🚨 Breaking News ❤️❤️🙏
MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, has donated $42 million to HBCU Elizabeth City State University.
The school has about 2,100 students, which makes this one of the largest donations per student ever given to a university 😳
MacKenzie Scott is currently worth around $41 billion, and she has become widely known for giving away huge portions of her wealth to charities, schools, and community organizations.
Her donations have supported HBCUs, food banks, education programs, and non-profits across the country.
Many people say her approach to philanthropy is different because she moves quickly and gives large unrestricted grants, allowing organizations to decide how the money should be used.
While some billionaires focus on building wealth, MacKenzie Scott seems focused on giving much of hers away.
Most of the rain that falls in Kenya originates from the Indian ocean. Rain from the Congo basin system is prevented from crossing into Kenya by Mt. Rwenzori and Mt. Elgon. But in some rare instances, the rain makes its way to Kenya like the current off-season rains in February.
We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesn’t work.
Here’s an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud:
The data is not kind to gentle parenting.
According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality.
And yes, parenting difficulty goes up.
Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement.
For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of “gentle parenting” that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection.
But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency.
When parents impose structure, the relationship improves.
Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively.
Why?
Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible.
A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment.
A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is.
A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing.
That is not authoritarianism. That is caring.
Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost.
Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment.
That is why relationship quality goes up.
Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function.
The winning formula is not tyranny.
It is high warmth plus high structure.
The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy.
Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated.
The harder path produces the stronger bond.
Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.
@citizentvkenya May we always encounter people who are human,kind and of sound mind while looking for love!
People who understand that we were not born together, life path brought us together and things May not work out as expected and we should let each other go in peace
We’re proud to partner with @HonKangata to buy hundreds of thousands of mangoes directly from Murang’a farmers.
They’ll be distributed across Nairobi & Murang’a counties starting Monday.
School feeding programs don’t just nourish kids, they create demand for farmers. 🌱🥭
The African AI Token Tax is real - and it’s not a government fee.
It’s the hidden cost of using AI in local languages like Swahili, Amharic, Luo, Kikuyu, or Yoruba.
Most AI tools charge per token - small pieces of text. English is token-efficient. Swahili isn’t (yet). So, the same idea in Swahili uses more tokens, meaning you literally pay more. It’s a symptom of bias in how language models are built and trained.
They understand English perfectly - but treat African languages as “foreign.”
That’s why African researchers (Masakhane, Lelapa AI, AI4Afrika) are creating localized models. So we don’t have to translate who we are to be understood. AI shouldn’t charge extra for being African.

In Game of Thrones, Peter Dinklage was the only choice for Tyrion.
There was no backup plan. No other actors were auditioned.
At first he hesitated due to fantasy genre’s usual portrayal of dwarfism.
In the end, he won 4 Emmys.
