Zoey Seboe

  Its a Monday for women. To all the amazing women in the world I send you LOVE. In the streets of the internet I came across Zoey and my heart wobbled with love. Meet Zoey Seboe, a 22-year-old aspiring Miss South Africa 2022 who was born with Lamellar Ichthyosis, a rare skin disorder that many mistake for burnt marks or eczema. Lamellar ichthyosis is a type of ichthyosis that affects the skin. People with this condition are often born with a tight, clear sheath covering their skin called a collodion membrane. Zoey believes that everyone is unique in their own way and wants everyone to focus on the natural beauty of human existence. Her family encouraged her to model as she grew up, telling her that she was beautiful all the time. She refused to be defined by expectations and impressions in a culture where beauty standards are frequently unreasonable. Zoey Seboe, was just named one of the Top 30 contestants for Miss South Africa 2022, she has overcome her skin problem to pursue...

Mom in a trolley

On Saturday afternoon I was in a mall. I was there with a nosy friend of mine I had bumped on. She asked if I could walk her to Naivas to pick some stuff for her daughter. I didn't hesitate. She's someone you wouldn't mind walking with. She's funny. Your day wouldn't remain the same if you bumped on her.  We dived from one shelf to another and after ten minutes we had picked nothing from the shelves. At the opposite shelves we noticed a woman with a three year old young daughter in her trolley. Okay I guess she was three, I didn't ask her mom.  As they passed the shelves the child started crying for some candies  and her mom told her no. She started to whimper and yell. The woman then  said discreetly, "Presently Kate, we simply have half of the walkways left to go through; don't be vexed. Soon!" In our shopping basket was one pack of diapers. Shopping with women is not an easy task. It's even harder if you're their man. Lucky me. You have ...

Happy Mother's Day

  A story  was told of a mother and her  child. A woman and the fruit of her womb. One who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. A tale of two humans who fall in love by default. A people who didn't meet in the mall or in a concert  somewhere in carnivore grounds. Not even in church. Of  two people who often first lay their eyes on each other in the labour room.  You get the difference ? A room filled with genuine pain and unmatched joy at the same time. A room where a bond developes. A bond that was created in heaven. When you wish your mother a happy mother's day today don't forget to wish mine as well. I'll remember to wish yours too before sunset.  Call her or send her a text message. You can send her a voice note or  buy her a dress. Use any love language. Make your mama feel loved.  Today the second Sunday of May, we celebrate all the mothers. With unconditional Love. Happy Mother's Day 🌹💐

An Inch in love

  Have you ever asked google what character development is? if you ask google it will probably suggest for you if you want the meaning in Kenya. “More often than not, men will embarrass you,” that’s how she started the story. I crossed my legs and sat back in curiosity like Benjamin Zulu does when he’s advising you about relationships, only that I don’t have big eyes. This time it’s a lady, you can call her Atis or Munglu. She met a guy who liked her, she was not sure if she liked him too. Maybe they met at the super metro queue going to Kinoo. Someone made us believe that relationships last longer if you met her in the mall and you were afraid to ask for her number. She was reluctant to give him a chance despite him being Doktari. Women like this title. How you introduce yourself in a family gathering when your husband is a Doctor, “Doktari and I…” you’d rather cross the ocean on a bicycle than miss the word Doktari in your introduction. She’s a college student somewhere in west...
