The Mama, The Mentor, The Stellar Woman – Meet Mercy!

Welcome to My Nest 🪺

I’m a woman with a hearty laugh, a mother to a little stellar girl and wife to an incredible man. I’m a social bird who still deeply values her peace and quiet, a goofball at heart, often the life of the party, with a creative mind and a happy-go-lucky spirit. I genuinely believe life is for the living, and I’m determined to be counted among those who soak in every drop of it!

While I’ve always enjoyed being around people, I’ve recently discovered the beauty of solitude. For the longest time, I considered myself an extrovert but after observing my habits more intentionally and taking the famous 16 Personalities test, I realized I lean more toward the introverted side and honestly? I love this version of me too.

I love telling stories, reliving moments, and capturing memories whenever I can. Writing and journaling are my therapy sessions - quiet pockets of time where I can just be. I also find immense joy in cooking. I may not have Michelin stars under my belt, but I sure can whip up a solid family meal! And music? Music adds rhythm to my life. My playlist changes like the weather, but there's always a song for every season.

At the very core of who I am lies a deep passion for youth mentorship and community outreach. Alongside my husband, we founded Stellar Generation Kenya - a faith-based mentorship and empowerment initiative for teenagers and youth. We believe that every generation carries the responsibility to pass down wisdom and insight to the one that follows. Through SGK, we’ve created a platform for individuals who believe in this cause to step up and make a lasting impact.

I’m not entirely sure how you found your way here, but whatever brought you, I'm glad it did.

QUORA 3: STAKI MKATE!

Q: Has a homeless/street person ever refused food you've offered them? If so, did they provide an explanation? Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my fellow repeat readers or repeat clients, if you may! Today I have a short story to bless your eyes and ears. Will it blow your mind? Maybe. Will it give you reason to come back here and check out more stories? Definitely!  I assume that most of you my readers are Nairobi residents and if not, you've been here at one point in your life. This is a notably great city with beautiful people, a people with a culture so rich everyone outside it wants to come have a taste. It is a hub of 'unity', or so they say. It's here that the assorted bunch of the various tribes come to link up, all forty two of them. Our relatives from the rurals are fascinated by this city, no wonder they gather around to hear tales of its craziness every time  Nairobians visit home for Christmas. The streets, as usual, are ever buz...

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

What's success to you?

When I enrolled into University, my main goal was to succeed, that’s everyone’s goal at this point really. Time has passed by so quickly and the goal still remains the same. Many are times I tend to lose focus on this goal and I end up messing up big time. Life’s like a mountain, you’ve got to gather the strength to move up to the peak despite the strong wind that will try to block you from getting there. You might reach some point and get tired, or you lose the strength to move on but with your eyes fixed at the peak, all is gonna go smoother than you can imagine. But you've got to have the hunger to reach there, you’ve got to have the desire to acquire what’s at the peak, have fire in your belly, be proactive, strong-willed, optimistic and most of all prayerful. All that I think lies with what YOU think success is. There are gazillion definitions of success but I think every single person should have their own definition of this success we all very much want. What'...
