• “I’m Gay & proud about it!” Ummm, So?

  Posted: November 3, 2011, 7:49 am by Joliea

  Why do gay people assert their sexuality as they do? Why is it that someone says they are ‘lesbian and are proud about it’? We see it in news pieces, hear it along the streets, and in social media. For those of us who really don’t give a rat’s ass (no pun intended) about who [...]

• The Odd Young Bus Preacher

  Posted: September 3, 2011, 1:21 am by Joliea

  I use City Hoppas on my route. And one thing that’s not a surprise on our route is bus preachers. For me, they’re annoying. Very very annoying! I mean, if I want to hear the word of God I will go to church, right? Why do these preachers assume that everyone on the bus is [...]

• Forego That Pizza, Just This Once

  Posted: July 30, 2011, 11:09 am by Joliea

  That’s what I told myself. The Horn of Africa, including Kenya, is going through the worst food crisis in recent times and it is up to us to support our own Kenyan people in suffering. Forget that people like Alfred Mutua have the audacity to claim none has died due to hunger. Lets swallow that [...]

• Bride Price = Slavery ‘Mamboleo’?

  Posted: June 23, 2011, 11:14 am by Joliea

  I pose the question today: Is Bride Price/Dowry a ‘cute’ ‘fomantic’ form of slavery mamboleo? I was listening to Jalang’o and Larry today on Kiss FM and they were discussing the topic. I was very surprised that within the period I was listening, which was about an hour, the time it takes me to prepare [...]

• Kenyans Arise!

  Posted: April 28, 2011, 9:42 am by Joliea

  I had a buzz of inspiration today when talking to my colleague. He was telling me that one of the reasons why he’s going to vote for Uhuru Kenyatta (YES! I said the name, now get me for hate-speech or whatever!) is because he feels he’s the most viable person to take this country far. [...]

• PPK Tuesdays: 1, 2, Step – There’s the Stereotype

  Posted: March 30, 2011, 6:29 pm by Joliea

  Your weekly dose of PPK Tuesdays, a day late though! *hides*! Okay, so maybe I was listening to Ciara’s 1, 2, Step when I started writing this. But truth is, stereotyping is so easy. As easy as 1, 2, 3… Especially when there’s facts to back it up. So anyway, I had a conversation with [...]

  Posted: March 15, 2011, 10:14 am by Joliea

  Written by Sheblossoms My friends always complain that I tell them about the horror of a bad Lupus episode after the fact rather than during.

  I am a Mongrel written by @Sheblossoms I realized last week that there is a statute of limitation on honesty, open-mindedness, tolerance, justice and human dignity. Those qualities that should be the definition of humanity, in Kenyan society they are only valid as long as they are relevant to the one calling them out. Well, to be fair it [...]

  Posted: October 12, 2010, 11:00 am by Joliea

  A strong sense of identity gives a person the idea she can do no wrong; too little accomplishes the same. A few months ago, Gabrielle Akinyi Wanjohi came to Nairobi.
