Honoured to be featured in today's Daily Nation among exceptional Oxbridge students. I talk about the challenges of adapting into a new academic environment. Grateful for the opportunity to share my story and inspire others to aim high.

When a guy you don't like makes a point you like, and you give him credit and respect for that even though you still don't like him - that's when you know you're being intellectually honest with yourself. Don't let personal disdain get in the way of intellectual appreciation.

I was interviewed by Daily Nation for today’s lead stories (Page 2), discussing how a Trump presidency could reshape Africa’s global alignments and Kenya’s role in the Haiti mission. Check out the full discussion on Page 2.

When someone does something that angers you, take a moment (hours even if needed) to zoom out of the situation and relate the offending action to the greater context of who they are and what they've done for you, as well as evaluating their intentions for engaging in the

Anyway, we need to democratise how we choose candidates for the AUC Chair position (and even other REC positions like EALA reps). These elite manenos and calculations must no longer be the main factor in such an election.

Listening to Kenyan experts on NTV on this #AUCChairElections, and they're better than the ones analysing on KTN a few days ago. But Kenyans still largely see these positions from a national-image perspective rather than what candidates are likely to contribute to the Continent.

Academia is irony. Our careers are made studying say Fanon, Biko, or Wangari. The whole field of post colonialism and decolonize this or that rests on the backs of their pain, persecution, and death. Yet, we largely remain silent as our student and colleagues are under threat.
