KENYA IS HOME
Kenya is home. It’s where I was born and it’s where the majority of my family still lives. I feel the most connected and regulated here, and it’s because my body and spirit instinctively know that I’m home. While I spend most of my time in Nairobi when I’m here, I always find time to visit the ancestral land/farms on both sides of my family.
i grew roots in chicago
This has been my permanent residence for over 20 years. My love for this city runs so deep. It\’s where I became myself as an adult. It’s where I put down professional roots, built a real community, and fell in love with the culture, architecture, people, sports, and it\’s 90 days of summer.
