These bags are made in Kenya, woven by hand by women on the shores of Lake Victoria. The material is othith, a soft palm reed from the Lake Victoria region. The weavers split it into fine strips, dye it and weave it into a sturdy bag. The leather detailing and lining are added in Nairobi. For the classic design, one expert weaver does all the weaving. The brand calls her quality rare. This is premium handwork. This is Nyabondo Baskets, a Luo brand founded in 2015 by @JudyAtieno. She started it to keep Luo weaving alive and to put money in the weavers' pockets. The classic basket sells for KSh 3,500. The skill is already there. What it needs is orders.

Shukrani sana kwa majirani wakenya! 🇰🇪 My experience since I had to flee home has been that Kenyans are special - and the reason we will be safe is because of the People of Kenya - please never change your spirit! Mnapenda sana Haki na mko tayari kumpambania mtu hata kama hamumjui! One day I hope I can pay this forward even if I can never repay everyone for their help, hospitality! The day I write my biography it will make more sense! For now we FIGHT ON! Aluta continua!

You have the unfortunate luck of being an unscrupulous president in a generation where the youth do not forget! Now you have to go defend your seat against a demographic that won't forget you butchered them. Every waking day is a new day to loose popularity. Hard Small!

Interesting architecture that Kenyans living in Lokichokio, Lotokipi, North Horr, Baringo...ought to build homes underground. ⏳

In Matmata, Tunisia, people have lived in underground homes for hundreds of years, with rooms carved into deep pits and connected by tunnels.

Serena has been a beneficiary of 'retroactive TUEs'. In '23, a Spaniard tested +ve for a PED, Spain's NADO shamelessly went ahead to grant them a retroactive TUE and subsequently an indefinite TUE approval. Halafu wazungu wanakuja kutuimbia "integrity of the sport" and other bs.

and shaming are rarely applied elsewhere with the same intensity. I still insist that until the little-remarked-upon fact of disproportionate Therapeutic Use Exemption abuses by athletes from the US, Europe and Australia is properly addressed, there is no level playing field.

You’re deep in the estate renovating a bathroom and adding some tiles here and there, out of nowhere kanjo wako kwa gate knocking. Yet somehow they missed a whole ghorofa being built without any approvals.

Your laboratories are using the WRONG reagents. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Or someone somewhere in Nairobi is contaminating urine samples of our athletes. Way too many cases= clear vendetta ya watu pale Adak @mukua_karimi @Kiarago_Migwi @samwel_lodio @KenyanHunk_
Athletics Integrity Unit@aiu_athleticsOct 23
The AIU has provisionally suspended reigning World and former Olympic champion, Peres Jepchirchir, after an out-of-competition sample, collected in Kenya prior to her recent Sydney Marathon victory, returned an adverse analytical finding for EPO. 1/2

The vision was for Kenya to become an apartheid state governed by a white settler minority. The British government had, in principle, opposed this trajectory since the 1920s, but it took the Mau Mau uprising to convince hardliners like Delamere that the project was untenable.
Paul Olind@OlindPaulOct 20
You're badly misinformed, perhaps read more into what the settler community in Kenya planned to do in response to the Devonshire White Paper. This tale of hedonistic soft uppity nose settlers in Kenya often sounds exotic but it hides a lot of uncomfortable facts

The only reason why we love the ronaldo more than any other football players with the same capabilities in the field. Ronaldo is a too kind and helping hand personality.

💯💯🥰😍 Nyeri town should also force Highlands to produce BABITO soda. My childhood visits to town was having a Babito soda with ïndathi (most shapeless Mandazi found in Nyeri cafes till date 🤦🏾‍♀️).
