My dear brother, once you've called your WORK talent, you've accepted the petty negotiations. I kept saying this when we were being cheated that our children will get an arts education. Did you hear the KICD director say that if children in Tana River don't do well in coding, at least they have a talent to become DJs?
Teachers are now calling children in the arts pathway "academic dwarfs."
If Kenyan artists don't stand up for our children, the next generation of artists will be treated worse.

Kuita uwizi “Ujanja” is what is the problem. Even corrupt people don’t see corruption as corruption, it’s just a deal ama ujanja. Parliament is full of people with behaviors like ours.
Digital creator Boina says she shut down her waxing parlour in Nairobi CBD after her staff started stealing from her. They were instructing clients to send payments to their personal numbers instead of the business account, and that’s how she was recording losses every month.
Why are Kenyans like this? Why can’t we just be trustworthy? We love blaming politicians, yet we are worse…..

I lived in Burundi for a year and a half from 2007 to 2008, and I gotta say, I still have no idea how y’all are able to tell the difference between Kenyans and Burundians. You guys are looking at Kenyans and Burundians and seeing two different things?

Today, a Rwandan trader in Mwiki was robbed of his bucket of mandazi, two thermos flasks of black coffee, and the money he had made selling to honest people.
The thieves were chang’aa addicts who thought they had found an easy target.
Unfortunately for them, they found the wrong neighbourhood.
I responded immediately from Maji Mazuri. One robber left the encounter with fewer teeth than he arrived with; another went home with a head injury. Meanwhile, we raised KSh 3,500 for our fellow African trader to help him get back on his feet.
Let me be very clear: we are not going to stand by while criminals prey on hardworking Africans trying to survive.
A man wakes up, makes mandazi and coffee, carries his little business on his back and comes to Kenya to earn an honest living. The least we can give him is security and dignity.
To the mugukaa, miraa, & chang’aa gang: mandazi is not your inheritance, coffee is not your birthright, and Mwiki is not a free-for-all buffet.
We are Africans before we are anything else.
We welcome our brothers and sisters from across this continent, and we will defend their right to work peacefully.
Kenya must never become another South Africa where fellow Africans are attacked simply because they crossed a border looking for a better life.
We can be tough on criminals without becoming cruel to foreigners.
Leave hardworking traders alone.
Let them hustle.
Let them eat.
Let them go home safely.
