brother set a goal to see these places with your own eyes and share this with someone you’d love to travel with, buena suerte. 👍
I lost my memory for almost two months after delivery. 😭I’d call anyone passing by to come and carry the baby in my room because I genuinely didn’t know whose baby it was.
My husband said he’d just pet me and calmly tell me, “Please breastfeed the baby before the mother comes”
For any women that need to hear this, there are loving men out there. There are men who will sit and listen to you while you talk about something that bothered you. There are men out there that will take accountability and apologize. Who can be aware of their behavior and how it affected you. Men that you can grow with. Men that will make you feel appreciated. You don't have to go through years of trauma with a man who doesn't know how to communicate and has no emotional intelligence. You are worthy of healthy love. And it is out there I promise you.
RECOVER FASTER THAN EVERYONE
Lose the day. Come back at night. Miss the gym. Go tomorrow. Waste a week. Win the next one. Get embarrassed. Stay visible. Get rejected. Try again. Fall behind. Move anyway. Stop turning every mistake into a new identity. Stop making failure mean more than it does. Stop disappearing every time life proves you’re still human. The men who win aren’t perfect. They just don’t stay gone.
The cheat code is simple.
Become impossible to keep down.
MERCY NASHIPAI LEGILISHO was born in 7th april 1998 in Loitoktok, Kajiado county as a second born and the only girl in a family of 3. I wasn't lucky enough to be born in a wealthy family but was blessed to be raised by both parents. Even though I didn't go to the best of schools I'm grateful my parents managed to take me through my primary and highschool education. May 2017 my dad brought me to a college in Nairobi to pursue Nutrition and Diabetics only to be told 2 years later that the institution was not accredited to offer most of the courses we were taking. My hope for a better future was crushed! This time round there were no more cows to sell to pay my fees . my cousin jaky hosted me at her place and 2 weeks later I got a job at a wines and spirits shop ! A job I thought was only done by uncultured girls ,was devastated! I got admission in another college but made a request to be allowed to be paying mdogo mdogo since this time I was paying my fee ! Did psychology,sat for the Knec exams and performed excellent. One afternoon as I was coming from school our matatu was involved in a car accident at pangani ,woke up in the hospital severely hurt and confused! Fast forward , I was compensated 80,000 bob which I bought the fast sand and cement for my mums house ! My zeal towards fight against FGM and early marriages led me into founding @MercyMissionKE which has been in the Frontline towards this cause! I started taking care of my family at the age of 18 , for this I've had to do many businesses to make sure that incase one fails I have a back up ! This is how I ended up into farming , selling shoes and clothes . Getting back to school this may because I'm definitely stopping at PHD . When you see me different just understand that the world was never kind enough to me , I've always fought alone, I've never had anyone picking me up or holding my hand when I fall , I've been ridiculed, people thinking it's easy because I'm a woman ! My only back up has been God !
TODAY :....
I'm the first girl to build for her parents in my village.
I've single handedly took myself through my college education,no bursaries no sponsors .
Today my foundation is sponsoring highschool students and has saved more than 1300 girls from FGM and early marriages.
Today I got my cows and my people got enough milk and food from my farms .
Looking back I'm grateful, however the future scares the hell out of me ! Sometimes I feel like quitting but when I think of all those who depend on me I dust off myself and keep going! It's never rosy on my side ! I just don't look like the problems I have been through!
Just a Masai girl from a small village in Kajiado.
This is my story .
If I got laid off tomorrow & had to replace my salary asap, here’s exactly what I’d do:
1. Go to Instagram and start a fresh account. Use a spare email. No one has to know.
If you asked me to recommend my favourite Taylor Jenkins Reid novel, I’d say, without a doubt or hesitation, it’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. But on a deeper level and having read all nine of them, I’d rave to you about the lessons each one taught me with the some quotes🧵
Got out of survival mode. Actually place God first. Let tomorrow worry for itself. Understand God will never leave me nor forsake me, having slower mornings, exercising as a routine instead of goal, eat healthier, stop drinking excessively, journal, more dates alone, etc.
Hello Stranger, Called Jaymoh, allow me to tell you a story. When I was 26 years, I owned only an extension(yes, for electricity), by 27 years 9 months, I had a million in my account. By 28 years 5 months, I had less than 100k. By 30 years, I had built my mum a house.
