It’s A Freedom In Admitting It’s Not Gonna Get Better,
Washing Your Hands Of People You’ve Known Forever,
I’d Be A Liar If Eye Feign Surprise,
A Goat Eats Where It’s Tethered.

The conversation we should be having is why the majority of the "best" public secondary schools in Kenya were built by colonialists and why there hasn't been an effort to create better schools across the country as even in the year 2026 it's still the same schools being coveted?!
"Dictators and people in office and people who want to control and deceive know exactly the people who will disturb their plans...
And those people are artists."

Before the world had maps,
there was Kenya.
Before language,
there was rhythm.
Before time had a name,
there were footsteps across this red earth.
This is not just a place.
It’s a pulse.
It’s the exhale of the wild.
The whisper of ancestors in the wind.
The drumbeat in your chest you thought was yours alone.
Come here and unlearn
Trade your inbox for a horizon.
Trade reception bars for baobab trees.
Come walk barefoot through the origin of everything
life, flavour, fire, soul.
Because Kenya is not a destination.
It’s the birthplace of awe.
The homeland of wonder.
The reset the modern world forgot it needed.
You don’t visit Kenya.
You remember it.
You return to it.
You wake up in it.
This is Magical Kenya. The Origin of Wonder.
Welcome back.
