Chat. I’m tired. Recommend some high net worth individuals who can support GenderJobs.org to keep us running so I don’t have to work 2 jobs to keep it up and running. I love what we do but it’s getting to be very draining.

Yearly reminder for tourists coming to Kenya. Do not to get a black henna tattoo, you may be permanently scarred. Got one in 2020 and it’s been five years and it’s finally starting to barely show. This is after getting medical treatment (topical and oral steroids) within a week of getting it.

To think that I stopped crying when getting shots when I was 8 because of a national vaccination campaign. I was known to be brave and strong at school and I really could not take not being considered cool under pressure. I also realized then that I was actually more afraid of that than the pain.

In honor of the AVPA 2025 conference, I just want to say: Hello. My name is Nemo and I am a survivor of The Abraaj Group.

Listening to a Bible study podcast by some conservative women and one said that the one of the tests of how you parented your children is when they are adults and they get to choose the relationship they want with you (if any) and friendship with them is the ultimate reward.

Watching a show set in 2025 and someone hands someone else a cheque, especially over $10k USD, really takes me out of it. It would be faster to ask for bank details and copy paste them in but #fortheplot I guess…#blackrabbit

1/ Mirena removal and insertion (replacement) in a private hospital after 5 years. A world of difference.
In 2020, the cost was 30k KES. This included the consultation, the imaging, insertion and pain management.
In 2020, I had a callous gynae . She gets a healthcare worker COVID-19 pass though.

MPESA ate with the name verification before inputting the amount to be sent. I use it more for confirming unknown numbers calling me or checking if someone’s number is still the same before reaching out. Saved me so much time, having to watch Truecaller ads.

1/ I see terrible takes on murima folks being colonized so much that we suppress our emotions at funerals. I cannot speak for other mountain folk but mine used to leave the dying in the forest. We didn’t have burials.

The power vacuum left in ODM today explains why I was in court and the case before ours was a succession case from 2007.

I just spent 2 days in a procurement and logistics conference and boy, that sector is rife with sexual harassment. And they know it too because everyone assumed my wedding ring was because I did not want to be bothered. I was-the weird one for calling it out.

Anyone who has a lead for school sponsorship for South Sudanese refugees in Nairobi, please reach out. A plea from my 10-year old niece. Her schoolmate comes over to read her notes and see what the homework is even if she can’t go to school.

Why is death so unrelenting? I feel like ever since October 2023, I have been burying a family member every couple of months. On top of being aware of multiple genocides and war crimes the world is witnessing, I’ve never been more grateful for community.

Yesterday, a family friend spoke a blessing over me that I will be catapulted in to the highest echelons of my work and I would drive big cars and hold millions with people respecting me. He also said my grandmother will be healed and she will not orphan my auntie. She just died…so there’s that too.

I can’t watch hospital shows the same anymore. There’s no way to talk right after a tube is taken out of your throat. First your tongue is numb and you can’t even form words. It takes a least a day to wear off. Even then, your throat hurts so bad for a couple days and your jaw has limited movement.

In the long list of things of domestic violence triggers, a woman is beaten because of singing Gethia Mundu in church. Like it’s the lyrics to “tell someone you love them”. Perpetrators know exactly what they are doing and they’ll always have an excuse with a long line of apologists backing them.

How I got a 96% in my capstone paper in a Christian school. Well, that and reading the instructions. He said to pick one viewpoint and defend it. Folks tried to pick more than one. He dropped it off at my desk smiling and said thanks for following the instructions.

The longest bit I committed to was for 30 years. Everyone knew I didn’t know how to cook or clean even when I got married. Every once in a while a family member is confused when someone says they enjoy something I made or a homemaking tip. Saves me from doing domestic work while the men sit.

Free advice that I didn’t know until I moved back home to Kenya at 22. 1. Don’t go to a fundraiser without any money to give during the actual fundraiser. If you’ve given before and you are just coming for moral support, come even with a small token. Your presence indicates contribution.

After 4 years of living in Belgium I am just now realizing that I have not filled out a single healthcare form in all that time. It was all digitized. No insurance forms, intake, nada. Just showed up to my appointments with my ID card and the system did the rest. Dental, Gynae, vision, NOTHING.

My heart goes out to all the summer camp counselors who will hear KPop Demon Hunters songs over and over again for the talent shows. Bump that. Frankly, I wanna be you. There’s some great crowd participation parts.

If we leave this era without a book named The War on Art and the Art of War, it’s such a lost opportunity. I want to see the exploration of folks who read Sun Tzu and applied it to non-military contexts and ended up making enemies of art because it creates a freedom that they could not exploit.

I flew KQ internationally for the first time ever. Sure, my flights to and fro were delayed. Sure we didn’t have any internet onboard. Sure the screens were finicky and food was lower than sub-par. BUT they didn’t steal from my unlocked bags. A win is a win.
