Quietly Here

Real Kenyan stories, told quietly. Read in silence. Speak without judgment.

The Strong One Isn't Always Strong — Everyone called him strong. Nobody asked if he was okay.
The War That Wasn't About the Ugali — We fought about everything — and nothing.
Two Families, One Table — I loved him. His family did not worship like mine. My mother did not approve. And yet, we found a table.
Sijui Nini Kinaniuma — Nilikuwa na maisha ambayo kwa nje yalikuwa sawa. Lakini ndani yangu kulikuwa na ukimya mzito.

Kipato Changu Kinatoweka Wapi? — Mshahara wangu ulikuwa ukitoweka kila mwezi. Sikuwa najua wapi. Mpaka nilipoamua kuandika.
