$998 a day. Sh129,241. For over 100,000 people, that's the price the US is now putting on each day of an uncertain status — many of them Kenyans far from home. Fines designed not to collect, but to push people out. Self-deportation shouldn't be a family's only exit from debt.

Most healing starts at repair. But there’s a step before that. The moment someone turns toward what they’ve been carrying. Notices it. Becomes willing to name it. That step — reflection — is where everything either opens or closes. And it only happens when the conditions are right.

Kenya granted the US unrestricted access to: personal medical records, genetic data, lab samples, insurance details, and digital health platforms. For 25 years. In exchange: $1.6B ($200/person). It bypasses Kenya's own data protection laws. This is what digital colonialism looks like.

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. ” - Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4–5

Infographic on a pale peach textured background. Red bold title at top reads "MY CIRCLE OF CONTROL" with black subtitle "I WILL FOCUS ON WHAT I CAN CONTROL."

Center features a large circle with a colorful border in alternating sections of coral red, purple, and teal, outlined by a black dashed line. Purple text in the circle's center states "THINGS THAT ARE IN MY CONTROL." Around the inner circle, eight controllable factors are listed in black text: "The amount of effort I put in," "My words," "My actions," "How I treat others," "Whether or not I follow rules," "How I handle my feelings," "My decisions," and "How I take care of myself."

Below the circle, purple text reads "THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL" followed by six uncontrollable factors in black text arranged in two rows: "What other people do," "Things from the past," "Other people's choices," "What other people say," "How other people feel," and "The weather."

This morning, it feels like we’ve all woken up with the audacity of hope again. I often think of how Obama’s father struggled to find that hope, and how Mamdani’s father, in his quiet scholarship, helped many of us learn to weave hope into the very structures of care we’re building around the world.

So very true!

A atmospheric photograph showing a solitary tree with dark green foliage emerging from thick, gray-white mist or fog. The tree appears to be leaning slightly, with visible branches and leaves creating a dramatic silhouette against the cloudy, ethereal background. White text overlays the bottom portion of the image with a quote from Wendell Berry that reads: "Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.

May those speaking up be protected and blessed. 💚

Inspirational quote displayed on a diagonal gradient background transitioning from teal blue on the left to lime green on the right. The text is written in white, casual handwritten-style font and reads:

"May courage fill their voices as they speak truth to power. May they be surrounded by protection and unwavering allies.

May their bravery light the way for others. Their integrity remain unshakable, and their spirits stay strong.

May those who would silence them find their power broken, while their truth echoes forward, creating safer ground for all who follow.

Blessed are those who choose conscience over comfort. May they be held, defended, and honored.

Blessed be."

The signature "Blessed be." appears in a more stylized script font at the bottom right.
