- A Charismatic, well-spoken and very well-dressed man. That is what you see when you look at Kasmuel. Under the surface however is a hurt young boy who was bullied and molested, a boy dying to make the pain go away. Kasmuel bares his soul and speaks about unaddressed trauma and its debilitating consequences. In shedding light on his past, he gives his future a fighting chance

Thank you Kasmuel for taking a step of courage and grace to opennly share your story infront of an audience. Its not easy, even knowing that your parents were watching and apologizing to them. You have given many young men the strength and understanding that someone can relate if they have gone through the same and that there's hope. May the Lord continue to do great things in your life, you are a strong person. The vulnerability you share only God can choose you to speak for Him to change other lives. You're God's Masterpiece and He loves you so much. Thank you for encouraging others through your story. Am truly sorry for all you've gone through may the Lord continue to heal you as you impact nations for His Glory. He's put a crown on your head for His Glory and Honor, may your words transform, encourage and lift up others

Parents when you visit your kids on boarding school,with trucks full of goodies, please care to ask if they know of any kids who have not been visited. Share,pack an extra bag. 😢
Well said.
Great advice

I agree with you,my daughter has a friend whose parents never visit her on visiting day,so has always been sharing whatever i take to her on that day.

Actually it just popped up.
Am here too
Who else has fallen in love with his voice & eloquence?❤
I was just about to comment that. Very well-spoken. It feels like I'm reading a well written novel
Me..I have 😀😀🤩
When I listened to him on the Trend, I just fell in love with his voice and eloquence, there is just something I can't explain
Tim hyena 😂😅👌
None 😂
High school is where most of us changed. Today I still wonder if I can take my kids to a boarding high school.
Great story here
The child will still change....no one goes through life without changing
Boarding, noo
Pole aki
DON'T EVER TAKE THEM TO BOARDING SCHOOL
"If you talk about these things, about the issues in your life. They no longer overpower you."
This is one of the bravest things I have seen anybody do. To share your vulnerability in such an eloquent and intelligent way is incredible Kasmuel. I especially appreciate your insertion of well-placed humour in an otherwise sombre story. You are clearly in this world for a reason; please continue to inspire. ❤
A very young man. Sorry for what you had to go through. You are strong, you have conquered, strive to always move forward. I hope nobody ever discriminate you over ADHD and bipolar.. many have lived a full fruitful life. They are mild issues.

McOure is so well-spoken! Waaah! He would make an excellent news anchor!
Am here after seeing Kasmuel in Maandamano .Indeed you never know the stories of what people are made ofjust be kind
Just came here after the bullying that he has been through for a couple of days and truly never judge someone.
It is not in the fluency or diction that this story was told but in the vulnerability to share such aspects of our lives. Vulnerability is the ultimate metric of courage and this right here is the embodiment of courage!
Kas I really hope and pray that you left that stage light - unfettered, liberated! Yours was indeed a great burden to bear and kudos for shedding it!
"Free At Last"
Wishing you well in all you do, continue being a blessing to all of us who get to witness and share in the numerous endowments that the Lord has bestowed on you!
Very well said!
THIS.... is courage.
Deserves a standing ovation !!
Now I understand the Phrase ' Be kind coz you never know what someone is undergoing '
Speed recovery Kas. I'm speechless 😢
He embodies Martin Luther King ,Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela and Tom Mboya .I wish him good luck in helping to make a better Kenya
I agree his bravity, eloquence, dress code, intelligence everything about him is just amazing 🥰🙌 I love his personality greatness is in him 🙌🫶🏿
This guy is amazing❤
Absolutely brilliant young man. So eloquent and courageous
He is greatness in the making
Oh yes he gives me goose bumps! Very talented young man. Mc….you will change the world I can’t wait for that day!
Good luck young man.
May your tormentors NEVER EVER find peace!
YOU ARE MY LEADER
Kasmuel is so eloquent and smart!
Oh yes, people suffer in silence
Like all the poor kids are. Be woke.
Kasmuel Kenyans love you!
