I am now persuaded that the many street children we see every day are fathered by the so-called decent men we see in suits and ties

Everyone has at one point done something stupid and came back to senses feeling guilty, ashamed and even suicidal.

Transgender refers to people whose gender differs from their assigned sex at birth.

I was grabbed from behind by two women who covered my mouth and blindfolded me with a dirty piece of cloth.

Criminals don't change! You should have put that in your little head before committing yourself.

Don’t be too fast to judge me or to think that I forgive this man because I need financial support from him. Far from it!

After many attempts, I risked my marriage by secretly going to a witchdoctor who told me my daughters had been bewitched.

I feel like I no longer exist in their lives because they consult her about everything

I would greatly love to do a DNA test to verify if the child is really mine and take responsibility but my greatest challenge is how to explain this to my wife.

When I got home and I saw the familiar startled look when he saw the results, I panicked. My BRCA was at 4.7 which confirmed that it was definite the lumps were cancerous.

I felt devastated and lost; I wondered who I would share the sad news with. I went back to my hotel room and broke down. I pondered on how I would break the news to my husband

As a simple village girl I could only marvel at the luxurious apartment Agnes lived in. I fell in love with Mombasa the minute I set foot there. Agnes showed me places I had only read of in magazines. The beaches, the deluxe hotels and the historic buildings were all spectacles that left me open-mouthed. I imagined the places I would be visiting on weekends when I got the "clerical job."

I tried fruitlessly to behave like a girl by putting my legs together when I sat but I failed and gave up when I realised I was living a lie.

When Emmanuel Adipo, 32 married his first wife, he was all set for the proverbial happily-ever-after marriage. His wife was living in the village in Siaya County while he was working as a mason in Nairobi. The young couple had looked forward to raising a happy family. The two had visualised how they would have children and had even planned that he would relocate his family to Nairobi so that their children would grow up under the care of both parents.

Forgiving is a godly thing but wisdom should teach individuals that endangering their lives amounts to sin and can also be a criminal offense. The question on how long a spouse should stick to an abusive marriage or why relationships turn sour have been debated over the years with relationship experts cautioning that where an individual's life is endangered, separation should be inevitable.

I forgive you now, and if you repeat this mistake in future, I will still forgive you!” These words are so automatic for the many times I have spoken them to my now ex-husband. This is a man who has on countless episodes beaten and stripped me naked in public, has set his mistresses against me and would have once thrown me down from the third floor of our apartment if neighbours and onlookers hadn’t intervened. I am separated from him for over five years now but if he comes back today and asks for forgiveness, I would repeat the words without an iota of remorse.

Next year I will be starting a new life as a campus-girl again; I can’t wait to be back in class. I can never have children and my man-friend knows that. He has always encouraged me to study for myself and not for children. I don’t know if I am his mistress or his second wife because both titles suit me well. All I know is that he gives me the love my mother never knew how to give.

I don’t want a man who will pity me. I want a man who will fall in love with me regardless of my health challenges. Until that happens, I enjoy my life to the fullest and before I go to bed every night, I tell myself: “Well done girl, today has been a great day, tomorrow will even be better!”

While masturbation is indeed a personal affair, its impact is noxious and may expose the so-called privacy to the open world. That is why I have no remorse when I narrate the damage that the abuse of masturbation did me dealing my sex-life and masculine ego shattering blows that I am still nursing over 30 years later.

I have accepted my fate as transgender and what I would tell people is that this is a medical issue and it has nothing to do with an individual's sexual orientation. While there are many people who have had surgeries for sexual orientation purposes, there are others with cases like mine which are purely medical hence stigma and discrimination is uncalled for.

Sexual intimacy ensued and soon we were dating happily. For several months, we enjoyed protected sex until the night we

Would you marry someone if they told you they were living with HIV? To most people, the answer would be a “NO!” But this

Drug addiction is slavery. It is only the addicted individual who can get himself or herself out of it. Drug and alcohol

Would you marry someone if they told you they were living with HIV?

I saw tears welling in his eyes and I exclaimed within myself: "Bravo girl, it has worked!" I cried the more accusing him of immorality.
