Great editing doesn’t change your story. It reveals its strength. One polish can shift a piece from ordinary to unforgettable.

• Every writer needs a second pair of eyes. Not to rewrite you, but to refine you. 📚

• Behind every powerful book is careful editing. Behind every confusing one is a skipped revision.

• Let your words shine the way you intended. A good edit brings clarity, confidence, and magic. ✨

• Your draft has potential and editing gives it wings.

She got the I am sorry series. He got it because it spoke to her soul.Individuals will always find themselves in these pages long before they admit it aloud.

She got the books because they spoke to the little girl inside her who learned early to hide her tears. She opened the first chapter and felt seen. She kept reading because the words whispered the same apologies she has heard for years. The I Am Sorry series she kept accepting because the shadows of her past had taught her that silence keeps the peace.

He got the books too. He did not say much. He never does. But he read them quietly at night because the world laughs when a man says he is hurting. People tell him to toughen up. To stop complaining. To carry it like a man. So he carries it. Alone. The book became the first place he did not feel mocked for the wounds he keeps hidden underneath his shirt and behind his smile.They got the books because they needed to hear a truth they were never allowed to say out loud.
Adults rarely talk about pain in their homes.
You fear people will say you failed or be judged. The hurt keeps happening.
Even in churches where the only advice given is prayer, while the bruises remain.
The fear remains.
The shame remains.
The shadows remain.Shadows of the Past is the book people read in secret before they gather the courage to speak.
It holds the stories that grown men and women swallow every day.
Stories buried in silence for years.
Stories of survivors who finally stepped into their own truth.
Stories that show you that you are not imagining the pain.
You are not dramatic.
You are not alone.

If you have ever asked yourself whether your silence is justified, or wondered if others are living through the same hidden storms, this book gives you a place to exhale.
A place to feel understood.
A place to begin healing.

Sharing joy at Kicheko Fest YMCA Central Branch
We laughed, we learned, and we leaned into healing.
From wellness through laughter, to honest conversations on GBV, to nurturing young talents through modelling . It was a beautiful reminder that wellness has many doors, and every voice matters. 💛✨

Give yourself a moment to breathe. There’s a quiet, steady strength inside you that you sometimes forget, a strength that has carried you through silent battles and the weight of days that felt heavier than you could explain. You’ve walked through shadows the world will never fully understand, held in tears no one saw, and kept moving even when something deep inside you was breaking.

You’ve rebuilt yourself more times than you admit. You’ve learned to rise from disappointment and fear, and somehow you still choose hope. You still choose softness. You still choose to believe that healing is possible. That choice alone makes you powerful. Not because you are perfect, not because you never fall, but because you continue to return to yourself with honesty and courage. This is the heart of Strong From Within, learning that true resilience isn’t loud or dramatic; it’s gentle, patient, and rooted in self-compassion. It’s discovering that strength grows in the quiet places, in the moments when you choose to pause instead of break, to breathe instead of fight, to feel instead of numb.

So give yourself grace. You are not behind; you are unfolding. You are not broken; you are becoming. Every small step you take toward healing is shaping a softer, stronger version of you. And someday soon, you’ll look back and realize that even the slowest moments of growth were guiding you home to yourself.

If this speaks to your heart, Strong From Within is available as a hardcopy at Nuria Bookstore and as an ebook on Xania or dm 0796037994

Synopsis of Our Wellness Talk & SMH Awards – Nov 2nd
Standing in that hall reminded me why positive reinforcement matters so much . when we affirm people, we don’t just celebrate their wins, we nourish their courage, their consistency, and their belief in who they can become.

From powerful stories to deep reflections on mental health, the day felt like a gentle reminder that healing is possible, growth is real, and hope is a muscle we can strengthen together.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared, listened, learned, and allowed themselves to feel. And to the award winners , your journeys are proof that kindness, resilience, and community truly make a difference.

Let’s keep showing up for one another.
Let’s keep choosing wellness.
Let’s keep reinforcing the good, loudly.
See you in the next one.

Day 2 | Makerere University

We explored how technology can transform care, access, and wellbeing across Africa.

One highlight was hearing from .victoria Mukami from the University of Embu, who shared her inspiring innovations in maternal healthcare and other areas. Her work reminds us that the future is not just about technology. It is about tech with purpose, tech with heart, and tech that heals.

The future is tech, yes, but it is also us the minds, hearts, and hands shaping it for good. 🌍💡

Unlike last year when we explored early-career research in Africa, this year’s gathering hosted by Makerere University was centered on The Future of AI. I had the privilege of speaking about the localization of AI in health care, with a special focus on mental health.

We often speak about embracing technology, but true progress means localizing it, adapting innovations to our own realities, cultures, and languages so they truly serve our people. AI can transform mental health care in Africa, but only if it understands our context, our expressions of distress, and our systems of healing.

Day 1 was truly inspiring. I had the honor of meeting Dr. Monica musenero, Uganda’s Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation. Her passion for mental well-being and inclusive innovation was remarkable, and she left with The Healing Workbook in her hands, a moment that felt both symbolic and deeply personal.

Here’s to an Africa that not only embraces the future but shapes it thoughtfully, intentionally, and with care. 🌍💡

Reflections from the Happiness Society Retreat at Kisimani, Isiolo

The weekend retreat with Happiness Society was a gentle reminder that happiness thrives in simplicity. It lives in shared laughter, morning reflections, and the warmth of being surrounded by people who care about growth and peace.

Here are a few lessons I carried home:
• Appreciate the little things. Happiness grows when we pause to notice beauty in the ordinary.
• Practice gratitude daily. Each moment, no matter how small, holds something to be thankful for.
• Cherish connection. True joy is found in community and in the kindness we share with others.
• Be present. Life feels lighter when we let go of what we can’t control and focus on the here and now.
• Choose peace. Happiness is a daily choice to nurture calm within ourselves and extend it to others.

My heartfelt appreciation to Happiness Society for creating a space that reminded us of the power of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness.

What are your tips to happiness?

We all get angry. Sometimes it’s the traffic, the noise, the unfair comment, or that one person who keeps testing your patience.
Anger is human. It’s a signal that something feels wrong or unsafe. But when we don’t manage it, it starts managing us.

Unexpressed anger turns inward and becomes sadness. Explosive anger turns outward and burns bridges.
Real strength is learning to pause before reacting, to breathe before speaking, and to choose peace even when you could choose war.Get your copy today at only 1500/= and begin your healing journey.

Last Saturday, we gathered at YMCA to celebrate Mazingira Day and it turned into more than just an environmental event.

As we cleaned, planted, and shared smiles, we realized how closely the health of our environment mirrors the health of our minds. A cluttered space often reflects a cluttered mind; a clean, green environment inspires calm, focus, and hope.

The conversations around mental health awareness reminded us that healing doesn’t always begin in therapy rooms , sometimes, it starts with stepping outside, breathing clean air, and reconnecting with nature.

Remember caring for the planet is caring for ourselves. 🌍💚
