I have had an emotionally draining week and I was a bit confused as to why.....and then my period popped up. I feel like my anxiety gets worse just before my period. Let's unpack that this week. Also on #100AfricanStories Kitt from Kenya shares conversations she's had to have with her 5 & 2 year old and how to raise kids that know it's ok to cry and finding the balance of letting them talk back but not talk back - get it?

First things first I'm beginning to think my procrastination is directly linked to fear of failure/of the unknown! I speak about that in this episode! Also, I went on a road trip to record more African stories! I went to Meru - a county in Kenya. Specifically to Meru University! This week I share the first story from Meru Uni. A story by Damaris about the day she survived an elephant attack! Finally, your chance to feature on this podcast is here - details in the episode!

This episode took me a while to publish because I'm so nervous! It's been over 10years since I was on stage performing. Back then I would perform poetry. Fast forward to September, I was invited by The Moth to perform a story at their mainstage in New York! I performed a real story of the struggle I had of figuring out what to write on my late mum's tombstone! The Moth is coming to Nairobi on the 12th of November at 7pm - and I'm hosting! It would mean the world if my #LegallyClueless fam would come! For tickets: https://www.mookh.com/event/stories-of-women-and-girls-the-moth-in-nairobi

#LegallyClueless has been invited to an African country that I've always wanted to visit, this week, by the African Union and the United Nations!

On #100AfricanStories Maureen shares a story of the painful way she learnt that abuse isn't only physical and schools us on what GASLIGHTING really is! I have a feeling you will love this story!

From last minute VISA applications to using an app to manage my anxiety! I actually go indepth to how a thought journal helps...calm my anxiety.

I'm back to swimming! Something I loved but at one point stopped because of my scars and being super ashamed of them! Those babysteps to loving myself are really paying off!! On #100AfricanStories Kadzo shares about a time she thought she was in a relationship with a guy - even bought him curtains only to find out that....well just listen to the episode, the plot twist is crazy!

This week's episode has been recorded while I'm terribly frustrated. I missed my flight home from New York due to a connecting flight's delay and arrrrgh I just want to be home. Which is tied to #100AfricanStories. Steph from Kenya shares her journey of being made to feel like she's not African enough by other Africans. This is something quite a few people have told me when I approach them to feature them on here. Also when we witness xenophobic attacks - Africans turning on each other.This story will definitely get you thinking about your own home & identity.

I'm in New York this week performing at the Moth Mainstage Send me all your good vibes coz I'm shitting bricks! On #100AfricanStories Ian shares a genius but dramatic way he got a free ride on a matatu (public transport in Kenya) that includes ENO!

In this episode we talk about challenges and failures! I've always found that I never look at my failures as failures. Because of how I was brought up I automatically see them as either a lesson or I automatically try again. Not to say that they don't make me feel some type of way when they happen - but what I end up labeling them isn't failure in the traditional sense. on #100AfricanStories Nelly shares her story of leaving the village for Eldoret...then the states and finally coming back home to Kenya to head one of East Africa's premier cosmetic companies. #LegallyClueless

This week's episode focuses on grief - how it's changed us. On #100AfricanStories Sheila shares the trauma her and her dad endured while he was alive and the unfortunate way she found out he had died.
