Ellen is the best..she made our dresses for a wedding back in 2019...big up💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
Ellen has a rich voice and very articulate .. I'd listen to this a million times
This lady Hellen is so authentic. She's made me some dresses in the past and I tell you she is hands on. Doesn't lie, picks up your calls, listens to your requests and makes it happen. She is genuine and loveliest designer I know. God bless you always. Am so happy to hear her story. She's a wonderful person.
Thank gal
This is very true
Very inspiring Story. One thing which I realized from the Story is that She is an awesome employer because for employees to own the Job and work extra hours, means that they are Happy and motivated in their work. Kudos 👍 Lynne 👌
Where is her shop located
Am a kitenge lover and would like her make one for me
You were a blessing to me. You were my neighbor in Bururu and you gave me strength at a time when I was so low. Am so happy to see the blessings in your life. May God continue enlarging your territories.
Hey Carol I remember you. I am glad our paths crossed.
Hey Carolyne, inbox me her number
@@werelawrence4686 am sorry but you would have to ask her
@@carolynegakuo1093 lts very difficult to reach her.l thought if you give me her number it will be possible for me to talk to her
Starting from scratch and now she is inspiring us,,,, thank you God for your faithfulness
I have been so inspired and encouraged. I'm out of words. Thanks Lynn and Hellen
One day, I will tell my story to the world. Am really inspired by your story Hellen. And definitely, we start somewhere. Time and trusting the process matters most. Thank you Lynn for covering her story 😊
Amen
Hellen your amazing and your taste is something else.
The only thing that matters is when you believe in ur self, I was toilet in a restaurant bar, sell vegetables, njugu and mitumba on the street, defeated to pay rent , work as house maid, now I'm working in abroad as a secretary without any college certificate, I can pay sch fees for my siblings one In college two in highschool and my mom's house also I'm building from no body to some body, we were so poor we didn't even have house ,me and my sister we use to sleep at the neighbor's house and I remember how her daughter in law use to tell us that we should pay or help them to clean hmmm, there's God in heaven never give up my Mom went through alot she was the most poorest woman in a village of rich people with beautiful big house yet my mom in single small house iron sheet door . Truly there's God in heaven
Ellen... her humility, her talent..the warmth in her voice... May God continue to bless the work of your hands
This lady is pretty like Lynn Ngugi with great inspirational story. You two women are an epitome of Kenyan true-hard-work women. We have Kenyan women who truly merit their achievements through sheer hard work. Leave alone free riders/Kula fare category, Helen, Lynn and many others need genuine accolades. I affirm you ladies.
Such a strong woman. Above all she recognises God in everything. A prayerful woman is a beautiful woman
This is a beautiful interview.I have personally interacted with Hellen and her customer service is excellent and she does an amazing job .Am glad I choose you for my ruracia dress because you didn't disappoint.The story was very encouraging and uplifting thanks for sharing .
I cant be the only one forever amazed by Lynn's humility. Great episode as always
I usually don't comment on these interviews, but the last two interviews you have conducted lately??? Bright star and Hellen's, I'm really inspired that I'm on my right path to reach my set goals.
Amen 🙏
Same here full of inspiration
Ai, my Lynn and nowdays you're bringing us story mzuri mzuri tu, I think we are learning more and more about business and no giving up in life
This story has really touched me...it has reminded me of a guy who took advantage of me cause of my situation (being an orphan) fell into his trap cause i was seeking refuge. I'm now a single mom of 3 struggling for my kids. I feel one time will share my story
You are strong 💪 ❤️...Your 3 kids must be very proud of you...
Great 👍. I worked in TRM 2013 and I loved when someone tips me .and now I always tip people who serve me out there.
Thez no Elevator to success,,

Ni yake ama ni ya kurent ?
@Sarah Njeri...learn to fix another womans crown..so uas will b next...trying to tear her into pieces is lik trying to put her candle off hoping uas lights brighter...renting or her own...the House is goals🔥🔥
@@cecimwangi7203 what is wrong with asking if it's rented or not ? Crown inatoka wapi hapo ?
@@sarahnjeri105 we are saying the house is goals...rental or her own...
Its none of ua business to know whether ts rental or her own...thts the problem.
@@cecimwangi7203 yes like the Subaru was goals 🤣 you are right it's goals 🤣.
Very inspirational interview on so many levels. My takeaway point: Find a gap, fill it and leave the rest to God. May your business prosper Hellen to even higher grounds.
The Women /Female Association is very Proud you Dear Hellen ❤👏👏👏👏
So is the Male Association 😜
She made me a cute jump suit... Wish I could afford her always coz she is so professional and her work assistants have a keen eye.
May all of us 1 day have inspiring story to tell, no matter what struggles and hardship we are going through now 1 day we shall have a testimony ya what we have gone through, The key to success is to focus on your goals and have a positive mindset always 🙏

