Where Dreams Take Flight Part II
Linet was three when she arrived at Kakuma refugee camp. Growing up there shaped her quiet courage, her determination, and a presence that speaks before she even says a word.
Her dream of modeling started young, staying up late for Americaās Next Top Model, imagining herself on the runway. But it became more than a dream. She asked questions: how was this made? Who made it? Why?
Now, Linet walks runways with confidence and purpose. Every time she steps into a Pambo Letu piece, especially the MSETO collection, she doesnāt just wear it, she lives it. She carries the story, the culture, and the hands that made it.
Fashion isnāt just clothing. Its identity. Itās culture. Itās courage. And Linet embodies it all.
⨠Stay tuned for Part III, where Linetās vision for the future begins to unfold, and the impact of her journey reaches beyond the runway. āØ

Before the World Saw Her
Before she ever stood in front of a cameraā¦
Before she carried a story for the world to seeā¦
She was just a little girl learning how to be brave.
Her name is Ray @ray.linnet
She was born in South Sudan, but her childhood unfolded in Kakuma refugee camp, arriving there at just three years old with her mother and grandmother. It wasnāt an easy place to grow up, yet it became the ground where her strength quietly took root.
Life taught her resilience early; classrooms were few, moments of exclusion stung, and being different was always visible.
But childhood still found a way:
laughter with siblings
friendships that made the days lighter
a grandmother whose words carried more power than circumstance
āShe reminded me that where you begin does not decide where you end.ā
Her path through school from Kakuma to Kapenguria, Nakuru, and eventually Lugulu Girlsā High School was more than movement across places. It was a slow, steady widening of possibility, shaped by courage long before she realized it.
Then one day, our paths crossed and we were instantly inspired.
Meeting her wasnāt just about finding a model; it was a moment to celebrate resilience, creativity, and heart in motion. We knew immediately that her story was one we wanted the world to see.
Today, she carries the MSETO collection a story of courage, craft, and community still unfolding.
From childhood dreams to runways, stages, and beyond, her journey is just beginning.
⨠Stay tuned for Part II where her curiosity, creativity, and fashion dreams begin to take flight. āØ
