I would like to address corporate leadership in the modern world, business has become very global, and we can no longer operate in silos, as a country or continent. Leadership is a word that is thrown around in corporate and to most professionals all it means is a title of your position. All that leadership...

Nairobi Nights: The Spiritual Role Of A Prostitute
A female teacher in the mixed boarding school that I attended used to compare us girls to a tin of cocoa; you remember the one which had a foil inside. “The first time you let a man touch your breasts or private parts, then you have opened the lid. The moment you lose your virginity,...
Stranger Things 2.
Stranger Things 2 was finally bestowed upon us by the Netflix gods, and boy was it a treat (or trick). I’m going to keep this review simple, I’ll just talk about things I loved and maybe things I didn’t enjoy but when all is said and done I freaking loved this season. Let me start...
Till Death Do Us Part
Two life-changing things have happened to me in the last four months (my current joblessness not counted). One, the untimely death of a friend, and the second, the liberating realisation that I am a romantic just like the next girl. You see, I have been married for two years but have not had a wedding....
Be. Honest. To. Yourself. First.
I need to make a statement, that’ll help you and your craft. Because really, I’m disappointed and feel that we are failing our journey to excellence. A friend of mine sent me a message on Facebook asking me when I’m changing my profile picture…Honestly, I don’t like taking pics. As I went through my profile...
Nairobi Nights: Of Boredom and A Funeral
I have been in my kind business for almost three years now, during which I have slept with over a thousand different men. That figure is small as compared to some of you, men and women, who do it for pleasure, ego and money. Let’s not go to the money bit, but do take some...
Unplugged.
Hi. Do you do that thing where you fall asleep with your phone in your hand? Do you drive with your phone on your lap, or do you sometimes feel an overwhelming urge to stop on the side of road to share an interesting moment that just happened? Do you prefer staying home and cuddling...
Nairobi Nights: Why Do You Sleep With Me?
There are two questions I always want to ask my clients. However, most of the times I don’t get to because if I did, I’d cross a delicate line in the client girl relationship; that of minding my own business. I have no right, moral or otherwise, to go poking my nose in the private...
Prepare For Greatness
I remember when I got the WhatsApp massage from Gugu asking if I would be available to speak in New York in June 2017. I said “yes”… this is June 2016 when I got the call so I am thinking I have an entire year to prepare. I tell my business partner at the time...
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
When I was growing up my mother, who was single at the time, made it her obligation to find a soul mate and a father figure for her beloved son. Being a snazzy “with it” kind of woman she had a premeditated recipe for “Mr Right”. The guy would have to have a decent job...
