In my very last episode of my podcast, I want to thank you for tuning in and sharing my links. Until we meet again…
In this episode I question the existence of God, and what I am supposed to believe.
“Take a picture of me wearing this rugged jeans and a torn shirt, cause I look cute, almost like a homeless person!”
In this episode, I reflect on “Hitting Budapest” by Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo, a raw and brilliant short story that follows children from a slum called Paradise as they wander into the manicured streets of wealth and silence. It’s a journey driven by hunger, but beneath it lies something more a mirror held up to the world and its voyeurism.
I speak from the smoke and silence of starting over, of stepping into rooms I wasn’t sure I belonged in, and learning to breathe underwater when life threw me in the deep.
This is not just a story it’s a reckoning, a rising, a remembering. Let this be your invitation to walk through the flames with me.
In this episode, we reimagine Esteban as the hope, grief, and defiance of Kenya’s 2024 Finance Bill protests. He is a mysterious figure from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World”, book whose arrival in a small village even dead, changes the people who found him forever. I also honor the fallen heroes who marched for a better future, and explore what their sacrifices means for Kenya’s youth and tomorrow’s dreams.
