2023 is a Wrap๐ŸŽ‰

 

You know what, Inspiration, dedication and zeal is what I bring to the table...and when the table requires me to deliver.... I go ALL OUT MAN! Because why not? ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰.

 So, yes, as this year draws to a close, I find myself profoundly grateful for the remarkable journey it has been. ๐Ÿ™Œ 

I've had the privilege of delving into spaces dedicated to promoting mental health wellness, working alongside inspiring organizations, and collaborating with exceptional individuals who are passionately driving the message of mental health advocacy. 

From online initiatives and programs to shaping guidance and counseling programs in schools & partnering with NGOs on impactful initiatives, the collective effort towards fostering mental health awareness has been truly empowering. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ๐Ÿ’š

I'm immensely thankful for the networks I've had the honor of building—connections that share the same zeal and intentionality in making a positive impact on mental health. ๐Ÿค

Here's to the transformative power of collaboration, advocacy, and the unwavering commitment to a healthier, more supportive world. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’™ Grateful for the lessons, the growth, and the collective dedication to spreading the message of mental health wellness.

Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season and an even more impactful year ahead! ๐ŸŽ‰✨ #Gratitude #MentalHealthAdvocacy #ReflectingOn2023 #Collaboration #NewBeginnings

When I become a Dad!

He says that growing up, he had a rather salty relationship with his dad. His dad was the typical African dad. Those fathers who expected everyone to be on their best behavior when they returned home When he spoke, you obeyed. You'd never say anything back. You were never allowed to hold an opinion, and in case you did, you kept it to yourself. Not like in our days, where we have the audacity to scream, "I hate you!" and run to your room and slam doors. He paid fees, and you went to school. He said you'd study medicine, and you said "Yes, dad!" only to discover, during one of your attachment periods, that you hate what you do and end up hating the people you do it with, and the only thing you want to do is stand in front of crowds with a guitar in your hands and a crowd shouting in your direction. We are seated in this spot, under some shade, on a sunny afternoon, the kind of afternoon that makes you think, ‘What if the sun had moved an inch closer to eart...

On “Utaleta Mtu Lini?” and Other Attacks on My Peace!

  Wait. Guys!  I think I’m officially qualified to say, “niko pahali pa hatari.” Because wait… what? Is this what comes with being 26? You people never warned me that once you hit this age, relatives stop asking how you’re doing and start asking about your marital status like it’s a government project. Suddenly, everyone is invested. Everyone is concerned. Everyone has suggestions. You can be building a career, healing, figuring yourself out, learning how to be a decent human being, but none of that seems to matter if there’s no wedding loading. Apparently, kumbe 2 6 comes with a wedding countdown. You never really start a sentence with “so” unless you are in a crisis. So… today I am in one. A very big one.  The other day my mother casually joked about wanting a grandchild.  I laughed. Not because it was funny, but because my brain needed time to process the plot twist. This is the same woman who, just the other day (okay, maybe a few years ago), used to iss...

26: Old Enough to Know Better, Young Enough to Try Anyway

Wow… 26 already. Time really does fly! Turning 26 feels like standing on the edge of something electric, a place where lessons from the past meet the endless possibilities of the future. It’s that sweet spot where reflection meets ambition, and gratitude meets curiosity. Honestly, it’s a big person’s age, there are things you can’t just do anymore, and yet, there’s so much you can. They say, at 26, you start to know yourself in ways you never did before. You see your strengths, your quirks, and the sparks that make you come alive. You’ve stumbled, you’ve celebrated, and you’ve realized that life isn’t just about reaching a destination, but how you move through the journey. And yes, just like Mike says, the mistakes… they start to cost more. The lessons are harder, the risks weigh heavier, and the stakes feel higher. But here’s the thing: each “expensive mistake” teaches you something you wouldn’t learn any other way. They sharpen your judgment, stretch your patience, and remind you tha...
