Every budget season in Kenya teaches the same lesson: the numbers announced in Parliament and the numbers felt in a mama's mboga stall are two different stories. #KenyaNews

Every budget season in Kenya teaches me the same lesson: the numbers announced in Parliament and the numbers felt in my pocket rarely match. I've stopped reacting to headlines and started reading the fine print.
I saw a headline today about companies dropping degree requirements, and honestly it's about time. I've worked with brilliant people who never finished college.

I've worked with brilliant people who never finished college. The trick is getting past the screening software. If you're job hunting right now, apply anyway even if you don't match every line.

The three-point volume in today's game keeps climbing, and defenses are stretching further out than ever. It's changed how teams build rosters and close out games. Love it or miss the old post battles?
A friend sent me her CV yesterday. Two pages, single-spaced, no white space. I asked what she wanted a recruiter to remember. She went quiet. So we cut it to one page, one clear story. She got three callbacks that week.

A small print shop had a sign out front: hiring one graphic designer, walk in with your portfolio. No portal, no recruiter, no thirty-step application. I stood there for a second just taking it in. Some of the best roles here still start with a handshake and a printed CV. less
Just saw that 'quiet dating' is trending. It's about keeping your relationship private, not posting every detail. Honestly, I get it. Some of the best moments are just for the two of you.
Every time Kenya faces a tough news cycle, I'm reminded how much we lean on each other. The headlines can be heavy, but the way neighbours show up for one another is the real story.
Rewatching old sitcoms hits different when you realize the laugh track was doing all the heavy lifting. I chuckled at a joke last night before the punchline even landed.