Keep shinning
I BELIEVE IN YOU SIR
Maandamano people say hello.... it's because of maandamano we came to know him❤
Intelligence 💯 Eloquence 💯 Bravery 💯
Hugs, hugs and more hugs to Kasmuel.
Loved how you owned your truth, your future is so bright, best of luck champ👏🏽
As a Nigerian all I have to say is waoh this is a leader in waiting and I pray that the hands of our heroes passed and that of The Great Mother Earth prevail and protect you from the eyes of the evil forces in the entire world
Thank you 🙏🏾
Very true and Amen to your prayer 🙏🏾
Thank you for your words!
True.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. You're just on top of things. Thanks for sharing.
So eloquent...just followed you last week on tikkot....Greatness is evident....and it's imminent
Love this guy ✅✅✅ He's braver than he thinks. .. A beautiful mind enveloped in a beautiful spirit.
Bullying was something bad in high school especially in form one. Has been over 20 years since i left high school and still remember my tormentors. I was in boarding school and could sleep late when the bullies had slept. To be in lower class and poverty in a society is something very bad. The good thing when you in this status, it helps you work hard and achieve your dreams. I worked hard, went to college in Kenya as well as in university in USA. Proudly work and live in USA. For those who live in poverty and low class, work hard in school and trust in God who has the power to lift you up. Believing in God is your biggest weapon.
God is faithful son ,He heals the broken hearted and causes them to sit in thrones,thank you for voicing this ,we look at sexual molestation and think it’s for girls .you are brave .
Oh no so many boys are facing it now
The love I have for Kasmuel is beyond
Dude is polished
Would you know if he was found?
I can relate, schooling in a "rich school" and coming from a "humbled" background, though I cannot tell the difference between how rich is rich and how humble is humble, is a hell of a place, it's like a rabbit walking majestically in a pride of lions. People got stories, smiles hide the real monster within
weuh not easy
He speaks so well
THE VULNERABILITY TO SHARE SUCH A STORY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD
Quiet a touching story on bullying and sexuality in young people. Indeed let's have empathy for people who are in pain.
So smart...so eloquent...so brave
i will tell mine some day but as yours precedes i am very proud of you and thanks for sharing
The enemy saw your greatness and fought you to the core but GOD! Mercy Lord...
Now this one is touching.. Seeing Kasmuel during maandamano I thought he's just having fun with teargas
As someone I really look up to for his extraordinary music and piano skills, this is really deep. You are great Kasmuel
he has a great sense of humor ...such witty jokes ...so eloquent and poetic in his speech....a jack of all trades ...we celebrate you brother
Congratulations Kasmuel, this is the bravest in our christian walk. Walking with you in prayers 🙏
Never heard a more wellspoken person.
😂remove the wax in your...tuko wengi. This system despises eloquonce.
Such a brevity of substance.
Thank you for sharing Kasmuel. Every time you stand on the Engage stage, you speak to me. I identify with your experiences. I can't spot the genesis of mine but I hope to get to share such stories of overcoming. Praying for the same during these 10 days of prayer.
Yes, I am also an Adventist. I also went to the greatest high school North of Limpopo and South of Sahara and no, it's not Alliance. It is the great Our Lady of Mercy Ringa Boys High School P.O. Box 3 Oyugis.
😂😂😂 Oyugis is finally winning! You write well.
How does such things happen inSDA church and all are quiet ?
The more I watch his videos the more I like him, excellent 👌
Kasmuel this was profound. Wish you well brother ❤
Well well won Kas am proud of you and this extension of grace
Oh dear Lord 😢
May God uphold this young man.
Our God is a God of second chance... speechless Kasmuel Oure
What a brilliant gentleman! Very eloquent and well spoken. You will rise above it all. You will win.
I am really encouraged to see Kas standing on that stage and regaling the world about his pain so humorously and so boldly.
Honorable mention to those real friends who despite going against something he wanted at the time, made sure he had help.
Yes those are friends to be treasured.
As a mother ,i promise to be intentional in providing a safe environment for my son.Im sorry for what you went through. Hugs 🫂
Please do, your son will be proud of you
You can only do so much
Over Protecting is as harmful...
