  • Njeri Migwi is truly a remarkable woman. She is a mother and the Executive Director of Usikimye Kenya, an NGO that fights against sexual and gender based violence. An organisation she began while she was still living under sexual and gender based violence, afraid to leave.
    And in this sixth episode, Kalekye sits down with Njeri to have a much needed conversation that opens us to a world of marrying young, believing in staying and praying for a marriage despite the emotional, mental and physical abuse to marrying for survival and still having the will to love again.
    How does one heal and still believe in love after the one she trusted and called husband beat her so bad it left her deaf in one ear? How does one trust again and how should they be made feel safe when we can tell their guard is constantly up?
    There must be time to heal and have an identity away from titles and those willing to love a victim of assault must be kind, understanding and have a lot of patience.

    I'm still watching but in the initial stages I'm struck by the fact that nobody is calling the grown man with a 15 year old a pedophile. That's what he is 1st of all.

      Right! That’s what angered me the most. But years ago to be honest that wasn’t something many people looked at keenly from within the continent and world over. So sad that wasn’t something that raised eyebrows.

    When I hear such stories I thank God the person survived and I can not help but wonder where the perpetrator is; are they beating the next person and living life freely without apprehension.
    This is an absolutely good conversation and she seems like a nice lady. However, I think the choices we make should be to a good standard and not drop them just because people think they are too high; someone will meet you up there.

      I couldn't really cook to taste until about 23years old; it's not really a big deal. You can employ a chef... But if you're alone, hunger may train you the urgency way ... If you can't reach where to buy/order on time.

    Faith comes by hearing the word of God
    Shame comes by hearing
    If something is repeated too often you start believing it
    It's called the power of the tongue
    This is my punch line

      That’s a song I wrote and sang called Ngito which is Kamba for heavy - so those vibes are heavy. I sang it featured on an Electrique DJs track back in 2016. You can search Ngito on RUclips the audio version is here

    There is more to you out there. Have a positive self-image and esteem. Treat people with respect and do not let anyone rob you of your destiny... Anyone with conscience will know when they are hurting another... And apologize... And treat them better. If you mistakenly take the first abuse, maje sure that you dont harbour the second, or else, it becomes a pattern/lifestyle that would be tough to shake off. Remember that you aren't helping the #abuser by tolerating their bad behaviour; rather, you are encouraging a monster...
    Another #fighter #conqueror is #Njeri. Thank you and may God be with you. Thank you #Kalekye. May God perfect that which concerns you too (and I ) in Jesus name.
