    Samuel Kinyagia – Body Art and Creative Make-Up Artist

    June 8, 2021 /

    Art is timeless, endearing and uncontainable. It exists in forms that we get to appreciate every day. Today we talk to Samuel Kinyagia on body art and how this is a genre about to take over the modern forms of art. What inspired you to become a body and creative make-up artist? My art journey started when I was a kid, I used to draw and paint and even get in trouble cause I used the wrong book or wrong medium for it, then went to high school and found art as a subject there, at first I like it but I hated painting cause I didn’t get it then…

    Wahiu, aka My Fingers Just – Visual Artist

    Wahiu is one of the most confident people I met back when we were in theatre business. His story has however humbles me. Four suicide attempts later, he has learnt to not just be comfortable, but bold, audacious and unapologetic. He is a force to reckon with in visual art and I am so happy you get to met him. As a Kenyan creative, how would you describe your art? One it is visual, obviously. Also, I think it’s very Avant Gard and controversial, its definitely a neck turner, something that will make you like twice cause my fingers once again just ….

    Stories are the communal currencies for humanity. I’m happy to jump back into the interviews where I get to interact with Kenyans doing their part in engineering the future. Today, meet Mirikau a creative who expresses himself through photography and videography and is always willing to learn, unlearn and relearn. Do a lot of people ask you how Mirikau is pronounced? Haha! Coming to think about it not really, the problem is usually comes when people usually try write it down… What does Mirikau mean? Funny thing is … I really don’t know even though it is my actual name. I’d asked my folks but it, unfortunately, joins the ranks…

    Every now and then, we have a Damascus moment where realize we have been consuming unhealthy food. We need more whole meal, vitamins, less sodium, fewer fats and oils and a better diet.

    Breakfast dates in Nairobi

    April 14, 2021 /

    Breakfast dates are a life saver, especially when you are new to the dating scene. They give you the opportunity to see people in their element, fresh in the day, as opposed to going for drinks that may end up making the person incoherent after one two many as they try to get through the discomfort of meeting new. Breakfast dates reduce the pre-date anxiety. If anything there’s a time cap on it because you all need to get on with your day. Breakfast menus barely exceed two pages as opposed to dinner options, which will have you looking through pages with no clue what to pick. Restaurants have also…

Sex hasn’t always been a common topic for discus Sex hasn’t always been a common topic for discussion in my culture. You don’t wake up one morning and coax your seniors to ‘explain’ what to expect, you wait until marriage.

Ironically even through this book is about the sex lives of amazing and diverse African women my biggest lessons so far aren’t about sex. They are about womanhood, femininity, finding yourself and the full circle of being a woman.

I appreciate the author for the wholesomeness and incompleteness of these women’s stories. I recommend and even dare every woman to read it after least once in their lifetime.
