Looking back a couple of decades ago, courtship was almost a three-step process; you notice the person, court the person or be courted, then talk about marriage. Times have definitely changed. There are various avenues and ways people can meet and fall in love. Technology has brought about platforms that bring potential suitors right to […]
I felt like I was ready. We had been dating for a couple of months. It had been going well. We really enjoyed each other’s company. As you know dating in these Nairobi streets is hard. When you meet a guy who finally is not as trash as most of the other guys, it is […]

The thing about the past is, it does not always stay there. Things have a way of showing their ugly face no matter how much you may want to move on. ‘Honey, are you okay,’ my husband asks me,’ you look like you have seen a ghost.’ ‘Oh… I’m good, ‘I answer back almost in a […]

Adawnage’s Safari album ranks as one of my all-time favourite albums to date. Songs like Uwezo, Naomba and Safari are still people’s favourites eight years after the album came out. In 2015, the band released their second album, Maisha, which had songs such as Tulizo and I Live for You. The 13-track Maisha album was […]

As if trying to convince your partner that you loved them was not hard enough, now you have to convince their family that you are what is best for them. For some, that is an easy fit. They walk into their in-law’s lives and everything works out as perfectly as it can be. For others, […]
I received a Facebook friend request the other day. Just like always, I tapped the ACCEPT button without looking at who I was accepting as a friend into my online life. Minutes later, “Thanks for the add”. I ignored that. It was a lazy Thursday, and I was listening to old school music. Then P […]
