My take home from the banter between Kenyans and South Africans is that our educational system is trash and it’s evident from the way we tweet. It’s just banter but you can tell Kenyans are highly intelligent and way ahead of us intellectually.

What does it mean to tell the Kenyan story today? 🇰🇪📚

Greek children grow up hearing about Zeus.
Viking children hear about Thor.
Meanwhile some Kenyan kids are growing up thinking Spider-Man is their only mythology.That cannot stand.
I recently wrote Mũmbi and the Full Nine, retelling the Agĩkũyũ creation story for young readers.

Our people didn’t wait for IWD. They celebrated women daily.
At the beginning stood Mũmbi-the first matriarch.
From her came the Full Nine.
Today I celebrate them all—our mothers past, present.That is why I wrote 'Mumbi and the Full Nine.'Women deserve more far more than day.

THE FULL NINE
In Agĩkũyũ thought, ten becomes full nine. A code for completeness. A quiet refusal to tempt fate.
Mũmbi and the Full Nine is my small act of telling our stories on our own terms.

We were taught about European queens.
Rarely about our own founding mothers.
Why?
Mũmbi is coming.

February is Black History Month
Its a time to ask questions, tell the stories, teach the children, and reflect on how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go as Black people .
When we tell our own stories, we reclaim a kind of paradise.

I received this case early Tuesday and, after making several calls, I am pleased that the matter was resolved in record time. The learner has now been formally admitted to Lenana School. I commend the parent for their determination and advocacy.
This case, however, exposes a serious systemic gap in how our institutions prepare for learners with disabilities. Section 20 of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025 is clear: no learner shall be excluded from education on the basis of disability.
Inclusive education cannot depend on public outcry or the personal intervention of a few individuals. It requires deliberate planning, adequate resources, trained personnel, clear placement guidelines, and decisive policy action. That is how democracies should function.
I commend the parents for their courage, the NCPWD team, the media for amplifying the issue, and everyone who stood in solidarity. This outcome reflects the power of collective accountability.

ALT This screenshot features an education news article from The Standard titled "Reprieve as needy learners finally admitted after ordeal," published on January 14, 2026, by journalist Mike Kihaki. The piece, which includes social media sharing options and the outlet's "Since 1902" branding, reports on the successful admission of disadvantaged students whose educational journey had been stalled by significant challenges. A photograph of the iconic blue and red arched gate of the Starehe Girls' Centre serves as the primary visual.
