The Catalyst Sparks

Bridgerton isn't worth watching anymore, there is a great HIV vaccine but SYKE! You live in Kenya so, good luck with healthcare. Apparently "we" borrowed "public" loans, drones will now be used as curfew breaking snitches and you didn't hear from us, but someone's building a city near you so drop your bitcoin and invest in Akoin!

So, the Suez Canal doesn't accommodate all shapes and sizes and climate change is affecting certain body parts too? Gotta add, "It's not me babe, it's climate change." to the pillow talk!

Eric Omondi's wife material is in tatters, the curfew extension could have been a text and sincere condolences to our Tanzanian brothers and sisters.

Mercy Randa left Tanzania abruptly as a student journalist who was deported for hard-hitting news commentary that didn't sit right with the political regime at the time. She moved to Kenya and worked on investigative pieces, a youth magazine and transitioned into financial news. As a woman in a team that only had three women, she was able to navigate this space and shift into public relations at Ogilvy serving financial clients. Currently, the CEO of her own investor relations firm, P&L Consulting and a Founder of a "Pandemic Business" that focuses on outdoor living and lifestyle, Mercy's journey is a testament to clarity on what you want and adaptability and flexibility on the journey to get there.

Sexualities is one of those subjects where you want to talk to people that have a sense of warmth and openness and this week we feature two amazing guests, Tyomi Morgan and Celine Manning who speak to spirituality and sexuality, experimenting with positions and sensual fitness.

"What I have found is that a lot of people are still on a different level, they are working to dig out their sexuality from repression, depression and oppression. It is a foreign concept to them and I am very happy to represent and speak to the spiritual side." - Tyomi Morgan

"Sensual fitness is about tapping into your sensual side, you can pole dance, I pole dance and you can do Kegels at any point to tone and feel good about yourself because you are doing something for you." -Celine Manning
