We Must Do More to Protect Our Children: Why Kenya Needs a National Safeguarding Framework

Written by Ezekiel Olande on Tuesday, 19 May 2025. Like many Kenyans, I was shaken after reading The Teacher and the System, the recent exposé by Africa Uncensored. It was a harrowing account of repeated abuse, institutional silence, and systemic failure at one of Kenya’s most well-known schools. But that story is not an isolated case.

Why Taarab, Ohangla & Luhya Music Feel So Familiar — A Deep Dive by Bloga Flani

When you take a closer listen to genres like Taarab, Ohangla, and traditional Luhya music, something clicks — a familiar rhythm, a storytelling style that feels intentional, and a habit of naming names unapologetically. These East African musical forms, though culturally distinct, share a powerful trait: they are communal mirrors, often telling long, winding stories that reflect real-life social dynamics, beefs, praises, and gossip.

This album isn’t just a collection of songs ... it’s a textured, emotionally intelligent body of work that reflects the quiet confidence of an artist who understands her lane and is no longer asking for permission to occupy it.

From Nairobi Roots to Global Stages STL’s story begins in Kenya, before her […]
