforgettable encounter. “I met Prof. Njenga Munene walking around campus one day and was struck by his humility. How can someone of his stature relate to us students as though we’re peers? That moment stayed with me,” he recalls.
His passion for art, however, runs deeper than admiration, it’s rooted in personal loss and love. “I began drawing in 2017 after my brother passed away. He was an incredible artist. I draw to keep his spirit alive, to continue what he started.”
To Evans, art is not just a display of talent, it’s a journey of self-discovery. “If I lost my hands and could no longer draw, would I still be an artist? Who are we beyond what we do?”
Through his work, humility, and emotional depth, Mr. Evans embodies the belief that hope, purpose, and impact are what truly define us, values that are deeply rooted in both his art and Prof. Dr. Njenga Munene’s inspiring journey.
“Our journeys may be different, but each of us carries something worth sharing with the world. Stay rooted in hope, hold on to purpose, and never stop creating meaning in everything you do.” Prof. Dr. Njenga Munene.
