The whirlwind rarely diminishes in my life… : ). This trip is different for me in many ways:. Bam, here I am! 3 I have many goals. Administrati...

It was a striking moment for me this evening at dinner. We were watching a program called “Hatua,” a talk show of sorts addressing current issues in Kenya. Tonight’s program was focused on the question, “What makes us Kenyan? Why are nepotism and tribalism before patriotism and humanism? Stick with me here…. That we look upon no one.
