Over the weekend I was invited to be part of an incredibly powerful talk-session around rape culture with a group of truly intelligent and honest ladies. Our host was Adelle Onyango (pictured with me here). She is not just a renowned Radio Presenter or among the BBC 100 women, she sparks conversations that many are...
In a world that begs you to follow the crowd, lose yourself, please your friends and everyone else around you, silence your voice and dim your light, choose you. Love YOU! I didn’t get here overnight and it’s still a slow and steady journey. I’ve had to lose friends to gain new ones, learn intolerance...
Some of you have asked me to highlight some of the places and sights that stood out for me on my New York trip! I went into a bit of detail in my last post but here’s a snapshot. Oh and I should mention, it’s smelly…very smelly, and musty, but that didn’t take away from...
I’m not writing about New York because of the infamous ‘abroad is better’ mentality. While there’s tons of reasons why countries that are ahead in development are great, the global village conversations continue to show us that many of these countries face startling issues as well. So here I am documenting my 3 day stay...
I’ve blogged about this before, about my struggles with my breastfeeding journey. The first two days of agony, post-birth, when I would latch Huru and he suckled away relentlessly but not a drop of milk came out. By day 3, I was frustrated and in tears. My husband tried asking if there was medication to...

That’s as ambitious but it’s also doable, I truly believe. Because over the...
Only YOU can march into your future with the security and willpower that is needed to take you to the next level. Only YOU can navigate the murky waters of life and come out the other side happier and healthier. Only YOU are responsible for the matters of your heart and how you want to...
For a trip that’s been two years in the making, Borana Lodge, part of the Borana Conservancy, did not disappoint. It seems that our having a baby and conflicting schedules between my husband Eddie and I meant it took us this long to work out the perfect time to make a getaway and boy were...
If you’re a woman reading this, you know how hard it can be to love yourself. We’re often talking ourselves down, over-thinking our achievements, apologizing for mistakes what we may or may not have made. But do we take enough time to love who we are? Or who we have the potential to be? Try something different....
Most days I’m chipper; optimistic, zen, hopeful. But there are days when, after I’ve given Little Huru his milk feed, I can’t get any shut eye after that. I lay awake, calmed only by the sounds of breathing in the house. I’m not down, just thoughtful. It’s dark and quiet, but whereas darkness once frightened...
