APPRECIATE THAT WOMAN

Whenever I think about women, I think about what I have been able to learn, go and grow through. To stare at my reflection in the mirror and clap for myself with pride.

This is what I envision other women going through. Being content about their journey, their potential and position they hold in their households and the community.


She knows she has to take care of herself, aid in fetching for her family, support her loved one and nurture her kids. This is not a responsibility to her as a woman, it is her joy and she owns it with happiness. I see you and I appreciate you woman.

A year ago the cooking club that I was part of, decided to fund raise for good causes that abound in Kenya. We received applications from around ten to fifteen charitable organizations and we chose Amref Health Africa In Kenya.  https://amref.org/kenya/ We fund raised via an auction and by cooking delectable food and sold tickets for this exclusive event which was held at Capital Club, Nairobi.                                 Chefs For The Evening!

Girls  deserve the right to basic needs. The right to gradually be the directors of our lives as we keep maturing in every phase of life. She deserves the right to education, and experiencing a fun teenage life. This is not the case for this 13-year-old, whose life path has been altered by another human being. Transactional sex in exchange for a sanitary pad. This girl, at 13 is now forced to deal with pregnancy load, a misfortune that was unforeseen. At this age as a minor, her lack of commodity, forcing her to make uninformed choice should not have happened. Yet this is a case of a perpetuator, taking advantage of her vulnerability. She is now forced to deal with the burden of being a teenage mother. This can turn into a lifetime of traumatizing experience. This is inhumane. Our minor girls are suffering in the hands of such. Stop this cruelty today! Support without asking for sex as a trade in.

PLASTICS AND LANDFILLS

  If we expect thriving results from the spaces we occupy and the surroundings that we do not occupy-then, taking action is the first step to nourishing these environments. Information is highly accessible; awareness has been vibrant. The lingering question is, why are we not acting now? It should occur to us that, in its microscopic phases-the face of the earth is slowly deteriorating. Our egotistical human activities have been benefiting us at the expense of compromising mother nature as it suffers from| our negligence. Informal waste disposal and management of tonnes of single-use plastic products has been and is hazardous to our environment. Its production still tops the manufacturing industry charts, yet its disposal is still wanting. Landfills are a source of income for many, but poorly managed landfills are now homes that cultivate land and air pollution. Human health is in jeopardy as toxic chemicals from plastics emit into the air we breathe. This needs to be examined and cont
