History has been made as we celebrate the first Italian-Kenyan to occupy an Italian municipality seat! This significant achievement took place in the municipal province of Napoli, marking a monumental milestone in Kenyan history.
Marco Russo, born to a Kenyan mother and an Italian father, is the man behind this historic achievement. Born in Kenya and hailing from Nyandarua county , Marco proudly identifies as Kenyan by birth. His diverse background and multicultural upbringing have undoubtedly contributed to his dynamic approach to life and leadership.
Professionally, Marco Russo is a health practitioner, dedicated to improving the well-being of his community. But his talents and passions don’t stop there. Marco also serves as a referee in the Italian lower football divisions, showcasing his versatility and commitment to sports. In addition to his professional pursuits, Marco is a music enthusiast who hustles on the side as a DJ. He owns a growing soul music franchise dubbed “Back in Soul,” which reflects his love for music and his entrepreneurial spirit.
Marco’s victory is a first in the Kenyan history books, and he joins a growing list of Kenyans making history abroad. Recently, a Kenyan won the mayoral seat in Ireland, and the current British Prime Minister has roots in Kenya. These achievements highlight the global impact of Kenyans and their contributions to various fields worldwide.
Reflecting on this journey, it’s inspiring to note that even Barack Obama started on a similar path, rising from humble beginnings to become a global leader.
Marco Russo’s accomplishment is not just a personal victory but a testament to the potential and resilience of Kenyans around the world. This one is for the history books, and it serves as a reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead for those who dare to dream and persevere.
