Unfinished Businesses

Lately i have been having loads of energy;despite the fact that i stick to my routine jogging and occasional travel,i still feel a need to maximize that energy.When i was growing up,reading & writing were my great hobbies,but somewhere along the way,i abandoned them.As i grow older(and perhaps wiser)i have realized that i can ran away from the truth but not for long!

So here I am,with my unfinished businesses,of writing &reading!
 I hope you will enjoy reading my blog and giving me more ideas & above all,MOTIVATION.

The Kenyan Diaspora Has Been Trivialized And Treated As A Side-line

I am writing this as I try to overcome the shock I got a few weeks ago after learning that the Diaspora desk had been ‘reduced and fitted in’ with the Digital and New Media in the newly created Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU) whose appointees are an all man team of popular journalists and social bloggers. Being a woman, I should have been more disappointed with the gender misrepresentation since no woman was appointed to the PSCU team (of five men), even when the constitution is black and white on the one third gender rule.   It seems that women empowerment is not an issue of concern to the Presidency, and as a result, for the next five years, women will stay away from a platform that would’ve allowed them to air their issues, despite their significant media, communications and public relations presence. But what shocked me most was the appointment of one Denis Itumbi as the Director of Digital, New Media and Diaspora affairs. I have no issues with him an

Before You Relocate.....You May Have To Consider.

Lately,there are rising cases of young Kenyans seeking any possible way to relocate abroad citing economic problems and lack of opportunities in the country. This is coming at a time when the US is working on its immigration reforms, which may see the abolishment of the Green card lottery. Many Kenyans see this as a nip in the bud for their hope of living the American dream in the land of opportunity. This need to emigrate is also coming at a time when cases of human rights violations and even death of Kenyan domestic workers in the Middle East are rising. Only yesterday, a Kenyan woman who had been hired as a domestic worker to work in Saudi Arabia was rescued from what is believed to be human trafficking by a Saudi princess.In March last year, a Kenyan woman, Esther Wanjiru Mwikamba, 26, succumbed to death in the United Arab Emirates a month after a brutal beating in a Dubai parking lot.  These are just a few of the many horrible stories that we get to hear every day, and

ArtCaffe is not the problem;neither are the croissants!

So today for the very first time I get to learn about a certain ArtCaffe that is being accused of racism and selective discrimination in Nairobi.  Apparently, ArtCaffe became operational in 2009, and it has since extended to four main branches; Westlands, Gigiri, Junction and Karen. You see, the reason I may be hearing about it for the first time today is because those are not my ‘normal visit/frequented’ places! Perhaps if it was about Paul’s Cookie Man’s Bakery on Tom Mboya Street or the pastry shop at the Nairobi Naivasha stage, I’d be well conversant! For the few times I have been to the Village Market, I do not remember taking any drink or snack there.  Not that I do not love pastry; I always have to resist myself from taking a croissant from one of ‘the state-of-art’ bakeries here in Paris. A simple butter croissant goes for a cool 1 or 2 euros! Now imagine if I took two daily!   But what amazes me is that, I haven’t at any given time been refused the pleasur
