Echoes of Valor: Why Mekatilili’s Story Refused to Let Me Go is a deeply personal meditation on history, silence, and the long road to writing my debut novel.
It traces my lifelong unease with what Kenyan history leaves out—especially the erasure of Mekatilili wa Menza, whose resistance predated Mau Mau yet remains marginalized.
Woven through this reflection are interruptions: illness, exile from writing, and years spent rebuilding discipline and faith in words. 🧠✍🏽
What ultimately emerges is not just a novel, but a reckoning—with memory, guilt, lineage, and the responsibility of storytelling.
This piece is about answering a story that insisted on being told—and beginning a journey to reclaim history without softening its cost.

The Lighthouse Brand: How to Lead With Integrity When Everyone Is Tired is a reflection on leadership in an age of collective fatigue. 🌫️🧠

Drawing on themes of restraint, consistency, and care, the piece argues that integrity is not just a moral stance but a strategic advantage. 🧭🌊
Lighthouse brands don’t chase attention or perform confidence; they stand steady, predictable, and human—especially in downturns.

Breaking the Algorithmic Trap is a reflective exploration of how modern platforms quietly shape not just what we publish—but how we think. 📈🧠
In chasing reach, speed, and novelty, many creators trade long-term authority for short-lived visibility.

Drawing from lived experience, neurodivergent perspectives, and systems thinking, it reframes thought leadership as stewardship—not performance.
If you’re tired of writing for algorithms and ready to write for people, memory, and the long arc of influence, this piece invites you to slow down—and endure.
