I am very pro-therapy. But my thing is that if Kenyan therapists do not contextualize their learnings to our context, afadhali tu ikae. Mtu anaishi in a country with totally broken social service systems, one medical bill away from abject poverty, ana ‘cut them off’ alafu?!

On a somehow related note @NonieMG remember our conversation on how when you are friends with rich kids, you are actively putitng yourself in danger because their sense of danger and consequence is very off? I feel the same about them leading and conversation on social change.

If you are between the age of 21-30 please take this very seriously. Its very hard to make friends after you leave the institutions and you won’t have friends in your 30s when you definitely need them if you don’t hold onto them in this period and holding on to them is hard!

In this story her husband bought the land and built the house her mother lives in. He also pays fees for some of her bro’s kids. To be in her life is to agree to be a witness which by the way has value in and of itself. But I don’t have it in me to give that.

The thing is that being in community with someone who is facing violent abuse can put us directly in harm's way. So many have died this way. At the same time leaving our loved ones alone with abusers is impossible. So many have died this way.

The MauMau movement was a radical liberation movement led by young people movement. e.g., MauMau luminary Dedan Kimathi was 29 when after five years in active politics in Kenya African Union, he gave up on the political system and took the Mau Mau oath; 36 when he died.

The MauMau were fighting for Kenya's independence. The republic of Kenya is 61 years old i.e., older than any of the current crop of Mt. Kenya politicians. The current crop of Mt. Kenya politicians are not the children of MauMau and they need to stop claiming to be.
