From Kenya to the world 🇰🇪
Kenya’s fifth and current president, William Ruto, stopped by our final regular season game to show support for our favorite Kenyan, Madina Okot ❤️
The enemy doesn’t want you engaged, motivated, passionate, feeling anything. He’d love for you to go through life numb, isolated, never showing this world who God made you to be. Don’t fall into that trap. You may get knocked down, but don’t go into hiding.
Nobody tells you this: You can wake up and decide that's enough. Enough of the low standards. Enough of the bad habit. Enough of the outdated identity. Enough of whatever. You don't need some dramatic reason, either. It's perfectly reasonable to wake up one day, say "this no longer works for me," and make a change. You can reinvent yourself. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as you need to create the life you want.
During a meeting with President of Kenya @WilliamsRuto, we discussed the development of high-tech cooperation across various sectors: investment attraction, agriculture, and education. We are ready to share our experience with Kenya and implement joint projects. We agreed that our teams will work out the details of possible cooperation.
I thank Kenya for supporting Ukraine’s resolutions in the United Nations General Assembly. We also paid special attention to cooperation within international organizations.
Today, I had the honour of taking my oath of office before @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres as Director-General of the United Nations Office at Vienna and Executive Director of @UNODC.
In taking this oath, I am reminded that international civil service is, above all, a commitment to people. As I solemnly declared my dedication to carry out these functions with integrity, impartiality, and the utmost regard for the purposes and principles of the United Nations, I reflected on the responsibility that comes with this trust.
I step into this role with humility, gratitude and a profound sense of duty, and look forward to working with colleagues and partners across the UN system, and the world to advance peace, security, justice and the rule of law, for a more prosperous and dignified future for all.
DID YOU KNOW: Dennis Pritt Road in Kilimani area is historically named after British lawyer Dennis Pritt, who led the defense team for the 'Kapenguria Six' during Kenya’s struggle for independence. To show his appreciation, President Jomo Kenyatta, a beneficiary of Pritt’s legal mind, named the road next to State House, in Pritt’s honour.

When I was a child, Venus was always my favorite player.
She was powerful & fast.
She was always humble & gracious.
But most of all, she had the most vibrant & positive energy every time she stepped on court.
