Casualty of War…

The sky was a blameless blue, when a middle aged gentleman landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. A few years later, he will be back at the same airport, full of naked fear and uncertainty. But no one knows this yet. On the day that he landed, a staff…

Tamar.

Physician heal thyself then will thou also heal thy patient. But what if you are both the physician and the patient? Who do you heal first? I wasn’t ready to become an adult. Someone should have stopped me. Or at least paused the years. It was while I lay on…

Kicking It..

Tigist awoke abruptly, her sleep fractured by the pain in her bones. A pain so fierce it pried a groan out of her. In the darkness, John’s hand found hers locking their fingers together. “I am here. It’s ok,” he whispered as he got on his knees to prop her…

When Anisa walked into labor ward, she knew from the number of ambulances parked in the bay that it was going to be one of those nights. The kind where you felt like you were locked in a pressure cooker and could only let the steam out once the shift…

Faith not Fear..

Have you ever heard of a medical spa? Neither have I. Not until I walked into one; hidden in a cul de sac in Nairobi’s leafy suburbs. It’s unimposing with no signage leading to it or at its gate. Google maps can’t find it. That’s why I got lost. …

I believe I can fly…

Unlike most people, I don’t know when I was born. I suspect I am in my mid twenties though I feel like I have lived triple my age. Whatever that number may be. My life started out pretty bog standard. You should have seen us back then, my siblings and…

21 years ago I was caught up in a riot. Not as a perpetrator but as a pint sized teacher running for her life. I worked at Nairobi Technical College stuck in an existence I hadn’t envisioned for myself. I had wanted to become a musician but when I applied…
