Congratulations to Emily Korir on receiving the🎖️of the Order of 🇦🇺 (OAM)! Her dedication to people with disabilities & multicultural communities in South 🇦🇺 is inspiring, as is her current focus on building the first accessible respite home in 🇰🇪 for children with disabilities.
For the entire November 2020, I was admitted to solitary existence at Aga Khan University Hospital because of COVID-19. I knew I may not survive but I refused my thoughts thinking about dying! It was the worst experience. And after being discharged after a month, Long Covid affected my nerves & I couldn’t write or walk properly for over four months. When I resumed work in May 2021, i made up my mind that thence henceforth, my staff and myself will work from 8am to 2pm, Monday-Friday forever! We are the only business in Kenya if not the whole world that stops work at 2pm. My solitary stay in AKUH allowed me to reflect on life, vanity of riches, love of family, loyalty of few BFFs & duplicity of many others!
When you see me breaking bread or taking wine every afternoon, be rest assured, I have done my work for the day!
It was also then that I decided I will never hunger for material possessions or money or love.
Our lives are written in the stars. What is ours will always be.
No doubt, Ruto Must Go.
However, Ruto is a product of a flawed system that has moulded many scoundrels.
We must think beyond Ruto's exit. In 2027, You may elect someone worse than Ruto.
The vote is no tool for vengeance, it is a sacred license to efficient leaders.
Happy Easter.
Men,
— even if the mother of your children doesn't cooperate,
Or, she blocked you from accessing the children,
Don't be dramatic.
Remain stoic and responsible.
Continue depositing monthly remittances in their account. They will need it in the future.

This is the biggest physical breakthrough in history:
Nike spent MILLIONS to create the perfect conditions for the impossible run.
But it wasn't in a real race...
Here is how Eliud Kipchoge cheated to break the 2 hour marathon barrier: 🧵
As I grow old, I have learned not to celebrate the loss of anyone pursuing a lawful cause however much I disagree with them, or congratulate the gains of evil people irrespective of how close they are to me. I want to live fully and die empty.
This is my dad.
He was shot twice fighting for democracy in his home country, Nicaragua.
He lost his brother in battle.
His calloused hands remind me of the manual labor he worked to make sure I could focus on school.
He transports elderly patients to their doctors' appointments.
He is a warrior.
You kept us strong, dad.