The bravery in the talk is high-level. Young man, may your destiny be as big as you dream it.
You are bold, son. Life has a very kind place for you.
Epitome of courage, humility and excellence. Your path is brightly lit young man
I also went to the Alliance and i totally relate on culture shock and the effects on a young person.
Thanks for being so brave.
Alliance girls wow 😮
Perhaps sometimes strength lies in vulnerability, the courage to embrace the parts of us that ache and more beautifully so to share the pain and experiences that have shaped us with the world. Thank you Kasmuel. Grace, love and light your way❤
It takes a tonne of courage to lay it all bare. I pray for God's healing in your journey......
Our next leader in Kenya. Congratulations #Kasmuel Mcoure
A brave, well-articulated and very impactful talk. According to WHO, 1 in 8 people globally is living with a mental health disorder, and these account for roughly 14.3% of deaths annually! Despite it's high prevalence, mental illness is massively underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in Africa. This is why I commend you for coming out and sharing your story, for although many people have been afflicted by illnesses such as depression, many do not come out or seek any kind of help. This usually concludes in suicidal ideations and ultimately suicidal attempts some of which succeed.
Mental resilience is a potent tool that can help us withstand the adversity of mental illnesses. One of the most practical ways of building resilience is through social connectedness... sharing your stories and taking comfort in the fact that you're not alone and you have people rooting for you. I applaud you, therefore, for taking the onus on yourself, to share your story, in the hope that it can impact someone else positively. I do wish you well, and hope that you find lasting joy and peace in the little things in life, and that you get freed from the suicidal thoughts that have afflicted you in the past. I also hope you have a good prognosis with your diagnoses! Thank you for sharing this, McOure 🙏🏾.
Thanks for this informative & compassionate comment
The courage to face one’s weaknesses is beginning of self liberation.Kasmuel you are a work in progress..more power to you to navigate through it all,you’re a victor.
I hope he is okay especially now that they started bullying him again through social media
Why? What has he done?
They will trigger bipolar disorder
He will overcome
Worry not,,God got him
@@releiabby6201Google him, a comment here wouldn't do.
Every day we live and play roles to mask who we really are. We hide our fears and stories because of the fear of being caught or judged. We smile, laugh at jokes, make someone smile but we are our past when we go back to our closet. We just wish for death than getting caught.
But have you stopped to think about who we are when we are unmasked; when we must exist in that raw open sphere of truth...
This is bravest McOure; and you've stirred hope and bravery in ladies and gentlemen going thru' this especially sexual assault.
One day I'll share mine on a global arena. Let's engage!
Most of us just live inside our heads and man, it's depressing as hell! I know that feeling of putting on a fassade on the outside while on the inside one is just a broken individual.
His honesty has saved just one soul if not many male or female who struggle with sexual abuse in childhood. Good to know im not alone. Awakening days are here.love you all strong souls who still souldier on with shame that doesnt belong to you.
This just broke my heart 💔 but what an eloquent , humorous and interesting speaker.
Such a touching story..
Parents should be very careful and get to know what happens to kids...these issues that happen to kids will injure them for a lifetime if not attended to.
I remember Kasmuel's high spirits in high school days, always with a cheer and a smile. Could also not comprehend the few troubling moments. It's very brave to share this personal story, thank you for the lessons learnt.
As always; very articulate, polished, witty and well delivered and the 'lifting' still continues. Onward and upward.
#strong_to_serve💪
Amen .i wish you God’s healing to heal others .
The talk got me thinking a lot, schools really leave children all ALONE teachers are not our parents. Little
wonder children are so DISCONNECTED from their parents. Damn this guy is so self aware the embarrassment from coming poor background, it so unfair, for children to be faced this pressure.
Wow I did not want to watch this talk but I am glad I did. Like they say never judge a book by its cover.
