I honoured an invite from @cfkafrica and @OCTOPIZZO to speak to young women who are part of CFK's empowerment program in Kibra. The program seeks to rehabilitate teenage mothers through socio-economic support, opportunities to complete their education, and sensitisation on their rights and access to justice for victims of GBV.
The young women shared their experiences and encounters, and asked several questions about challenges they have faced in their pursuit for justice. It was encouraging to witness their unyielding hope despite the immense difficulty they have had to endure.
The stories from these girls demonstrates serious institutional gaps in responding to sexual and gender based violence. These gaps have facilitated victim stigma and discouraged survivors from seeking justice. We must take deliberate interventions to protect our children and make our communities conducive for the most vulnerable to thrive.
We made a visit to the Kamukunji in Kibra, a space for democratic discourse and political conversations by members of the public. The discussions were as interesting as they were inciteful, and I appreciated the level of awareness and enthusiasm among members. I look forward to more conversations anchored in respect for democracy and tolerance for divergent political views.
Diddy Nyororo has fooled Kenyans for so long and he tried it again yesternight. He was called out and chased back to his cocoon. Kenyans are waking up and we are here for it.

Mombasa Governor should know Mama Ida is as big as a the First Lady. You do not hold her hand and attempt to have her do a 360. He needs to stay guided and composed around Min Piny.
Men,
Betting,
Masturbation,
Pornography,
Prostitution,
Alcoholism.
All go hand in hand.
They feed on each other to devour your life.
These are spiritual illnesses of self-betrayal.
Fight them off.

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!
We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
Men,
A man who overcomes lust, gluttony and greed has solved 90% of his problems.
A man's first battle is self-betrayal,
A man's first victory is self-restraint.
The man who can govern himself has the power to command success.

I'm a lucky man. Health, family, work I love, students who bring me joy, a profession worth fighting for. If you're a lawyer, you're luckier than you let yourself feel.
We spent the afternoon in Lucky summer where we conversed with the women on which way next. I was moved by their passion, indefatigable energy, and clarity on what they want from their representatives. Lucky summer wako ndakas!

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongsβbecause that was an America that had a place for me, too.
