A Train Trip To Nanyuki
I have never had any interest in taking road trips or travelling to other counties. We moved around a lot when I was younger, so what I craved the most was to place my two number 7 feet firmly on the ground, develop long roots like the mugumo tree and settle in one place. Plus, I went for sports competitions that allowed me to visit a lot of places. So, when my friend suggested that we take a…

The Struggle Is A Bit Too Real
Like an overfilled lake that threatened to burst its banks, the words fought to come out through my fingers. Words that I’d thought I’d forgotten, sentences that had faded in my mind were now piecing and stringing themselves together magically as if controlled by unseen fairies onto the keyboard on my phone. And just like that my passion for writing came back. It’s been exactly 2 years and 6…

I'm Not Racist; I Have A White Friend
For a country that felt the need to stroke up its fragile ego by taking over other people’s land and killing or subjugating its inhabitants, it’s a shocker to see so many of them with crooked teeth, mismatched outfits and unravelled hair. I understand that much of my interaction with these snow-white creatures is from TV shows like Fleabag and music videos, but the perceived theme is always the…

We Like What We Like
My man is not my man. No, not in the old school way that women have men/boyfriends. It’s not like he didn’t write his way into my heart with long paragraphs, or make countless daytime and late night calls that could make a cockatiel’s cheek redder, or randomly get me thoughtful gifts. He did. But, he never asked me to be his girlfriend. It sort of just happened. Like in the way my friend’s aunt…

Brands That I Love
What brands do you associate with?
I am not one to be a walking logo, and I think it’s tacky to mix and match different designer houses. Ah yes, I think it’s fitting that I talk about fashion brands considering that I am a clothes merchant (check out my store Sahla Harie Luxurious Designs on Instagram and Facebook). So, as I was saying if circumstances were to magically occur and force me to be…

3 Things I Could Do More
What could you do more of?
1. Write
As if I have been practicing for the world typing championships for the last 2 months with these daily prompts. But, yeah I could write more. I’d given myself three months to write everyday to make up for the three years that I was gone. Yesterday marked two months of my labour, and I felt like answering the prompts has made me lazy, because I will always…

Keep The Faith, It Always Gets Better
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
On one side of my bedroom, I’ve hung my bags from the nails protruding from the wall. Most of them are sling bags and handbags, and then there’s the big backpack that holds all my academic transcripts and certificates. In between those is a letter that my dad wrote to me 10 years ago when I was about to take the secondary school national…

Adventure and Dance
What things give you energy?
Last Saturday I cycled 40kms in a campaign that aims to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies in Kajiado county. It didn’t matter that the last time I rode a bike was 5 years ago or that I developed what is known as ‘handlebar/cyclist’s palsy’ on my right hand. I cycled the 20 km to and fro on a rough and rocky terrain. When I was done I could barely walk and the…

Midnight Train by Sauti Sol
What’s your all-time favorite album?
Three years ago I wrote a post about my favourite Kenyan artists and Sauti Sol was among the top 3. At around that time they released one of their best albums that has hit classics like Suzanna, Insecure, Sober and Nenda Lote. I believe the pandemic did a lot for them because the album is nothing short of genius.

Human Rights & Freedoms
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?
We’re living in very funny times. I use funny lightly. Pronouns only used to matter in grammar and vocabulary, cross-dressing was a form of comedy and genders were a biology fact set in stone so much that you’d know the difference between a girl’s toilet from a boy’s through the architecture. A lot is going on now that I am left wondering…

Dull and Grey
What would your life be like without music?
I remember the first time I heard a song that wrenched my heart and filled my eyes with tears. And, I remember the second time. And every time I always wondered if I would ever find a song that would make me feel like the last one did. I always found one. Music is more than just art. It’s magic. That courses through notes and instruments taking you to…

Simple and Easy
How do you celebrate holidays?
I don’t know what happens between the years of childhood and teenagehood, but one day you wake up on Christmas morning and realise that it’s become just like any other day. There are no special meals, no new clothes and no visitors. And then you adjust until you wake up one day in your twenties and realise that you don’t like how you’ve belittled these special days…

The Cooked Syrup
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.
I don’t know why I thought it’d be so easy. I mean how hard can it be to boil water, mix it sugar and wait till it turns to a smooth coffee colour? It can’t be harder than breathing. I do that even when I am sleeping. So I put in two cups of water in a pot, a half cup of sugar and turned the heat up so that it would boil quickly. You see, I…

It's Never That Serious
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
I know I am not the only one that rehashes their conversations and actions at the end of a long day. Especially if you’re introverted. You always feel like you should have done or said things differently. Everytime. And these thoughts would make me toss and turn in bed depriving me of my beauty sleep. I was haunted by feelings of regret…

My Top 5 Favourite Foods
What are your favorite types of foods?
I’m a foodie. Like I mentioned last time, I burst right around that puberty period. Obviously due to the immense body changes that I was going through, I needed a lot of food fuel. So fueling I did, and I pumped that body from the age of 14-17 years. Some of the foods I ate at that time gradually became my favourites. They include pancakes, bananas,…

Thick To Skinny
How often do you walk or run?
During my teenage years, puberty came at me at lightning speed, and went through me like a high-speed rail train. My hips grew wider, my bust fuller and at some point I got crowned the title Nicki Minaj cause my butt did the ting. And, I loved it! I was so scrawny as a child so blossoming into this beautiful flower at the peak of Kim K and J-Lo’s big butt era was…
