This are just but a few of the fascinating things you'll find in the coastal region specifically; Mombasa. I'm a city girl so knowing that I would study in Mombasa was a whole new experience for me I can't say I was that exited, I honestly just wanted to get this done with and go back to Nairobi I guess when you've been staying somewhere for more than a decade it literally becomes a part of you.  The Technical University of Momabasa, that was where I would be spending my next couple of years, and I did. I still am actually. The reminisce of my life in university is what most of us call a perfect imbalance, somewhere in between good and bad but we all make the best out of everything, well at least some of us do. Walking into another different place far from home w...

They account for about 75% of Kenya’s population, according to the World Bank. Countries like Kenya, which have a relatively youthful population, stand on the runway of economic take-off if they find the correct formula to harness the energy, creativity and entrepreneurship that young people have to offer. The youth are an economic force that can both drive and create demand for goods and services especially due to the growing digital economy. How then can Kenya position itself to benefit from its youthful demographic while avoiding the potential political pitfall? One of the answers is to be found in the government’s Big Four Agenda . When the government invests directly or facilitates investment in attaining food security, building affordable homes, accelerating manufacturing an...

Some people may ask what true love is, well we all have our understanding of it but I for one believe that love is a feeling that prevails throughout time and is forever young when it's shared by two hearts that have become one. Love is a substance of the hearts united and calls for two individuals to commit to each other in an unwavering, unbreakable and unparalleled fondness and devotion for one another.  Everyone usually wants the fairytale love for themselves, one we see in movies and animations. Love that doesn't weiver,love that's pure and magical. For many of the young hearts in campuses that's not usually the case.  In the 1990s, most media reported that students mostly blamed the government for the deaths and murder of their colleagues.That was then. Fast forward 20 years later and while the players remain the same, the script has changed. Fingers are no longer pointed at police and government agents for the horror tales that haunt campu...

R&B derived from gospel, jazz, folk, and traditional blues music and emerged in tandem with rock ‘n’ roll. R&B notably diverged from rock music in later decades. Contemporary R&B is often driven by keyboards, synthesizers, strong bass lines, and looped drum beats. In this sense, it has more in common with hip hop than rock music. Contemporary R&B songs regularly top charts, making R&B one of the most commercially successful genres in the modern music industry. In the 1940s, R&B music exploded in urban centers like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles—all of which had s...
