Check out my first piece for @AJEnglish on how Women In Kenya's South Coast region are earning big from seaweed farming which is also beneficial to the environment.
Hundreds of women on Kenya’s south coast have introduced seaweed farming, a new and sustainable business.
It has helped them send their children to school and renovate their homes, all while benefiting the environment 👇

A stately send-off for our hero, Baba. Jakom may be gone, but his spirit endures. Raila Odinga’s lifelong fight for justice, democracy, and a better Kenya will forever light our path.
History isn't made in a moment,it's made stride by stride. Before Eliud Kipchoge run sub 2,he had failed once,he infact managed the second try. I have Faith that Faith Kipyegon will attempt again and achieve that milestone.
Stay Safe:
If you need to breathe, go to Mamlaka Hill Chapel or St Andrews Youth Hall.
They are open to everyone who will be seeking refuge today.

My question to @RailaOdinga .
You are campaigning for the position of the AU Commision Chair. Why must Africa consider you when your country can’t provide answers on the abduction cases in Kenya? You want to lead the continent when you are failing to lead in your own country. @mirriamp@StateHouseKenya
