An Escapade to Remember at Sagana’s Mimosa Park

Image
An exquisite bush breakfast under the open skies on Sunday, August 17, 2025, unfurled like a vision from a glossy travel brochure. The cool air held the richness of dew-kissed grass, the aroma of freshly brewed tea curled upwards like a soft invitation, and the golden morning light flowed through the trees. Plates filled with hearty dishes passed around as laughter rang out, louder than the birdsong. For the Merians from Thika Greens, it was more than just a meal; it was a joyful bonding moment, where conversations flowed as freely as the tea, stories sparked endless laughter, and no one really wanted the morning to end. The adventure was far from over. With spirits high and hearts full, the company made its way from the rustic charm of the bush breakfast to the serene embrace of Mimosa Park for the day’s formal outing. The atmosphere shifted, carrying with it a sense of reverence and anticipation.  Beneath the canopy of swaying trees, Mr. Fabian Kaburu, the Chairman, opened the ...

HOW TO BE AN ONLINE CHASING WRITER.

You well-know that words can influence, inspire, and inform. Anybody can become an online writer, but it is all about passion and consistency. What you may not have realized is that your words can change the world.

Online writing is super easy, and these are some of the steps one can build on.

But first things first: writing is a TALENT at the same time an ART. Before you even think on embarking on this exciting journey, gauge your passion.

First, one needs to know who they are. What does it mean by ‘Knowing who you are?’ Figuring out who you are and what you should write about are some of the setbacks new writers face. To evade this, you must have a personal definition of what success is and know where your individual strengths lie. This becomes a ‘walk in the park’ or a smooth sail on online writing. Personally, I came to discover my strengths after training with Kenyawriters.com and ajiradigital.go.ke . For more on this, check out my blog https://nkathanivah.blogspot.com/

Secondly, you should get out there and start pitching. This calls for writing samples through various social media platforms that are accessible to potential clients. You can consider starting a blog or create your own website for more exposure. REMEMBER, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, CONTINUE WRITING REGULARLY TO POLISH YOUR SKILLS.

Thirdly, know that the work is not always glamorous. In as much as you want your articles to be recognized by well-known writing companies, remember that Rome was not built in a day. Start small and grow; you will reach there. By starting small you can perhaps write and save your article on WhatsApp status, where it can only be viewed by your contact list, for example and gradually grow to feature in key newspapers and magazines.

Fourth, network, network, network. As an online writer, networking is the secret to success because it wideness your scope of exposure. Creating portfolios on websites like LinkedIn can help you reach out to other writers who will link you up to their uplines. You need to network with like minded people. Therefore, the more people you know the easier you are accessible to openings for your growth.

Lastly, learn how to invest in yourself. ‘There is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself.” Once you have fully developed your writing and editing skills you can become a freelancer. To ensure your investment is worth it, put in the work yourself and you will be sure to receive results. This may not happen in the wink of an eye but may take time, hence calling for faith and belief in yourself.

If you are thinking of becoming an online writer, the time is NOW. Start it. Be your own motivation.😉

Kenya's Leadership Shocker: Kindiki Takes Deputy President Role in Mid-Term Power Shift!

Image
It was a momentous moment for Kenyan politics: Professor Kithure Kindiki took the oath of office, earlier today at KICC Nairobi, and became the Deputy President of the country, going down in history as one of the few officials to assume such a high office before the end of an electoral term. Far from the usual five-year election cycle, this presents a new dawn in Kenya's political landscape, testing the stability of governance structures in the country. The swearing-in of Kindiki is significant, not only because transitions at the executive level at mid-term periods are rare but also for what it represents: adaptability in governance amidst an evolving political climate.  Conventionally, a deputy president should serve a full term with the president except in circumstances beyond their control. This appointment in the middle of the cycle has, however, driven the point home that leadership changes can occur through constitutional processes and not necessarily through electoral cycle...

The Return of Donald Trump: A Portrait of Power and Defiance.

Image
On January 20, 2025, the world witnessed an extraordinary moment as Donald J. Trump was inaugurated once again, marking an unprecedented return to the highest office in the United States. His 2025 inauguration was not merely a political event; it was a statement, a defiant assertion of resilience, grit, and unyielding ambition.  Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance at the 2025 inauguration ceremony. Against the backdrop of history, the official portrait unveiled shortly before the ceremony added to the gravitas of the day. More than just a picture, it was a manifesto - an image that echoed Trump’s journey and the battles he had fought. In this new official portrait, Trump’s piercing gaze seems to cut through the noise of political opposition and the chaos of the years that preceded his return. His scowl, purposeful and commanding, speaks to a man hardened by adversity, unafraid to confront the challenges that lie ahead.  Dressed in a deep blue suit with a flag pin, he is...

From Shaking Hands to Confident Bylines: My Transformative Journey at Nation Media Group

📰✨ Last month, May 2025, marked the culmination of a chapter from this great historic book of mine that I'm writing... I'm not used to such kind of long posts but I'm going to try today 'cause this journey deserves it! 🙈 When I first walked through the doors of Nation Media Group in February 2025, I carried with me years of preparation, passion for journalism, and a determination to make the most of this opportunity. As a graduate who has completed my Bachelor's in Journalism and Mass Communication with a focus on Electronic Media at Daystar University and is awaiting graduation in November 2025, I was finally stepping into one of East Africa's most prestigious media houses.
