Sometimes I look at older photos of myself and miss that girl…..that wild spirit!

Not because she was younger.

Not because she looked different.

But because she seemed so free.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how many versions of ourselves we become as we move through life. The woman I am now is stronger, wiser, more grounded and more capable than she ever was. I know that.

But I also carry more. More uncertainty, pressure, responsibility…

For a long time, the fertility journey I’ve been on has taken up so much space in my heart, my body, my mind and my relationship. It has taught me a lot. It’s given me a lot too. But if I’m honest, sometimes it creates this feeling that I’m standing still.

I know that I am moving forward. It’s just hard to see it because the goal I’ve been working towards the hardest still feels so far away.

And I think that’s what gets me sometimes.

Because when the thing you want most feels out of reach, it can be easy to forget everything else.

When I really think about it, the evidence is everywhere.

The music I’ve released.

The communities I’ve helped build.

The friendships I’ve made.

The relationship Hannes and I have fought hard for.

The fact that at nearly 40, I’m still willing to bet on myself wholeheartedly.

I can see it when I look at it logically.

I just don’t always feel it.

I think a lot of women know this feeling.

We have bad news and then answer emails.

We cry in the car and then show up to work.

We go through things that completely knock the wind out of us and somehow still remember to buy groceries, call our friends back and ask everyone else how they’re doing.

Sometimes I think we’re carrying far more than anyone realizes or can see.

So I guess this is just a reminder to myself today.

Just because the thing I want most hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean my life is on hold.

And maybe that wild, free-spirited girl is still here.

She just looks a little different now. 📸

I’ve spent the last few days reading everything I can about this issue because the last thing I want to do is spread misinformation or fear.

And honestly, the more I read, the more questions I have.

Not because I think I know all the answers.

Because I don’t think we’re being given enough of them.

Why is there still so much secrecy around this agreement?

Why are the courts still waiting for more information?

Why are Kenyans being told not to worry instead of being shown the details?

Why do so many wananchi feel like their concerns are being dismissed rather than addressed?

The protests in Laikipia matter.

The thousands of Kenyans asking questions online matter.

Public trust matters.

And in a democracy, public consultation matters too.

I understand the argument that Kenya needs to be prepared for diseases like Ebola, especially when outbreaks are happening within our region. That’s a conversation worth having.

But then help us understand.

Show us the agreement.

Show us the safeguards.

Show us exactly what Kenya gains.

And if the goal is to help contain Ebola, why aren’t we having a bigger conversation about supporting the response at the source, in places like the DRC, where communities are already carrying the burden of this outbreak?

These are genuine questions.

Because this isn’t just about a facility.

It’s about public health, trust, tourism, livelihoods, and Kenya’s future.

The government’s role isn’t just to speak to Kenyans.

It’s to speak for Kenyans.

And right now, many people feel like they are not being heard.

What do you think?

Happy Madaraka Day, Kenya 🇰🇪

Today feels complicated.

As someone living far from home, with my whole family back in Kenya, I feel an enormous sense of pride for my country, our people, our resilience, our warmth, our spirit.

But if I’m honest, part of me is mourning too.

Between the stories of young women being killed, children going missing, and decisions being made by those in power that so many of us no longer trust, something feels different this year.

I love Kenya deeply. That’s exactly why I find it hard to celebrate without also acknowledging the pain, fear, and frustration that so many Kenyans are carrying right now.

I am frustrated, we as Kenyans deserve so much better than this. Young Kenyans with so much potential deserve so much more.
Today I feel both hope and heartbreak.

Happy Madaraka Day. May we continue fighting for the Kenya we know is possible. ❤️🖤💚

I’ve been thinking about this a lot today.

Maybe there are details I’m missing. Maybe there are benefits to Kenya that haven’t been clearly explained. If so, I’d genuinely like to hear them.

But as things stand, I can’t shake the feeling that Kenyans are once again being asked to trust that a decision being made at the highest levels is somehow in their best interest.

I completely understand why America would want to protect Americans. That’s the job of any government.

What I struggle with is whether our own government is showing that same level of urgency when it comes to protecting Kenyans.

If there are real benefits to Kenya, tell us what they are.

If there are protections in place, tell us what they are.

If this will genuinely strengthen our healthcare system, show us how.

Because too often, ordinary citizens are asked to carry the risk while being promised benefits that never seem to fully materialize.

And if many Kenyans aren’t simply taking the government’s word for it, it’s because we’ve been disappointed too many times before.

I know the High Court has stepped in for now, and I hope it stays that way. But if there’s one thing recent years have taught me, it’s that Kenyans cannot afford to switch off and assume everything will work itself out.

Conversations matter.

Public scrutiny matters.

Asking questions matters.

I don’t want Kenya to be anybody’s dumping ground.

I don’t want Kenyan lives to be treated as more expendable.

And I don’t think asking tough questions about decisions that affect millions of people should be controversial.

What am I missing?

As I get older, and the more women I surround myself with, the more I’m able to really see the weight put on women by society.

Me personally, I think the thing I resonate with most is feeling like I can’t be it all at once. And maybe a lot of those expectations I’m putting on myself too.

To be a career woman and an artist.
To stay authentic and true to myself by pursuing music, but also trying to make it financially successful so I feel like an equal partner to my husband.
To be a good homemaker, because that’s what I was taught growing up in an Indian-Kenyan household.
To want to become a mother, while also struggling with fertility and the fear of losing parts of myself in the process.
To hold onto my identity while it is constantly changing.

The older I get, the more I realise how many women are quietly carrying things like this every single day.

I just wish we had the audacity to speak about these things more often, so that maybe we could be better understood by society, by our partners, by each other, and by ourselves. Thoughts?
