Conversations with Generation Y

Revellers at the beach party

In July 2011, Synovate, now Ipsos -Synovate, released an amazing research with insights into Generation Y which by and large was ignored. Shame we don’t give it as much hype as we do numbers on the political race. Generation Y will be here when all these loud mouths have come and gone. The only reason I went looking for some research is because there seems to be very little effort made to understand this lot and a lot of judgment an...

In our daughters' eyes

Mothers

The week my daughter came home, the amazing no nonsense women in my life (I know no other kind) made sure I was settled, supported and celebrated. There were text messages to find out how we were. Clothes, toys and even a crib were provided so I wouldn’t waste money and save for the really important things. My calls in those first few months were answered in the first two rings, because instinctively they knew I had a question and they h...

In our attempts as media and other like-minded Kenyan to reclaim this nation from the hands of the politicians and their drinking buddies, one thing and one thing alone leaves me weary and worried. We are yet to accept that the problem is not them – it’s you and I.The politicians figured out how numb-brained we were years ago. In stunned surprise, they stood at a distance for a minute to see if indeed we were as fickle as we seemed...

Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.

I really wanted to have a go at the politics of assassination plots, dropping KANU and Musalia’s search for a new party; then I realised it isn’t worth the ink. No-one would dare kill Raila – even his enemies pray for his continued good health. The idea of an assassinated Raila is not good for anyone. Uhuru and Musalia are probably headed to the same party by the end of next week and Kalonzo is still wondering WTF as he shake...

Veronika decides to die

Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything she could wish for: Youth and beauty, plenty of attractive boyfriends, a fulfilling job, and a loving family. Yet something is lacking in her life. Inside her is a void so deep that nothing could possibly ever fill it. So, on the morning of November 11, 1997, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up.Naturally, Veronika is stunned when she do...

I don’t consider myself a journalist, far, far from it. I write because it’s something I habitually I do.
I keep a diary and a journal and I have for a very long time.
Writing is something I do for life for sanity for peace of mind.
I write to begin a conversation, alittle controversy always helps that along.
I write myself out of my nightmares and into my dreams- it’s why I keep a journal.
I write to soothe the voices shouting inside me and the anger and despair I feel
when I see the things going on around us.
I write because I believe in words –I write because I cannot sing???.?
