The real test of a marriage is not whether conflict happens, but what happens next.

Conflict is inevitable. What matters is whether couples can pause, take responsibility, reconnect, and protect the relationship from lasting damage.

The Gottman approach shows that healthy marriages are strengthened through friendship, trust, emotional safety, repair, and the small ways couples continue turning towards each other.

Marriage is not defined by never hurting each other. It is defined by what we learn to do with the hurt.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak with the Rotary Club of Nairobi North on Nurturing the Mind, Body, and Connection.

Mental health is not just about responding to crises. It is about creating spaces where people feel safe to be honest, supported, and understood.

Thank you for the warm welcome, the thoughtful conversations, and this generous recognition. I receive it with gratitude, and as a reminder that there is still much work to do.

May we all continue to care for one another, because healthy communities begin with healthy people.

Marriage is not just two people coming together. It is also two histories meeting.

We bring what we learned about love, trust, conflict, safety, and closeness from the homes we grew up in.

Sometimes we also bring pain, fear, silence, and patterns we have never fully understood.

Many struggles in marriage do not begin in marriage itself. They begin much earlier.

When we understand what shaped us, we are better able to choose what to carry forward and what to change.

This July, we're talking about marriage.

Whether you're married, preparing for marriage, or simply interested in understanding relationships better, we hope these conversations encourage honest reflection and meaningful growth.

What is one part of your relationship that deserves more attention than it's been getting lately?

As the month closes, we are reminded of two things: that life will question every man, and that what is to give light must often endure burning.

Viktor E. Frankl’s life stands as a reminder that strength is not always loud, and courage is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is found in a man’s refusal to let suffering empty him of dignity, meaning, or purpose.

As Men’s Mental Health Month comes to an end, may we remember that many men are carrying more than they say, fighting harder than they show, and needing more than the world often gives them.

The month may be ending, but the call remains the same: to raise, support, and honour men in ways that help them become whole.

You can learn a lot about a society by looking at what it throws away.

NACADA's latest wastewater analysis wasn't just a report about drugs. It was an early warning about how substance use in Kenya is changing.

New synthetic drugs. Prescription medicine misuse. Multiple substances being used together.

These aren't just law enforcement issues. They're public health and mental health issues.

👉 Swipe through to understand what the report found, why it matters, and what it could mean for Kenya.

Men matter in children’s lives, but presence alone is not enough.

What shapes a child is not simply having a man around, but having a man who is emotionally available, consistent, safe, and engaged.

A loving male figure can help a child grow. An absent, harsh, or disconnected one can also leave wounds.

That is why men’s mental health matters too. If a man is carrying shame, pain, or emotional shutdown, it becomes harder for him to show up well for his children.

Children do not just need men present. They need men present in the right way.

Men aren't struggling because they won't talk.

Many are struggling because silence works. You push through. You figure it out. You don't make it anyone else's problem.

And somewhere along the way, that becomes the only way you know how to be.

Until one day, there's no one left who knows how you actually are.

A football match can tell you a lot about how people really feel. This one was not just about South Africa vs Mexico - it became a public reaction. For many people across Africa, the game tapped into bigger feelings about xenophobia, belonging, and humanity.

Swipe through for what happened, why the reaction was so strong, what this moment says about identity, memory, and solidarity, and our take on all of it.
