Just…

Apparently, I was born on a Thursday Afternoon when it was warm and humid by the sea. Granted it was in a hospital, and not a surprise…just a touch dramatic. There were BBQ tongs involved.

OK not “tongs” but those medical grippy things that look like tongs.

I got yanked out by my head OK?

Anyway. I exist. I don’t know why and I guess I’ve finally gotten fed up with the way life is going to try and actually figure out what that “Why” may be. No, I haven’t finished reading either of Simon Sinek’s books. But I have them, so that’s a start right?

If you, too, have no idea what the f**k you’re doing come join me in whatever medium tickles your pickle. If you want a more immediate, intimate and infintely more permanent location, my Substack is “bae”…for now.

(BJJ Travel Posts) Ronin On…

For 10 months of 2024, I’m travelling around Europe and the US to dive into BJJ gym culture and experience the similarities and differences first-hand. I’m aiming to visit 30 different gyms in total before finally heading back to Kenya and starting my own journey in supporting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Kenya and East Africa and bringing awareness to those who want to experience African hospitality whilst honing in their combat skills and supporting a great community and cause.

WHAT I’M GETTING UP TO

From writings to wild dreams. From my freelance work to enjoying my African Lore podcast, see more of who I am and what I do below.

For 2024, I’m travelling across the UK, Europe and USA to visit at least 30 gyms as a solo female BJJ purple belt vagabond and sharing my experiences – one gym at a time.

Life Blog posts…

Whenever I find the moment to wax lyrical for a spell, you’ll find my offerings here. They’re usually rooted in philosophy or psychology and grow through lived experiences and sprout into the musings you know and love to read.

The Kenya Dream

I lost my mother to suicide in 2019 and never got to repair my relationship with my step-father before he passed in 2020. So taking on “Carpe Diem” I’ve let this little Someday dream become a today crusade. I’ve set up a long-term GoFundMe with phases to this goal. Go check it out – it’s got Mt. Kenya views and Alpacas!

Hire me!

Did you know I have a podcast?

Since around 2019, I’ve been spending an hour or so waxing lyrical about various musings into a microphone and uploading it to the internet for people to listen to. It’s more like a personal diary of whimsy with occasional hard-hitting collections of episodes that take you somewhere. I’d love to say it’s on a regular schedule, but honestly what’s regular? Even with travelling and finally leaving the UK in 2024 and aiming to relocate back home in Kenya, the episodes will be sporadic – much like my life. So, go check out the homepage of Getting Shiggi With… and marinate your mind with my silky smooth velvety chocolate voice delivering all kinds of moments that make you think.
