Kenyans have no luxury of keeping quiet matters, corruption, and bad governance. 49% of the population is poor, can't afford basic needs, that's around 25 million people, half the countries population. We're literally cooked.
This can't be life, hustling 63 hours , minimum wage, government stealing, can't access proper health care, infrastructure, education, nothing yet we keep working just for them to loot. We are literally modern slaves. It's not it.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
I'm a girls girl but women like caren are something else. I loathe these characters, pure evil those ones. Yet this are the lawmakers and have daughters of their own. To think I once supported her foolery. Hope the girl's parents sue.
