1. Audacity is attempting a practice run with a former Olympic Silver Medalist, even though I am VERY unfit 😪 2. Awe is holding her silver medal 🥈 3. Appreciation is having a conversation with the first man to ever run the 3000m steeplechase in under eight minutes. Two G.O.A.T.s, one backyard. Thank you to Priscah Jeptoo and Moses Kiptanui for sharing your stories with us as we spent time in Eldoret, reflecting on the ongoing #Olympics, and highlighting the growing crisis of #climatechange and how it impacts athletics, farming, and livelihoods. Thank you for reminding us why Kenya’s progress is worth fighting for 🇰🇪 More to come soon ✨ My outfit is from @lornah_sports
Someone once said, “A single powerful image can convey the reality of climate change in a way that transcends the limitations of language, data, and scientific reports. It speaks directly to the heart and soul.” A few weeks ago, we gathered with fellow climate justice advocates to immerse ourselves in the photo stories captured by women trained by @lensational. These images, part of the “Matriarchs of Climate Resilience” exhibition, beautifully document the lives of generational farmers and homemakers, highlighting their deep connection to the land. With climate change increasingly threatening food security and livelihoods, raising awareness is more critical than ever. We must continue to share these stories and take action to protect our future. A huge thank you to @lensational for championing the power of storytelling, women’s agency, and economic empowerment. Together, we can make a difference. 🌍✨ #climatejustice #advocacy #livelihood #economicempowerment #socialimpact
As we continue to navigate the many changes in our evolving country (which I’ll be weighing in on soon), here’s a little timeline cleanse. Thank you to @holidayinnnairobi for the wonderful partnership and for making my sons and I feel welcomed, even if it was just for a brief stay. I hope to return soon and maybe even cross paths with some of you as you connect with loved ones, little ones, or even if you’re enjoying a solo staycation 😉 #SoftJoys #HolidayInn #SelfCare #Motivation
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” – Robert Brault I’m learning that soft joys are essential for maintaining momentum and finding the right balance between stepping out and speaking up, while also taking time to decompress and replenish ourselves. As our country and world undergo transitions, and as we’re called to engage in civic education—which I believe is vital for all of us—let’s not forget to refresh ourselves along the way. Thank you @holidayinnnairobi for hosting my sons and me recently ✨ Highly recommend! #SoftJoys #SustainedMomentum #SelfCare #Sunday #bts #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua Make up by @mokeiraoyaro_makeup Classic knit sweater from @shopthisisessential

On Friday, July 26th, I delved into challenging topics like police brutality, death, and silenced dissent in the morning, and witnessed young people rising for social justice in the afternoon. It was a day of deep reflection, recognizing blind spots, and reigniting passions. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video from @citizenassemblyke’s second convening and @inuadada’s launch of an advocacy training with university students, part of the foundation’s push to amplify young voices of change. Please stay engaged with the ongoing conversations about the fight for change in Kenya and how to balance advocacy with daily life. There are few times as crucial as now to get involved and speak up. “In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” #bts #TheKenyaWeWant #InuaDadaVoices #Advocacy #YourVoiceMatters #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #SundayReflections
Sasa ona 😅 Me completely remixing the Anguka Nayo dance with some of the @inuadada team and community. I think we got it in the next take but…we’ll see 😃 Yesterday marked a milestone moment for the foundation 🙌🏾 Excited to breakdown our collaboration with a group of university students, as part of our second cohort for #GenerationEqualityForum 🙌🏾 Meanwhile…#angukanayo 💃🏾
I spent the morning with Mama Rex, mother of the first victim of extrajudicial killings during the #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests. Her pain and calls for justice highlight our collective demand for a better, safer Kenya. Listening to her was heartbreaking 💔 Tonight, say a prayer for the hundreds of lives lost and affected as a result of unlawful killings, abductions, injuries 🙏🏾 Afterward, I moderated a session titled “What Next? What Now?” where panelists Kasmuel McOure, Sefu Sani, Irene Otto, and Elizabeth Wanjeri emphasized the need for ongoing dialogue, civic education, and systemic accountability. Despite the challenges, the revolution’s heart gives us hope for making things right. Honored to have collaborated with @citizenassemblyke. Honored to show up for my country 🇰🇪 Follow the highlights and conversations from today, on their platform. #CitizenAssemblyKE #TheKenyaWeWant #KenyaNiHome
