  • INFORMATION MTAANI
    What is the key difference between access to information and access to the internet?
    Access to the internet does not guarantee access to the information, in fact, the opposite may be true; ungoverned access to the internet can easily lead to misinformation and disinformation. 
    This episode introduces the Crisis Communication Chapter Kenya team - a multistakeholder team that agreed to work together in spite of different opinions for the better of the communtiy.

  • TO BE CONTINUED...
    I last posted on my podcast on 23rd October 2021. A point at which I was self- backlash, self sabotage, self doubt etc.... I was beating myself up. I got into a podcasting incubator program, and it took me a really long time to accept where this was going - and that is all the way up
    At the start of my incubator program, I was battling this immense rush at 25, where I was constantly wondering where my life was heading to. I felt shy to share myself with the world because I felt under achieved. When I did share myself with the world, I left out what I wanted to say and only spoke of what people wanted to hear. 
    Here I am, six months later, sharing with the world a little bit of what I have created. 
    Enjoy this 30 second bonus episode / trailer.

  • Sn2, Ep2 HOP, STEP AND JUMP - Premature Rushing
    I love my sister. My sister is the queen of understanding the teenage assignment. Thankfully her moment of rebellion is now a moment of enlightenment during my birthday count down. Sometime we prematurely jump into situations because an *extender* is pushing is into that situation. However what anout being the extender of our lives?

  • SN2, EP1 : I BRING ME - AND MY PEANUT BUTTER

    Three things, dependence, interdependence and independence. There is a fine line between the three but somehow, when we find ourselves in relationships we often grey the line between the three because of over dependence.

    I took a memory lane down why my last relationship ended before it began. Honestly, it was because all I was bringing to the table was peanut butter. at that point I needed to re-evaluate who I was, who I wanted to be, what I wanted and how I could achieve it. Nothing worth mentioning included maintaining the status quo.. So what did I change?

  • BRIDGE - THE END OF THE ROAD

    The past

    The present

    The future

    Unless we know where we came from, we may easily get lost on our way home 


    This episode signifies the trial phase of my podcast where I was jumping from topic to topic without a clear understanding of what I wanted from my podcast. And a new journey awaits where I understand the impact I hope to have through my podcast. It is merely the end of an armature journey.

  • 1/ 22 - I NEED A MANUAL FOR ADULTING PT2

    On adulting manual part 1, we discussed what goes wrong in adulting. Adulting at times fails to play out how we expect especially in our career. A lot of people battle with the compare and contrast syndrome where their peers are concerned and at times this makes them lose focus of how they can tailor their own path to success

    For part two on I need a freaking manual for adulting, we discuss 'How' adulting can go right.

    I sent out a survey on how a people maneuvered and tried to create a simple manual for adulting for people who are trying find a bit of clarity as they define their paths in life. Here were the top five suggestions of what an adulting manual should include.

    1- Forge your own Path

    2- Build you own skills that come in handy when it is time to change direction

    3- If you define trusting the process as waiting for shit to fall on your plate, when you are sited, then there is no such thing as trusting the process.

    4- Remember where you come from but know when its time to quit

    5- What are those distractions that take most of your time?

  • 1/ 21 - I NEED A MANUAL FOR ADULTING
    Navigating the social structure and career path we hope for can be a hectic affair...
    This is me, at 24, without a stable job, without my dream car, without my dream house, and of course, with a funny digit bank account especially with my idealistic dreams of owning an empire by 25. Well at least the social zone is not so bad. Is it a bit aweful that I feel glad knowing I am not the only one?
    Anyway, I recently had a discussion with a lady I look up to and she told me, what helped her out was the fact that by the time she was joining campus she had it figured out. I took it upon me to ask one question; there are two types of people, one raised on generic principles, and another raised on specifics. Generic principles rarely get you anywhere because you never stand out, you are merely conforming to what is morally and ethically acceptable in the society.
    A user manual is a useful document that helps us identify and know the functionality of a specific item, but here is the catch, there is no one user manual that fits all appliances,. Every appliance is custom made to accommodate its own item and show you how best it functions. This is me letting you know why a user manual in adulting is important and how you can tailor your own user manual.

  • 1/ 20 - SELF INVALIDATION.

    Ever heard of a statement; Sometimes we kick ourselves off the stage too soon before the world hears us showcase what we've got? Or by any chance do you relate to the statement? Well, a friend of mine Bill and I had an interesting conversation about this girl he liked, but... oh well... but.

    Self invalidation at times causes us to reject ourselves, even when other people really believe in us. So we took a second to discuss self invalidation, how it affects us and how we can overcome it.

    Bill is a Film and TV Production student, podcaster, videographer sometimes a photographer (And not a Lawyer as I had earlier assumed). In his free time, he loves Eating, Listening to Music, Studying Films, Taking Pictures and Travelling.

  • 1/ 19 - OPERE SAYS 'NIKO SAWA'

    Music has a way of re-inventing our emotions, experiences and feelings. Nviiri the Storyteller ft Bien unleashed an emotionally provocative piece titled 'Niko Sawa' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHN_G3jdbdA) that had some of reminiscing on the good, the bad and the ugly in relationships. I experienced a deep sense of connection with the song because I felt it speaks to how we feel privately, and how we want to/need to respond to emotional turmoils.

    I had a conversation with Kelvin Opere on what the song reminded him of, and what he thought we need to pick from the song. Keytake away from his sentiments - 'Hii kitu si Injili, si lazima iende mbele' - Losely translated; It isnt a must to force feleings and relationships. Opere joins the category of small but dangerous people. He is a soft-spoken Lawyer whose maturity in reasoning meets his equally amazing mastery of delivery. While this was a short conversation, it proves there is a lot to pick from his brains.
