Meet Rae

Each time I write, I find new ways to fully express myself. Each time I write, I find my voice and in a world where a lot is being said about, well, everything, I feel it’s important for all of us to find our voices.

So this blog, my blog, is really a place where I document my experiences as a mom, as a radio show host and as an individual.

Loved this photo. It was taken by one of incredible friends and colueges Natani Nyaga. Natani passed away a year ago. I miss him. He and I woud take pictures during our breaks at work. I remember this shoot. It was (and is) one my favourite shoots. One of the photos he took ended up on a newspaper when I was lucky enough to get a feature. I miss you Natani!!

Lol. You know, I stole this top from my mother’s closet. It was part of what I thought was a hideous two piece matching skirt and top. Had been wearing it as a peplum top when my mom told me the story behind said “hideous’ two piece. My dad had bought her that outfit after a tiresome and prolonged work project in Zimbabwe. I borrowed it (stole it) months after my dad passed away back in 2012, not knowing the sentimental value she placed on it. She let me keep it. But yeah… I definitely value it a lot more.

My good friend (who I haven’t talked to in a long while) Marco, took this photo. He convinced me that he was a pro at taking portrait pics. He is. Thing is, on this day, the light was terrible and the photo ended up with a horrid dark shadow on my neck which I proceeded to try to get photoshopped out. Lol. Still looks like it’s there but hey, good memories!

I had just turned 27 on this day and really cool friend, Hondo, was awesome enough to take some great photos of me :-) It was also on this day that I received incredibly tasty cupcakes from my awesome friend Dorcie.

Taken at the end of 2017 by star photographer A Kenyan Story for the ‘Do It Like A Dude’ cancer awereness campaign. This was such a great campaign. Worked alonside Cancer Soldiers Foundation to spread awareness on cancer and learnt that when it comes to a good cause, no effort is ever too small.

I was so tired during this shoot. I’d come home from my weekend show and had barely caught a few minutes of sleep thanks to my daughter (who was in her terrible twos), but, the photographer(s) were such awesome people and man did they make me feel comfortable and happy! Shout out to Clive Muthomi and Sharon Mukami!! Kindest people I’ve come to know.

Dear Alexis, this journey me and you have been on (and still are on) has been an incredible one. Guys, I don’t talk about this enough but I feel as though, motherhood is a real-life roller coaster. No really it is! Filled with unexpected twists and turns that nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, ever prepares you for. Hard to believe that it’s been THIS long since this day. I was a few days away from labour and like any woman, I wanted to get my very first motherhood moments forever immortalizde in the form of photos. I love this photo. I love being a mom. I love you Alexis!!

Hahaha :-D This photo is a true testament to how far the 21st century generation will go to take a great pic. Shout out to my friend Emily who I’m pretty sure was risking life and limb climbing on the balcony to take this. Lol. The struggle WAS indeed real. This was taken on a day when I felt comfortable in my skin. When I’d forgotten I was chubby and insecure about it :-) I pray to live in THAT reality! Emily is a fashion blogger now AND a model so I guess she won’t be taking risks like these for me now. Haha -still remember how bad my left leg cramped after posing that way.

Woke up one morning after crying my eyes out the night before. Think I’d had a pretty bad argument with someone (family). Had to go to work the next day and fill in for one of the day-time radio presenters. Truth is, radio is great. But there are days (like this one) when the last thing you want to do is be infront of anyone much less on air (which is like being in front of thousands of people). Lucky for me, I’ve got the kind of friends that tell me it’s okay to feel this way sometimes and encourage to keep going. I’ve still got puffy eyes in this photo but you know what else I see?…. Bomb sunlight and an epic selfie B-) Go Rae!!
