In the business world, most businesses will happily receive money from their customers without much of an incline into the background of who the person they are doing business with is. But if there is an industry that will seek to ‘dress you down’ before accepting your money, it is the banking industry. Having worked […]
Have you ever been around those children who can’t seem to take no for an answer? Who grab all the toys and goodies from other children around them, saying hurtful things to everyone around? If a serious whooping is not meted on the child (forgive my African upbringing: timeouts were only observed in the movies), […]
On Tuesday the 9th of August 2022, Kenya heads to the polls. As uneasy as it is for me to admit this, I must say that I have always been one of those people who would vote while ignorant of the real details behind a candidate’s manifesto. This year however, I took the time to […]
Those who have known me for much longer know my sense of fashion is somewhat horrifying; more of a weakness to me.

I recently encountered a brilliant friend and former colleague of mine who is known for being very good at her job. Leave anything in her hands and you will be sure that it will be done to perfection. Over coffee, she shared her frustrations that a lot of us, including me can easily relate to. […]
Abraham is credited as being the father of faith. He left his home and family behind at the age of 75 to follow a call from God into a strange land, where he waited another 25 years before he got his son Isaac. And when his son was of age, God called on him yet […]
Social media in Kenya is very fascinating. We have brilliant minds when it comes to our social astuteness. If you do not believe me, ask Nigerians about Kenyans on Twitter a.k.a KOT.
