Dear future me

I know it's been a few years since I did this, and the world has changed a lot since then. But I wanted to take a moment to remind you of a few things that I believe are still important.

Remember that you are strong. You've faced challenges before, and you will face them again. But you have the resilience to overcome whatever comes your way.

Cherish the good times. Life is full of ups and downs, but it's important to appreciate the good moments. Take time to enjoy the little things, and don't let the challenges of the day overshadow the beauty of life.

Never give up on your dreams. No matter how difficult things get, keep striving for what you want. You may not always achieve your goals, but the journey is just as important as the destination.

Surround yourself with positive people who love and support you. Life is too short to spend time with people who bring you down.

Take care of yourself. Your physical and mental health are important. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. And don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

Finally, remember that you are loved. You have people who care about you and want to see you succeed. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not good enough. You are capable of great things.

I know you'll face challenges in the years to come, but I also know that you'll overcome them. You are strong, resilient, and capable of anything you set your mind to.

With love.

Policy vs. Practice

In the realm of governance, the journey from policy formulation to tangible outcomes is often fraught with challenges. While well-crafted policies set the stage for progress, their successful implementation remains a persistent hurdle. This disconnect between policy and practice is not merely a bureaucratic inconvenience; it has profound implications for societal advancement. The Anatomy of the Implementation Gap The " implementation gap " refers to the disparity between the objectives outlined in policy documents and the realities observed on the ground. Several factors contribute to this divide: Resource Constraints : Ambitious policies frequently falter due to inadequate funding, limited human resources, or insufficient infrastructure. Without the necessary support, even the most well-intentioned initiatives struggle to take off. Political Dynamics : The political landscape can significantly influence policy execution. Shifts in leadership, competing interests, and lack of...

Sustainability is more than a product or a promise—it’s a commitment to long-term change.

Sustainability has become a buzzword, woven into almost every industry, product, and campaign. From bamboo toothbrushes to electric vehicles , every innovation claims to be saving the planet. It’s tempting to believe that each eco-friendly purchase is a step toward reversing climate change. But behind the glossy marketing and green labels lies a crucial question, are these innovations truly impactful, or are we simply falling for well-packaged hype? Take biodegradable packaging , for instance. The concept sounds revolutionary. Packaging that breaks down naturally instead of clogging landfills. However, the reality is far more complex. Most biodegradable materials require industrial composting facilities to decompose properly. Without these, they end up in the same landfills as regular plastic, where they may sit for decades, barely degrading. For many countries, including Kenya , the infrastructure to support such systems is limited. So, while the packaging feels like a responsible ...

Dear Jahzara, My Little Star,

As I sit down to write this, you’re busy running around the house, chasing after your auntie with one sock on and the other mysteriously missing. Typical Jahzara energy, chaotic, unstoppable, and absolutely adorable. Today, you turn three. Three! How did we get here so fast? You’ve brought so much light into our lives, baby girl. From the moment you arrived, it’s been a whirlwind of laughter, surprises, and the occasional “Jahzara, climb down!” And let’s not even talk about the number of times I’ve found you trying to eat a spoonful of sugar for the hundredth time. Let me tell you, being your mama has been a full-time adventure. You’ve already perfected the art of charm. When you flash those big, innocent eyes and say, “ Mama , si you give me just one sweet,” somehow I’m handing you three without even realizing it. You’re a pro negotiator. I’m convinced you’ll be leading peace talks one day, between nations, not just who gets the last chapati in this house. At two, you’ve shown ...
