Bishop Charles Ong’injo spoke with courage and clarity: every five years, we have the right and duty to vote with our eyes, ears, and minds open; not like robots or directed crowds.

We commend the Bishop for boldly guiding the youth and the nation. Faith leaders have a vital role in shaping responsible political engagement; teaching young people to reject blind loyalty and choose wisely.

This is faith and justice in action. Real faith demands integrity, accountability, and wise choices at the ballot.

Let’s rise above manipulation and vote with conviction.

We are excited to announce our next book!!!

We will be studying "The Cross and the Lynching Tree" by James H. Cone

“The cross and the lynching tree interpret each other. Both were public spectacles, shameful events, instruments of punishment reserved for the most despised people in society.”

A powerful book exploring suffering, faith, hope, and the meaning of the cross in light of America’s painful history.

This book is especially important for Kenyans because we too have painful histories of suffering, injustice, colonial violence, and ethnic conflict. It helps us deeply reflect on how the cross of Christ speaks to our own stories of pain, resilience, faith, and hope in Kenya.

In community, we will sit with the stories of God that we tell ourselves that allow us, our socio political systems and our theologies to be violent, oppressive and unjust while at the same time proclaiming that we belong to a God of love, justice, and peace.

📅 Starting date: To be communicated soon

On Saturday, we gathered, played games, shared food, and had deep conversations around the true meaning of protest.

We had deep reflections inspired by the book Home? by

We often wait until something affects us to care.
But real justice begins when we choose to stand even when it doesn’t.

To be aware, to speak, to act; this is protest.
A daily decision to choose life in a world that often resists it.

Protest isn’t only what happens in the streets; it’s a way of being.
It’s choosing truth when it’s uncomfortable, justice when it’s inconvenient, and love when it costs you something.

If it doesn’t affect us, it should still concern us. Because one day, it will.
So we stand; not just for ourselves, but for each other.

Until our next gathering, keep choosing to stand.

With support from and we have embarked on a 12 week
Empowered Voices Journey.

The introductory session was a beautiful meeting of minds and souls that are seeking to be in community with women who are pursuing a gender just world while integrating their faith in this pursuit.

Have you ever read about Zelophehad’s daughters in the Bible? (Numbers 27:1-7)

Our first session was eye opening for all of us.
Some of us were reading and hearing this powerful story for the very first time; five brave sisters who boldly spoke up, challenged the status quo, found favour with both God and Moses, and received a positive response that changed inheritance laws forever.
From bravery and boldness, to God vindicating women and caring about justice… the discussions were deep, honest, and empowering.

Let’s keep raising empowered voices together!

In a timely message, Rev. Isaack Kimani, Archdeacon of the Anglican Church of Kenya in Turkana, has urged Kenya’s political leaders to respect one another, maintain peace, and stop bad politics. He called on them to set a good example for the public instead of fuelling division.

We commend Rev. Kimani for raising his voice with clarity and courage at this moment of political tension.

When faith leaders speak this way, they show how deeply faith and the pursuit of justice are connected. By challenging leaders to act with respect and integrity, Rev. Kimani is reminding us that genuine faith cannot ignore harm caused by reckless words and divisive actions. His message calls for leadership that protects unity and serves the wellbeing of all Kenyans; a demonstration that moral guidance from the Church is essential for building a fairer and more peaceful society.

May more voices of faith continue to speak boldly for truth and accountability.

🌍 Ever wondered why Kenya's conservation still carries colonial shadows; where wildlife often comes before people, and foreign models displace communities?

In this conversation, Carol Ng'ang'a sits down with conservation advocate Violet Matiru to unpack:

- The colonial roots of hunting bans, national parks, and how they criminalized indigenous practices while prioritizing elite safaris
- The politics behind today's conservancies: land grabs, human-wildlife conflicts, and profit-driven approaches like "if it pays, it stays"
- Why we take our rivers, forests, soil, and wildlife for granted; and the urgent need to reclaim indigenous knowledge for true coexistence
- Pesticides, river pollution, and the push for organic farming and community-led solutions
- Empowering youth, reconnecting with culture, and fighting recolonization through climate justice and self-reliance

Violet's insights; from her days with KWS under Leakey to mentoring the next generation, are eye-opening and inspiring. It's time to center communities and indigenous wisdom in how we protect our environment!

As devastating floods in March 2026 claimed lives, displaced thousands, and ruined livelihoods across Nairobi and beyond, Bishop David Munyiri of Glory Outreach Assembly boldly called for change.

In his statement, he urged the government to strengthen disaster management systems to better respond to and prevent such crises, noting how many have lost property and loved ones; worsened in Nairobi by influential figures grabbing land meant for drainage channels.

These aren't just natural disasters; they're amplified by corruption, weak enforcement, and neglected infrastructure; turning heavy rains into preventable tragedies that steal lives and futures.

We commend Bishop Munyiri for his prophetic voice, holding leaders accountable and calling out injustice. May his courage drive real reforms, and may comfort reach all affected. 🙏🏾

Women carry more than what we see.

Not just responsibilities.
But emotional weight.

The invisible work of:

holding families together

sensing when something is wrong

remembering what everyone else forgets

managing conflict

keeping the peace

being “strong” for everyone else

And most of the time… no one notices.

This is emotional labour.

The quiet work of managing not only your own emotions, but the emotions of everyone around you.

At work, it’s smoothing tension in meetings.

Being expected to be competent and pleasant.

Supporting team morale even when you’re exhausted.

At home, it’s anticipating needs before they’re spoken.

Carrying the emotional climate of the household.

Being the one everyone leans on.

And while women are often praised for this…

They are rarely supported in carrying it.

Over time, that invisible load becomes heavy.

Not because women are weak.
But because many have been strong for too long, for too many people.

The cost often shows up as:

burnout

emotional exhaustion

resentment

anxiety

feeling unseen despite doing everything right

And many high-achieving women feel guilty for being tired because, on paper, their lives look successful.

But success does not cancel emotional load.

In many of our cultures, women are taught to:

be strong

sacrifice quietly

keep the family together

not complain

So many grow up believing:

“My needs come last.”

But when a woman abandons herself for too long, eventually her well-being pays the price.

Real progress isn’t about asking women to be stronger.

It’s about:

Recognizing emotional labour

Sharing emotional responsibility at home and at work

Supporting women’s mental and emotional wellbeing

Because when women are well — emotionally and mentally — families, workplaces, and communities thrive.

This International Women’s Day, maybe the real question is:

Who takes care of the woman who takes care of everyone else? ❤️

What does emotional labour look like in your life or workplace?