Wow! This is a smart young man. There is something so so great in you Kasmuel, May you get healed and bring healing to others. I pray that The Lord holds your hand and use you for His Own Glory
Love and light ❤❤❤
You are eloquent, brave and your story will change many. I do hope you have a chance to talk to the youth and tell them how stupid, mischevious stuns can ruin a life. Very brave to share your story! Respect
@Kas Mcoure, May God bring you healing where you hurt the most and fill you with His unmatched Love so that you may be overflowing with that Love of others!
There's strength in vulnerability!
Wow! Im so proud of you! The God you serve will never leave you
As pathfinder leader for years.... I ask myself, did I create a safe heaven for all children, did I miss something, could I have done better?
You’re brave. May God continue to walk with you in this journey.
Wooooooow proud of you've always been a cheeky smart one
And musically❤❤❤❤❤❤ smart
Was a my amazing working with you at Tuk
It takes a great deal of generosity to share such a story. ❤!
May you thrive beyond your wildest dreams !!!!!
This was sad yet beautifully told. May our good God be your comfort .
Thank you Kasmuel... I'm also bipolar and I went to Kottet... Loreto High school and it broke me in a way... I also had bouts of depression... Wanted to kill myself but couldn't and no one seemed to notice because I'm a serious introvert who is always sticking to the shadows... I deeply relate to your story... Thank you for sharing. You're gifted just like me so it's obvious that your path wouldn't be easy
Such courage! I wish you full healing.
This story is so close to mine. I cried through it all because of how much I can relate 😢😢
Take heart speak it out and you gonna find peace ✌️✌️
This guy one day,i say one day will be Kenya president
Ipoh siku
and if not,he will be a very senior government officer
Ameen ❤❤❤
@@erickimani9357Nah he's more presidential.
True
Bless you Kasmuel❤
We always loved when you came over across to accompany our festival classicals
You are a lovely soul✨
We very much appreciate his vulnerability , we would never have imagined he was going through this
I’m so sorry McOure…so sorry you had to go through all this at such a tender age. I’m glad you have told your truth and may your star shine bright. Ifikie high schools. I hope things have changed over time. Nobody deserves to go through abuse of whatever kind. May we extend grace to each other, more so children. 🖤🖤🖤.
VERY Brave young Man
Kasmuel Just Gave Some Of Our Stories In a Very Smooth and Respecting Way. its a rough world but we learnt how to walk.
Find help Vinnie, the past never defined you.
@@elizabethmwaniki7421 We already overcame Eliza
@@vinnietscyou people got bright future,and the devil thought he can eliminate you,but GOD
Enyewe if you are from Central lets accept, this level of English articulation and everything is 'not our mouth', tuachie Western and Kisumu roho safi 😂😂😂😂 wueh kizungu...excellent.
Very unfortunate high school experience.....😢...these stories make me wonder about boys schools esp boarding in Kenya
BOARDING schools in general
I think as a luo it’s easy to articulate because of the language.Other languages have too deep intonation it interfere with the eloquence you are talking about.Kikuyus are also great in other things we all can’t be perfect .All the imperfections make us one
Wewe pekee yako...am a kyuk and my engrishh is impeccable..👌 second to queens english .😂
We speak our Engrish inside the head😂
Watching this in July, 2024. After the #OccupyUhuruPark Clarion call...I have been so drawn to his charisma, this young man is gifted. His story finally explains his courage.
Anyone else at the edge of there seat while listening to this?
Disheartening. But relatable
This is the most bravest engaged talk I have heard. Sending you positive vibrations of grace. love and power.
A brilliant narrator... thanks for sharing
Man I look forward to every Engage Episode, Kasmuel's story resonates with so many of us boy child who suffer in silent, thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you, Augustine. Speak your truth, even if in the pages of a private journal.
Kasmuel Mcoure, you have a very great future. Don't allow anybody to lie to you otherwise.
You narrated what am tryna recover from
More Grace to you dear🙏
Son..God loves you so much . There is true joy in JESUS CHRIST. Give your life to Him and all will be sweet ❤.
This is bold. May you find healing and happiness. You have taken the right step in talking about your issue. May God lead and heal you. There is a God of second,third, and many more chances.
Its hard and tough to come out and speak of such things.
