I stood there, frozen. A young girl had just shared her deepest fear , feeling unsafe in her own home. Before I could process that, another student responded with words that revealed just how deeply rooted misconceptions and silence can be.
On the same day, I listened to boys speak about the confusion and embarrassment surrounding their own natural experiences,things they felt they couldn’t talk about without shame. These are the voices of our children. Their struggles. Their realities. And yet, as a society, we often look away, leaving them to navigate these challenges alone.
Last year, together with Street Talent Africa, we launched Menstrual Mental Voice, a project aimed at creating safe spaces for students to have honest conversations about their well-being – physically, mentally, and emotionally. We began with six schools in Dagoretti, but this is only the start. Our mission will build up to a mega event on May 28, 2025, bringing together students, school leaders, religious and community elders, political figures, and key government ministries to address the pressing issues affecting young people in schools.
This year, my mission is clear,Riding for Impact. As a brand, I will be focusing on three key areas: Education, Health, and Cultural Preservation. You will see me taking on unusual rides, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and using my voice as a motorcycle rider to spark critical conversations that shape our communities and our country.
If we truly care about the future, we must break the silence. We must listen. We must act. We must talk!
One kilometer, one Country,one ride at a time
