About Me
I'm Manasseh Sereka & cars aren’t just machines—they’re my language my sketches speak louder than words I groove with the greats—MJ, Prince, and beyond
Hi, I’m Manasseh Sereka. I was born on September 30th, 2009, and I’m the youngest in my family—proud son to George and Alice Likimani, and little brother to two awesome siblings.
I’ve had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy since I was 7. Right now, I can’t walk and my hands are starting to get weaker too, but that doesn’t stop me from being me. I don’t go to school, mostly because of how schools are built and how my condition keeps changing, but that hasn’t slowed down my learning one bit.
I’m really into cars—like really into them. I can talk for hours about engines, different car models, when they were made, and even the history behind car companies. Whether it's a 1967 Ford Mustang or a 2020 Tesla Model Y, I can break it all down for you. Drawing is another thing I love—especially sketching cars. It’s like bringing my ideas to life on paper.
Music is a big part of me too. I’m into old school pop—Michael Jackson, Prince, and the legends. Their music just speaks to me.
People say I’m smart, and I guess that’s because when I love something, I dive deep into it. I don’t let my condition define me. I just see it as part of my journey—and trust me, this story’s only just getting started.

My Skills
I may be young, but when it comes to cars, I’ve got knowledge that surprises even grown-ups. I can explain how different engines work, tell you which model came out in what year, and even give you the history behind car companies from all around the world. Whether it's a classic Mustang, a sleek Mercedes, or the latest electric cars, I know their stories inside and out. I don't just love cars—I understand them. It's like I was born with engine oil in my veins.
Aside from cars, I also love drawing. I sketch vehicles, scenes, and sometimes just what I imagine in my head. Art helps me express everything I feel and dream about. Music is another big part of my life. I'm into old school pop—Michael Jackson, Prince, and those kinds of legends. I may not go to school right now, but I learn every single day through the things I love. My condition might make my body slower, but my mind? It's always racing.

My Dissected Engine Drawing
If there’s one thing I love more than talking about cars,
it’s showing how they work. That’s why I recently drew a
dissected engine—one of my favorite pieces so far. I
wanted to go beyond just the outside of a car and
highlight what’s happening under the hood. With this
drawing, I broke the engine down into parts and labeled
each section to help people understand how all the pieces
come together to make a car move.
From the pistons and crankshaft to the intake valves and
spark plugs, every part has a role, and when they work
together, that’s when the magic happens. I used color and
shading to make it easier to see which parts connect and
how energy flows through the system. I believe learning
should be fun and visual—especially when it comes to
machines as cool as engines. Even if you’ve never looked
inside a car before, this drawing is my way of helping you
see just how amazing they really are.
How a Turbocharger Works – My Drawing Explained
I love digging into the parts of cars that make them
faster, smarter, and cooler. One of those parts? The
turbocharger. I recently drew a detailed illustration
showing how a turbo works, with each part labeled and
highlighted to help people understand where all that boost
comes from.
A turbocharger is like a super-breath for an engine—it
pushes more air into the cylinders so the car can burn
more fuel and create more power. My drawing shows the two
main parts: the turbine side and the compressor side.
Exhaust gases spin the turbine, which then powers the
compressor that pushes fresh air into the engine. I used
arrows and colors to show how the air and gases move
through the system. It’s a small part with a big job, and
I think it’s one of the coolest pieces of car tech out
there.
My Journey with Hope
I’m Manasseh Sereka, and I live with Duchenne Muscular
Dystrophy (DMD). It's something that’s part of my life,
but it doesn’t define who I am. Yes, it’s made my muscles
weaker, and I can’t walk like I used to—but that hasn’t
stopped me from dreaming big, learning more, and doing the
things I love. What makes all of this easier is the love
and support I get from my family. My mom, dad, and
siblings are my team. They remind me every day that I’m
strong, even when things get tough.
If you're a kid like me, or a parent reading this—just
know, you're not alone. It’s okay to have hard days, but
it’s also okay to laugh, to be proud of who you are, and
to chase what you love. Whether it’s music, cars, art, or
anything else, your passions are powerful. DMD might
affect the body, but it can never limit your heart, your
mind, or your dreams. Keep going. Keep believing. We’re
all in this together—and you’re stronger than you know.