Beautiful testimony
I was about to do my math homework, and then I made a reasonable mistake of clicking on this video out of the blue. I don't usually sit still and watch any video that’s longer than 15 minutes, and sometimes I choose to fast-forward because nobody has got time for that. Still, surprisingly I was able to sit through this entire 1:02:20 hour video and listen to her inspiring story because I have had bumps and bruises in my life and maybe worse than hers but listening to her suddenly diminished my story. This story was therapeutic for me in many ways, and it gives out hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Happy to be a new subscriber.
Amazing amazing story, i have learned alot mummy, so touching and am happy when you keep on mentioning our really living miracle GOD for his grace and favour, it's very true without God we are nothing, thanks so much, am a kenyan but am watching from saudi Arabia
This lady went through much, humble and willing to make it; Sija maliza kuwatch but at this point am wondering mbona haungeuza Subaru🤔..... OK lemme finish coz it still inspiring! And she is so pretty, flawless skin☺️
We have similar experiences. I heard two miscarriages, last year and this year. Am still motherless.
I remember my first salary in garissa county was 10k. My rent was 3k, had two hse mates. Each contributed 1k. The hse had no ceiling, no tiles and shared pot latrines and bathroom.
I used to save alot and now am in a better place. I already have one title deed and I hope that before end of 2022, I’ll have two titles. Am so grateful to God. And yes you have to start from somewhere. Plus i have ocd
It's more detailed and it has made me to work extra harder here in Saudi Arabia
I love this lady, she's so humble and talented😍
she has beauty and the brains too. A HUMBLE WOMAN and A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE.
Wow i can't seize from listening to this story, i also started as a steward in java and to a waitress, so when you narrate your story i really relate very well but i now thank God cz my business is doing really well and i can't regret where i have come from, thanx gal your story is so inspirational
"ugali daaani daaani ya pipa pap" Huyo ni mimi kabisa. Nice inspiring story told by a very beautiful lady indeed.
Hellen Tolbert is just an amazing person, we have interacted with her and Ellen Design House (Ellen Designs) since Early 2019.
We wish her Success and elevation beyond where she is right now. Thank you Hellen for supporting us for those 2 years plus.
We continue doing business together @ukweli Products your professionalism had kept me coming back.
Some stories can be really wake up calls....makes success super attarctive!...Her house is just magnifiscent♥️♥️👌
Hellen ur such a blessing. Thank u for sharing your story and encouraging us. My take home,"Every sunrise is a chance to start again."
Wow!!! This story has really inspired me, I thought I was the only one going through hell in terms of paying the loans that have not born any fruits, I feel wasted. But have been encouraged by Ellen's story. Thanks, Ellen and Lynn. Be blessed.
Love your work lyn you not just telling stories but you changing lifes🥰🥰
I was so encouraged to finished the family story thru Part 1 and 2. I love the way they started and handle their family. I am so honor with wife bec. what she said was all true, that we catholic in the Philippines don’t read the bible and no preacher to explain the word of God, aside from the Priest when you go to mass. There are catechism back on those days but it was gone as years gone by. Lovely family and I admire your spiritual living. Kudos to you kabayan❤️❤️❤️
Waa ...Kila mtu Ako na story Hellen you are doing a good work
Waaah! I know this gal...she used to be my neighbour,we met when she was working at Java..hapo k-south,remember?after uhame maringo?You go gal...iam proud of you..God bless your endevours
Thank you so much Lynn for giving us hope once again from your show. We continue to grow together 🙏🏾
So inspiring considering I'm feeling between rocks with my job at the moment. I'm tapping on this grace, that after I pull myself together to quit, I'll work on a success project like her. Good job 👏.
Such an encouraging story, I hope one day i can make my own CEO.
Don't hope,belief that you will,life is a just employer,it gives you whatever you ask of it.pick a definite desire and start working towards it😉
True
am very inspired by this lady. the lesson is cherish humble beginnings and just do what you love and in due time you will end up somewhere. Thanks for this type of content.
"I am nothing without God." ♥️
We are nothing without him.

Hellen you are so humble and inspiring. Your story is so touching. I have learnt to go for your dream and never to allow people define you. Also, be careful with the kind of relationships one gets in. Some are so toxic that they can cause physical, economic, and mental health issues. Lyn you are doing great! Love you guys!
Waooo Lynn I love the way you ask questions and makes a clear explanation .
Behind every dark clouds there's a silver lining. More blessings to you helene.
Hellen , i have watched this video often and it has really given me a stepping stone.Again i am Muslim man and impressed for the love of God you do have faithfully.
I will surely pray 4 you. I wish I'd get a partner of my life with same qualities of yours.
Nynn Ngugi , you are so kind heart even a blind person would sense it from you. You not only interview people but you simply support and emotionally inspire the world for a better future. You've impacted my life.......asanteni sana.
U will😊,God will🤲bless you 🙏
Thanks Lynn and Hellen, Such an inspiring story. Thanks Hellen for sharing with us
