Why you need to do things afraid

As the first quarter of the year comes to an end and we break for the Easter Holidays, I reflect on what I’ve learnt this far. I started the year unsure of many things. Pen and paper in hand, I started writing - dreams, visions, milestones, structures. Mind fully engrossed, I got busy jotting down everything I wanted for this year to be. However, halfway into it, I stopped. I looked down at my notebook and gasped. A still voice inside me whispered, “Serah, are you sure?” I paused to think - I really wasn’t sure, but I continued to write anyway. After the writing, came the execution...

Types of Friends We Should All Have

Just last month (October 2023), I got opportunities to actually use the gift of voice to talk and share on my knowledge, views and perceptions in various industries.

Trusting through the seasons of life

I first tried modeling while in High School (Kenya High School). In my days, for one to vie for the coveted Miss BOMA title, your housemates had to vote for you to represent the house and compete at the finals. I remember losing at house level, and feeling so sad for even thinking I had a shot at it. Then I went to High School 2 (Anestar Girls Nakuru). Everyone used to look at me like something that had dropped out of heaven. People literally used to gasp when I passed by them. For some reason, they used to find me pretty, which did a lot for my...
