I love women who decided their life was going to be beautiful and then just went and made it that way.

Africa does not need intellectuals who simply translate Western thinking into African languages.
We need scholars who begin with African experiences, challenge inherited assumptions, and produce ideas capable of changing the material conditions of our people.

In any room where you are giving a presentation, remember: you are the expert on your work. You know your preparation, your reasoning, and your argument better than anyone else in the room. Own that!
Check out my recent publication on African trade & AGOA

As a Third World country, we can’t keep skipping industrialization and jumping straight into digitalization. We cannot be talking about owning our own AI when we don’t have the electricity day to day activities less to talk about a data center

Europe has thousands of 25- to 28-year-olds doing PhDs.
Meanwhile, a friend of mine in Kenya told me that a review panel asked him why he thought he deserved a PhD at his “young” age of 42.
Self-sabotage.

This fake Alcohol thing has a big impact of our regional trade blocks that the government needs to wake up to. Our neighbors could and legitimately do ban our exports to their markets for public health and deceptive trade under article 6 of the Customs Union Protocol.
Thank you, Ambassador for having us.
Today was very insightful and very thought provoking.
A Productive Conversation with the Next Generation of African Policy Researchers in Canada
Today, I had a productive conversation with two doctoral students at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law: Christiana Essie Sagay, whose research focuses on International Law and labour mobility, and Faith Chelangat, whose work examines international trade, particularly the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and AGOA.
Their research aligns closely with Africa’s economic transformation and Kenya’s priorities in labour mobility, skills development, trade and investment.
I was encouraged by their commitment to connecting rigorous scholarship with practical policy challenges. Such engagements strengthen the link between academia, policy and diplomacy while nurturing the next generation of African scholars and policy thinkers.
I look forward to continued engagement and to seeing how their work contributes to informed policymaking and stronger Kenya–Canada and Africa–Canada relations. 🇰🇪🇨🇦
