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

Image
📰✨ 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. The Reality Check: Workplace Dynamics Ain't for the Faint-Hearted The small small madharaus (the kawaida one mnakuanga mmewekea interns) - yes wewe, I see you! 👀 Those inward cries and wanting to burst into tears.  These hardships found in most workplaces have hardened me TWICE as muc...

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...

WHAT NEXT FOR THE PEOPLE OF MERU?

Image
Meru County, nestled on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, has long been a region of vibrant political activity. Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics. Historically, the region has been governed by a blend of community elders, known as the Njuri Ncheke, and elected officials. This unique interplay has often created a delicate balance between respecting traditional governance and embracing the democratic process. However, in the past few years, this balance has been disrupted. The county has experienced rising political tension...
