When COVID-19 hit, I was in my third of year of college at The Technical University of Kenya, located right in the heart of Nairobi city. My younger brother, Dave, was also in his third year of high school, or third form as we call it, and suddenly, normalcy was on pause. Movement was restrictrd, …

The crazy reason I sometimes miss detention is the same reason I miss a lot of probably unpleasant things: fear of missing out. I know what you’re thinking—the point of detention is that you’re detained. You, in your teenage prime, after 7 hours of school, have to sit for another hour of school, but drained …

Masterminds are for people like me. Let’s see if they’re for you too. I’ve recently volunteered to help administrate Story Luck’s Slacker’s Mastermind and wanted to learn more about masterminds in general. I’ve discovered masterminds are powerful communities where people come together to share knowledge, challenge each other, and grow. They attract a wide range …

We’re all good with detention’s bad rap. It’s school after school, worse than school itself. Study hall for those who didn’t study in the first place, which is either the aptest or the least apt punishment, depending on your sense of irony. I’m starting up a book club with my super nerd friends, Daniel Andrew …

Let’s face it: The worst thing about book clubs is the books themselves. I mean, having to read? On top of everything else? Even as an avid reader, I have historically considered my engagement with book clubs more a matter of allegiance to the friends who roped me into them than to any desire (or …

I want to support you because I’ve been supported. You know, as I sit down to write this on January 2, 2025, my thoughts drift to the years between 2007 and 2012. Back then, initiatives like Kenya’s “Vision 2030” were all the buzz, and the year 2030 felt like a distant dream—a far-off marker of …

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 …

At my high school, we didn’t have detention, we had trash pick-up. You walked around at lunch with a plastic bucket and a claw grabber. The goal was to have us sheepishly collect litter in the bushes, banished from our peers, but the custom was to go up to groups of kids and hold out …
