Letter from the Other Side

To whom it may concern

It has taken me so long to write this letter but I think it’s about time. Probably because I have had enough time to think about it and found the right things to say. Maybe it is also because I am now on the other side and what I say or do will not make much of a difference. Either way, I chose to write this letter at this time.

For the longest time, I kept wondering, “How did I get here?” I mean, my life had just begun and I had so much to achieve.

Every Woman Deserves a 'Sponsor'

This might appear like the most irrational article I have ever written, but just hear me out for a moment. 

The number of ‘Sponsor relationships’ have been on the rise with scandal after scandal flooding our media. Focus has been put on condemning the vice but who has tried to analyse the situation and explain the trend?

Women depending on men is a normal phenomenon and nothing absurd at all. I mean, the man was created first and the woman was made to be his helper.

Sex Conversation Parents Should Be Ready For

Parenting comes with tasks and responsibilities. Parents telling each other anecdotes and seeking advice on the different stages and experiences they have had while their kids were teething, crawling, learning to walk and morning struggles on their first school day are very normal. 
 
In the African culture, parents seeking advice or sharing stories of how to talk or introduce sex conversation in the home is rare.  

Sex is not a very hot topic for family bonding time. Most children teach themselves, learn from their peers, or read about sex in magazines or on the internet.

My Life, Their Demands!

Today I want to throw a tantrum on behalf of myself and others who are tired of social demands and expectations constantly being thrown at their faces.
 
Every person’s life is a different script according to God’s purpose and will for our life. But  to most human beings we are all are expected to have the same script. Society expects you to go by its rules expectations and demands.  My plea to all of you out there is to Just let me fill out my script.  

Compare and contrast is one of the major causes of stress and depression in this modern world. Stress and depression are among the leading causes of suicidal deaths in Kenya and the world.

Children’s Rights and Safety in The Digital Age

When I think of children’s rights in the digital age, the thought leaves me in between violation of some rights while upholding others. There is a thin line between the safety of our children and exercising their rights.
The most commonly regarded definition of a child is anyone below the age of 18 years. Despite toddlers, infants and adolescents being different in terms of needs and understanding, they are all treated the same under the law.

18 years is deemed as the legal age in most countries where one gets a National Identification card and permission to purchase alcohol or even consent to sexual engagement.
