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

Image
πŸ“°✨ 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! πŸ™ˆ 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.

As of 2022, the divorce and separation cases stood at 5,611 having increased from 2013 which was 1,194. In connection to this, the Kenyan Supreme Court ruled on Friday that married couples are not automatically entitled to equal shares of matrimonial property in case of divorce. This precedential ruling stated that upon divorce each spouse should leave their marriage with the wealth each individual acquored themself.
