I love this so much...every bit of it..especially as a parent to a high school senior and a college sophomore, as a founder, and as an investor with a close view of struggles and anxieties of building venture-backed companies.

We all suffer from this, and I have not come across a better and fuller articulation of this 21st century pandemic!

Today,

TODAY is for 12 yr old Kennedy Onyango whose little body was riddled with bullets as he went to the shop.

For 22 year old Beasley Kogi whose body was found full of bullets in city Mortuary.

For Eric Shieni who was shot as he walked outside parliament.

For Denzel Omondi, who was found dead in a quarry after Maandamano, the week he was graduating.

For Caroline Shiramba, whom we rarely speak of but was killed during maandamano.

For Albert Onyango who was tortured by the DCI and murdered.

For Boniface Kariuki who was shot in the head at point blank range last week.

Today, is for this country which I love and will not let go to ruins.

Today we honor those gone before us.

May God who sees all, hears all , knows all, keep us safe.

See you all out there because, RUTO MUST GO.

It is my fear, that the more self-aware we become, the less we will want of spouses. Because love - even in its abstract form - demands some imagination. Some romance. A little delusion. I am afraid, very afraid, that I have lost the capacity to entertain this necessary delusion.

Now we want all looted money recovered, whether “invested” locally or stashed abroad.
Corrupt people since independence must be prosecuted and forced to surrender the proceeds.
From the eras of Kenyatta 1, Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru and the current administration.

Mama I made it!

I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?

But tell daddy I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!
Not because I’m among the injured.
No!
Nor because I was abducted as they have to most of us.
That would have been better
I’m in a cold dark place called the morgue Mama
I know daddy will be angry why I wore his shoes
I had to, I know they are bigger but I had to
Otherwise no one could have.

I know he will complain that I have read too much political novels
Please don’t let him blame Animal Farm,
Don’t let him blame Kidagaa Kimemwozea,
Don’t let him blame Tumbo Lisiloshiba,
Don’t let him blame Kifo Kisimani,
Don’t let him blame Mstahiki Meya,
Or Parliament of Owls
They can’t be blamed.
I did it for Our country.

They hailed us for being fearless Mama!
They called it an historic moment; actually unprecedented.
Did you watch the news?
All over the country thousands of us matched forward, wearing mostly black,
chanting slogans and singing revolutionary songs.

They call us GenZ Mama.
Some Mpigs say we have watched too much Netflix and we eat KFC.
Sorry for the spelling mistakes Mama,
I meant MPs.

Did you see how we sang ‘Kudade’ with Mc Gogo?
Did you see how Juliani turned up and we sang ‘Utawala’?
That song you call ‘Nikoo njaa siwezi karanga’?
Did you hear us sing ‘Tujiangalie’by Sauti Sol?
Have you seen King Kaka’s ‘ Wanataka Kutumaliza’?
Did you see how Mulamwah gave us Tea and Mandazi?
Have you seen all the comedians, Content creators and influencers?
I told you it will be Big Mama!

We matched forward Mama Slowly and peacefully Like you told me
We said we were peaceful
They rattled us with teargas and water canons Mama
We coughed, cried and chocked to the smoke but still matched on
We matched amidst the sting of that pink water they sprayed on us with those beastly vehicles
But nothing was more painful than hearing them pass that draconian punitive Bill Mama.
Remember how you used to forcefully give us porridge by locking us between your legs, pinching our noses then pouring a tone of porridge in our forcibly opened mouth?
Leaving us with two choices; swallowing or choking to death?
That’s what they did to us yesterday Mama
But unlike in the past, today’s child chose the latter; death!

We approached the parliament as promised.
We eventually occupied Parliament Mama
Albeit briefly.
The wall gave in and we entered.
I’m sorry I did not taste the rice
As some did Mama
All I tasted was the bullets Mama
They sprayed me with bullets Mama,
That’s why i won’t come home.
My battle is over Mama
But not the revolutionary war.

The IMF's advice to Pres. Ruto has DONE IT AGAIN.

As Harvard Prof. Robert Barro puts it, "THE IMF DOESN'T PUT OUT FIRES, IT STARTS THEM."

[Ziya! @ziyaafrica]

. @WilliamsRuto, these are the lives lost under your brutal regime. Peaceful protesters gunned down for demanding their rights. This blood is on your hands, and history will remember your tyranny.
How much more Kenyan blood will you spill? #RejectFinanceBill2024

[Theo @Theo_mwangi]

A tale of a country where citizens filled with optimism elected their representatives to government, but the representatives turned against them, leaving the citizens no choice other than to make themselves heard.
So proud of my country today🇰🇪

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

Try not to judge your parents' poverty too harshly because you made friends with kids from wealth. Don't reduce their sacrifices and commitment to the one thing they didn't have... money: when they gave you everything else. Parenting is not a straight path.

[MARI 🩰 @TheKaeAmari]

High maintenance but I’m the one maintaining it 🫶🏽

Think BIG bitch ..

[Janet Machuka @janetmachuka_]

Allow yourself to begin what you've been planning for days and years. No one starts out by being excellent - there'll be redoing some things, making mistakes, learning and mastering some. I wish you more breakthroughs in your life and may God guide you through the journey.

[JUMEX 🪶 @vmpchriis]

my whole life on dnd.. i only deal with who i want😭

[Chinx @justChinks]

A lot of us didn’t get career advice before applying to university. Talk to people; ask em how stressful their jobs are. Research job demand; this determines potential salary. Poor career planning has squeezed people in poverty, tighter than a nun’s vagina

[New Singaporean🇰🇪🏇🏿 @NewSingaporean_]

How do I convince my generation of peers that the whole craze of buying land as investment is mostly a bad idea.
