We never chose where to be born......someone once said that.You call in gettoh or mabanda but I call it home.I was born and raised in the city slums of mathere Nairobi  Kenya,The fourth  largest getthoh we have In Africa.i simply talk about  my life here because  unlike the type of mindset people  might  have by the mention  of  gettoh I see it differently its a home.Gettohs are well known for bad stuff and many people have always been profiled by this.From violence, robbery, rape,poor housing, street kids,poor living conditions, lack water,poor medical facilities, teen sex and pregnancy, drugs and of course the drama. But have you ever wondered and to check  the good side of this place how even with those worse situation good things can evolve and biggest talents have come up from this area from politician,biggest musician great footballers,best journalist amongst others have come up against all odds. Here we are taught to survive, we are ta...

      I was once told every new baby comes in the world with their own plate. More like every child is born with its own blessing and life plan according to the religion. Every day someone dies and everyday someone is born,it'd called a life cycle some people go to give a space for new once. DO you know  everyday a child is aborted?But make no mistake abortion is included in as one of healthcare and every abortion story is valid.There is no" Bad"  reasons to get an abortion.Every day   women across  the country make their own choices about their  pregnancies for reasons that are deeply personal.politics and religion has no place in these choices  everyone story deserves respect. Here in Kenya abortion is a crime unlike the  countries from two west.As much as its a sin and illegal when it unsafe the constitution has given mesures and valid reasons as to when this process can be conducted.unsafe abortion can lead to death or the loss ...

Campus life sounds amazing,right?A place away from home and the better part of it is the freedom that comes with it,a switch from being the baby at home to now living and making life desions on your own,her is where most of us bloomed and got into love relationships as they say every choice has a consequences and we don't chose who love but we can control how they act or sometimes chose to ignore or meib jion them.At this stage of life we have all have a national  id and we are considered as citizen any choise wrong choice that contemplate the law you will face  the wrath as they say in my hood  'wewe ni mali ya serikali'   Kate was just 19 as she joined KMTC Nairobi partaking her bachelors in nursing. It was a dream come true and having passed her kcse and meeting the cluster points she had tings alined at her hand a future planned and  being the daughter of the village midwife the fruit didn't fall far from the tree,The city was a new place to her she only had...

  some one once said  fear is inbuilt and for the record  it is.We all have lost so many life time opportunities   because  we were afraid  of taking  that step,that good job because  we were scared of sending  our Cv simply  because  we felt we ain't good enough  for that job,that good person we have lost simply because  we were scared of hurting  them.We all have this episodes and it's proven that atleast  every human has gone through  this episodes so it's not new. Fear is not phobia. There are three  types of fears. -Rational fear-this occurs when there is real imminent threat Primal fear-an innate fear that is programme in our brains Irrational fear-one that doesn't make logical scences and can vary from one person  to the other  Fear is sometimes considered the opposite of courage however  this is so incorrect fear is a condition that makes the experience of courage possible.
