STELLAR GIRLS KENYA & NOVA PIONEER SCHOOLS

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! 

We are happy to have taken the first step into our long-lasting and fruitful friendship with the formidable and prestigious Nova Pioneer Schools, Tatu City. This past Sunday, 13th November 2022, we were called upon to mentor and minister to students at Nova Pioneer High Schools, Tatu City (Girls & Boys). Our stellar mentors showed up in large numbers to share, mentor, educate, elevate and empower the students into eventually transforming into their best version a.k.a their stellar version! 

The speakers for the church services were stellar mentors; Austine Muga (boys) and Nicole Kimani (girls) who strongly spoke and taught on ‘Finishing Strong’ and ‘Anxiety & Anger Management’ respectively. With National Exams nearing, there’s a tendency to fear what’s coming and guidance on key tips to handle the looming pressure were effectively put across by our mentors.

After the service the students still wanted more from us and more did we give!! We hang around for an intense Q&A session and had all mentors present assigned a class to handle. This session, albeit short, proved more productive that we thought possible. We were teaching, mentoring and directing on matters life, school, career but also still being taught a thing or two by the very attentive and bright students.

One of our mentors was asked a question (Form 3 student) that they had to skillfully respond to by saying, “Wow! Can that be my take-home assignment? I shall get back to you once I do proper research.” 

“How does Tesla use data analysis to increase their sales per annum?”

Dear friends of Stellar Girls Kenya , we need a comprehensive answer to this mind-blowing question for our next visit to Nova! That’s your Call To Action. 

What an experience!
What a day!
We are honored. We were challenged and are definitely going back!

Thank you Nova Pioneer Kenya

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 ...

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.” ~ Warsan Shire. “Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”~ Warsan Shire.

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
