Dangers of New Age Therapy!
Some people have the art of overdramatizing. Every Tuesday, they will narrate their very normal life inconveniences as a 10 part-series Greek tragedy. They will first tell you their parents never loved them & you will cry with them. As you reach over to grab tissue, they will add that their teacher abused them, their…

My One of a Kind Political Campaign
Being a “first” is always sexy but you know what’s sexier? Jesus-style-service: feet washing/ prostitute mixing/ tax collector vibing. What will my political campaign look like? Like this. Nothing will change. You will still see me, unprovoked, wearing random sunglasses at midnight in the streets of Nairobi. You will still see me, unprovoked, in New-York…

Kuregana, bibi!
Couple things can be true at the same time. On one hand, I never wish to minimize past loves, every love is beautiful in its time. On the other hand, I cannot re-write history… It is what it is… Most importantly, while I don’t wish for divorce to be my whole personality & generally prefer…

La vie Kinoise
If you are a young African woman working in Africa, and God has elevated you so that you find yourself with certain decisionmakers, good luck being respected. This is not even sexism. It’s beyond. It’s infantilization. Which is wild because how am I a child and you’re flirting? I hate to confirm the clichés but,…

Naira’s Depreciation & Kevin Gates’ 60 day Marriage
The Naira has not only depreciated it has entirely collapsed. I knew it was bad when I found out Rwandan Franc (I think for the first time) is now stronger than the Naira… In 2 years, food prices have increased by 80% and fuel has quadrupled. How are my Naija people even surviving. The fudge?…

Love & War
Just the other night, I was in the middle of having a toddler meltdown, which I am ofc not proud of. Still, I don’t only share moments that make me look good. With the rise of perfectly-curated-social media images of self; I made the commitment long ago to share my life in its most raw…
