A New Chapter





My photogenic self
Hey there!! Thank you for clicking onto this page. I hope we can keep this visits a bit more regular. I have been trying to embark on this journey of writing for a while now. Now onto the biz let me start of by saying when you hit twenty five otherwise known as twenty fine things start to make more sense. You start realizing thirty is just around the corner and you need to hasten some things  be more intentional. You start thinking maybe it's time I start doing those things that I have been putting off. You commence reconnecting with people who you once had relationships with. Such as some old friendships that once meant a lot to you. You start realizing holding a grudge over someone you care about is not important. Your mind really starts to shift and you eventually start becoming more patient.

At twenty five you start  realizing everyone is going through something. You might look at somebody else's life and think it's perfect but let me tell you until you are in their lives 24/7 that's when you will have a better understanding. At twenty five you learn to be a better friend. You learn to listen more and empathize with your friends. You learn to sit in silence and be okay with it. Lastly you learn to find solutions to things and not amplify things in other words you stop reacting rather you start responding.


On the way to Kalbarri
I thoroughly enjoy writing and I always feel at peace when I write. The pieces of writing I do are not perfect but surely how can I reach perfection without even trying? Therefore, I make a pledge of allegiance to myself to be consistent. To be more intentional with my reading, writing and learning French. Because if you look deep down these things bring me  absolute joy.

Inspiring Youths Making a Mark

 I am greatly inspired by a lot of people in our community who have taken that daunting step or rather leap of faith. People such as:

Betty Karambu
1.) Betty Karambu - despite being unable to go to university due to lack of school fees. She has been able to care for and still care's for young children through running marathons and raising funds from friends. She has been able to support them through buying them uniforms and mentoring them as a whole

2. ) Wawira Njiru - Wawira started a small organisation called food4education and through that she ventured into a restaurant called double portion. As mentioned Wawira started off small but right now she's able to provide more food to several schools thus increasing the amount of students who attend school.

3.) Francis Otieno Amonde - He started an organization called cup of uji. This initiative has led him to provide uji for children in schools

- The 3 individuals i have mentioned above have made a mark in the community. They have helped  communities that are marginalised and through their initiatives they have been are still able to impact a tremendous number of individuals.
- I take this up as a challenge to challenge myself to do greater good to my neighbour or to basically improve my own community. Otherwise we can't have hopes and dwell on donors or organisations to come in and change our lives.
