I find it interesting that cis men will say violent things about women and call it “banter” meanwhile women are trying to survive this hell. Kenyan “conservatives” are the most confused people IMO. Like, their conservative views are mostly to do with what other people do with their lives. Like, mind your own business Kamau.… Read More Thinking Things and Things Thinking
1. Which mainstream Kenyan musician will release a protest song? I thought about this as I was listening to Burna Boy’s Monster’s You Made. What happened to protest songs in Kenya anyway? 2. Why do we assume that having one of “our own” in a position will somehow cause a change in a situation or… Read More I Really Wonder
Some time back I asked on Instagram whether people generally felt heard. I think sometimes I like to imagine I am not heard but at the same time I have to question – Am I speaking my truth? Am I speaking to people who want to listen to me? (because let’s be real, people can’t… Read More Hello? Can you hear me?

For example, when I feel overwhelmed, I listen to Yiruma, an artist I probably wouldn’t have come across had someone not shared him with me. I clearly remember when a friend sent me… Read More Music is my Love Language
I give things away if I don’t need them and when I have many of the same thing. I don’t even like having many of the same thing in part because there is never need for them. Part of having many things is the culture of consumerism which I try my hardest not to practice.… Read More Things. Lots of Things
Firstly, sign up for my newsletter. I was listening to Podcasts since reading seems like a rumour and figured I should write about the podcasts that I have been able to listen to. Because obviously, there are some I have just seemed to not be able to listen to. The Homecoming Podcast with Dr Thema… Read More What I’m Listening To: Podcasts
