Kenyan curating a space of joy here
(was really proud to be a Kenyan girlie on Saturday - and emotional to be with the thousands on site protesting against femicide, and those there in spirit...yet in the words of Abigail Arunga - 'how can it be that we are marching to not be murdered. Seriously!')

On my way to work yesterday, a field of Agapanthus demanded to be photographed and sent to you @keguro.bsky.social

I am just the messenger.

For you dear friend.

We at The LAM Sisterhood are back with another Sister Salon: These events serve as moments of grace and gratitude amidst difficulties.

A space to breathe.

The 4th Sister Salon is our way to honour the late *Field Marshal Mūthoni wa Kìrìma*, a freedom fighter, a woman, our cūcū.

For our Wau Eats mafans here

We’ve been figuring out how to manage the ever-increasing costs of everything

We want to make sure it isn’t more expensive for you to enjoy your Wau Eats, so rather than increasing prices, we’ll reduce the number of pieces in a pack

Here is our revised menu

I'm still taking in the fantastic conversations from last week's Macondo Literary Festival - the writing, the conversations, the vibes, the BRILLIANCE! the laughter, the fashion...I feel nourished, energised, inspired & grateful.

All day I have searched for words

Field Marshall Muthoni wa Kirima, Cucu, WeaverBird, brilliant strategist, ferocious warrior, Maito, community builder, gentle soul

You made us

Words are not enough

May you transition with ease, may you be free & received with joy

Shukraan

Mwalimu Micere Mugo's poem "Where are those songs" was in some ways the genesis of The LAM Sisterhood. Her words have been foundational to our existence. It is an honour to celebrate her.

Karibuni this Saturday
