Primary School and Seating Assignment Mayhem.

Teachers who think they hold all the power learn the hard way I have a superpower. Conversations are often thought to be back-and-forth volleys.

I was jealous. My friend, Benta, told me, “My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I don’t want a gift. I just want you to save Kshs.200,000 for an international trip.” (That’s around $2,000). All the while, I had depleted all my savings and had about $20 to my name. Red cheek …

My First Experience at the Detention Book Club

Who in their right mind wakes up at 4 a.m. for a book club?  Well, apparently, I do—at least, I did this one time. Detention’s second session took place on Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST. But for me, living in a time zone nine hours ahead, that meant a  4:00 a.m. wake-up …

You’re One of 3 People Who Attend Masterminds Regularly.

Masterminds are for people like me. Let’s see if they’re for you too.

The First Book I Fell in Love With Will Probably Never Make It to Any Book Club

Photo by: Anna Shvets I have a little confession: the first book I fell head over heels for was a self-help book. Yep, you heard that right. And honestly, I doubt it’ll ever grace the reading list of any book club out there. (Though, with Detention, you never know!) The book is Attached by Amir …
