Only in Kenya can a public servant heading a transport sector earning Ksh 1M a month resign and suddenly afford a Ksh 390M chopper. If this isn’t the face of a corrupt system, what is?

Invest heavily in & protect your intellectual growth & mental longevity. Life will life, your heart may break, and your body may not stay the same, but mental acuity will stay with you thru most, if not all of it. And will help to get your own legit money, which is crucial. ✨

I would love to see a booming cottage industry in tea. It’s so easy to set up a small cottage factory producing specialty and Orthodox teas. As it stands tea board requires you to have 50 acres or more (which can also include 50, farmers with 1 acre of bushes who have agreed to

this is elite problem solving btw. even when I tell mom niko na homa she asks "utapata ruhusa ukuje nyumbani kupumzika"? 'nyumbani' rest is spiritual, emotional & the comfort of belonging gives a new perspective & renewed energy to chase your dreams

imagine being a tiny infant with your smile resting against your mothers bosom, the well spring of life, in a sweater she spent hours creating for you, what a blessed child

@_bulo_m The thing is that your male bosses don't have to shout to be heard. They do not have to be 'impossible' or demanding to get the best out of you. Your respect is not negotiable. For most women it is. Also, nicomfortable with anti-blackness to a scary degree.

did you even stop to consider the possibility that life is less about getting it right and more about being carried along by moments of unexpected grace?

not a fan of the way we have attempted to water down the importance of our sexual and erotic connections with people by giving them unserious frameworks and names. sneaky link, friends with benefits, side, fling……they were your lover and that is okay.

The missing angle here is that she’s the first advanced mathematician I’ve ever seen to take notes like a high school girl.
this 17 year old homeschooled girl refuted a conjecture that was unsolved for 40 years, and which professional mathematicians worked on for years without solving she was rejected from most graduate programs she applied to, because she did not have a degree

there is something so electric about people who are so obviously having *fun* with their lives and find light even in the hardest moments. one of my deepest beliefs is that life is for pleasure and beauty and that is not mutually exclusive with responsibility or hard work.
spend enough time around people who hate their lives and you’ll start to think that’s normal then you meet someone genuinely alive, and it rewires your sense of what life is for

so many people seem to see joy and responsibility as an inevitable life trade-off but the lives i admire most are both serious about work and serious about play

I’ve also noticed that people who hate their lives hate a bunch of other things and people who love their lives love everything around them

This stereotypical behavior of glorifying women’s suffering is exactly why the world hates feminism. They hate the freedom and access women now have, they hate that women now have the right to reject slavery and exploitation under the guise of “motherhood”
Nothing can ever beat a mother’s love! Even as the rain falls, she covers her children and lets the rain beat her 😩🥹
