A Stellar Woman's World

Today marks 3 years since I said “I do.” Three years of learning, stretching, laughing, fighting, forgiving, and above all, growing (literally and figuratively). Marriage has been both beautiful and humbling. It has mirrored parts of me I never knew existed, both good and not-so-good. It has amplified behaviours I thought I'd perfected. It welcomed we and stopped me at the door with one question: "So you think you've got it all figured out, huh?" As I reflect on this journey so far, I felt led to share 3 core lessons that have stood out for me in this season of becoming one. I call them “3 Lessons at 3.”  - 3 years. Family of 3. 3 lessons.   1. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s necessary Forgiveness for me has been so hard, I can't lie. I struggle to move on from an offense. It is one of the areas that still needs improvement. I hold onto offense for long and have a tendency of wanting to block and forget anyone who offends me. Marriage, however, doesn't give ...

It all began with two different passions that came together to create something bigger than either of us could have imagined. My husband was deeply passionate about mentorship for the youth. He spent countless hours planning youth rallies and mentorship programs, first in his church (in the city and in upcountry) and later in Nyakach Sango, his hometown - and now my home as well  . Even today, he continues to be an advocate for young people, empowering them to become leaders and live better lives. I, on the other hand, was a young girl determined to empower girls and women. My journey started at Hanne Howard Fund in Lenana, where I worked to uplift and empower young girls to see a future they didn't think possible. From High School to Uni days, my best days were those I spent going for Community Outreach. Our paths crossed, and it was in that shared desire to create change and empower those around us that we founded Stellar Generation Kenya (SGK).  Running SGK together has bee...

Lately, I’ve been reading the Bible, and I mean REALLY reading it from Genesis and targeting to finish it to Revelations; a goal we as the JET MINISTRIES INTL are seriously pursuing. I am currently on 1st Samuel where David was introduced and up to this point, I can say without a shred of doubt that the Bible is more than a thriller movie, it's epic to say the least! There were times I read how the Israelites set for battle and as I went through the narrations all I could think about was "What in the Vikings' Ragnar is happening here?" 🤣 I read the book of Judges, and let me just say - it was heavy!! 😥 One story that stopped me in my tracks was about the Levite and his concubine in Judges 19. It’s disturbing. Violent and painfully silent. You read it and wonder, where was God when all this was happening? Judges 19 brings to our attention a deeply tragic story that reflects the moral decay in Israel during a time when 'everyone did what was right in their own eye...
