Let me tell you about Jane Mukami

In the book of Isaiah, we read these words:

“To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”.

This was God showing His mercy in healing the brokenhearted.

Jane Mukami has gone through a fair share of heartbreaks. Her marriage did not work for reasons she explains to me in the article. She would later file for bankruptcy after suffering of the worst betrayals anyone can go through. And the heartbreaks did not stop there……

You know what is inspiring, Jane has triumphed through it all…she is a phoenix, that rose from the ashes

Today, she is a successful entrepreneur and one of the highly respected Kenyans in America diaspora.

Nigerian music star Davido’s three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, passed away, having drowned on Monday, October 31, according to a Nigerian police spokesman.

Local police have taken in eight domestic workers for questioning in relation to the incident, which is said to have happened in the swimming pool at the home of the Afrobeats star and his fiancée, chef and influencer Chioma Rowland.

It was just last month, during a trip to London, that the couple officially announced their plans to marry next year. Davido, real name David Adedeji, and his partner were reportedly not at home when the incident happened.

According to police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin, police were called by the couple’s domestic staff at 10pm local time (9pm GMT).
“We are reviewing the CCTV cameras to get additional information about the circumstances of his death,” Mr Hundeyin said. “His body has been deposited in the morgue. We are in touch with his parents. In fact, they were with us last night.”

This is Linda Makeda. She lives in Dallas, Texas..

She recently told me how much she wanted to attend Law school to fulfill her dream of advocating rights of other people, or working as a general counsel in corporate America…

When she arrived in America from 🇰🇪, those dreams were shelved, partly because she was discouraged by some of people she met in the country of Honest Abe: “Oh your accent, oh here people do this or do that….”

Eventually, she took control of her own destiny by pursuing a career that is close to her heart… (read to see what she has been upto)

Linda is wary of the hustle culture in America. Everyone is busy, you know…and without mincing words she told me:

“I believe there are better ways to seek growth without losing yourself in all of the chaos….”

When Linda talks about her grandparents, she reminds me so much of my grandparents, a testament that at some level, there are things that make us equal.

Senegalese soccer star, Sadio Mane, makes around $10.2 million a year.

Fans were in disbelief when they saw him holding an iPhone 11 with a cracked screen. His reply was incredible:

“Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches and two jet planes? What would that do for the world? I starved, I worked in the fields, I played barefoot, and I didn’t go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools [and] a stadium; we provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.

In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me”.
