Weaving is still treated like something only elders do, or a fallback skill.
Meanwhile these baskets and pieces sell for serious money internationally, while many of the people who make them are underpaid at home.
Most of us are chasing government jobs or white-collar roles, yet the continent still needs the blue-collar work that actually builds things: furniture, baskets, lighting, everyday objects.
These crafts are not the opposite of progress. They are part of the base that creates the conditions for other jobs.
We have to start by valuing and improving the skills already here.
If you make this kind of work (weaving, carving, furniture, or other crafts), send me a DM with photos. I’ll be sharing pieces this week.

The world teaches us to chase more: more status, more applause, more proof.
Yet some of the richest lives are lived quietly, with purposeful work, loved ones nearby and values honored.
A simple life is not a small life.
SHARE this with someone who understands that real wealth is found within.
My upcoming book, The Robot and The Gardener, will be available worldwide in February. You can pre-order it now at the link in bio.

Trusted Partnerships, Safer Digital Futures
Two insightful conversations on the margins of the Trust Summit brought together questions central to our digital future. The first, with High Commissioner Makoloo, explored Kenya–UK collaboration on AI, trusted allies and sovereignty: how we deepen cooperation while strengthening our capabilities and retaining agency over the technologies shaping our societies.
The second focused on safety by design and the Child Online Safety Coalition, alongside two amazing teenage friends from Mtoto News who always keep me on my toes! Their sharp, confident questions on online safety challenged us to be clear about our responsibilities and how children can help shape the decisions affecting their lives.
The future is indeed bright. This is the generation we have been waiting for: informed, courageous and ready to hold us accountable. Our responsibility is to listen, involve them and turn these conversations into safer digital experiences.

Without truth, there is no foundation. You don’t know where you are, what you’re relating with, or whether you’re dealing with reality, fiction, imagination, or manipulation.
Powerful reflections from Dr. Vincent Ogutu, Vice Chancellor of Strathmore University. Truth grounds us, and only by facing it can we begin to build lasting trust across our institutions, leadership, and communities.

Creative talent can generate wealth, but the right structures must exist for that wealth to reach the people creating the work.
At the #ASPSummit2026 in Nairobi, renowned Nigerian filmmaker and theatre producer @BolanleAusten-Peters brought this into focus

Dr Jakkie Cilliers is often described as “an African Futurist” who has authored a couple of thought-provoking books including this latest one - Africa’s Road To Prosperity: 10 Things To Know.
He looks at main factors that will shape Africa’s economic and political future. I like the introductory sentence “This is not a feel-good book.” Haha.
I’ll be sitting down for a conversation with Dr Cilliers at an event organised by @issafrica and @HSF_Kenya this evening.
