Moving Along

My research has made me even more excited and committed to going to Kenya. I am really learning a lot about the culture and the people. Since I am a writer and I have been exploring the possibility of writing about my experiences in Kenya I keep coming across the Nation Media Group. Additionally, I came across veteran journalist, Wangethi Mwangi, who is the Editorial Director. As you can see Nation Media Group employs some very ambitious and business savvy individuals. Wangethi Mwangi is very verbal about the role that the media plays in spreading the campaign for independence for Kenya. Kenya is a multicultural country made up of numerous ethnic groups. This diverse culture adds to the allure for me. There is also the Kenyan cuisine for me to think about. I want to try this dish called Biriani, which has beef (or chicken), rice, onions, potatoes, papaya, ginger, yum, yum, YUM! It just sounds delicious, actually I was thinking of trying it at home. I am a pretty good cook, which is ironic because so is Wangethi Mwangi. It just so happens to be a hobby of his. It makes me feel so good and confident to know that I have things in common with people who are way across the world. It also shows me that I can achieve my goals. Traveling and becoming an accomplished writer doesn’t seem like a far away dream. But hey, that’s just me.
