The time Kenyan men and women get off the shackles of colorism Maybe then they will be able to see clearly that a shake up does not make u white or near white when are u gonna leave white and their white skin alone.

[@reinhardotieno5549]

@@KasmuelMcOure Spot on! Thank you.

[@abusad123]

I disagree. As a person who went to a local high school in Northern Kenya. I barely speak a few words without anyone noticing my tribe due to my heavy accent. I started a small business where I have employed people from such great national schools. At times, life is all written.

[@fk8395]

As an Alliance alumnus I'll tell you this, everything you get in life is through your own sweat! We worked hard to get into Alliance and Alliance didn't make high school easier. We worked hard and that hardwork continued after that! Alliance never gave me any connections, most of us made our own connections. Personally I just gave academics my all because that's the only thing I knew would get my feet on the door. It would do the talking before I opened my mouth. And yes grades is not everything but if you don't have a godfather somewhere you might as well use your brain as the key to opening some of those doors. And not all Alliance alumni become doctors and engineers as you can see Kasmuel is a music educator and he's making the best of it. He's good in his craft and has mastered eloquence and has a pleasant demeanour which definitely sets him apart from the crowd. My parting shot: In highschool we used to say ' Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Be the best in what you do and people will seek your services. That's how you create success for yourself! Nothing happens by chance. Those who seem so good at something they usually have put in a lot of effort. You want to be eloquent, pick up a book and cultivate a reading culture. Want to be a great chef, tailor, programmer, artist, sales man, business person etc get the knowledge and practice your craft relentlessly. All the best!

[@fk8395]

​​@@abusad123 I don't know what community you come from exactly but if you have a North eastern accent then trust and believe people will just think you are Somali. These people are some of the best business men that ever lived! Nothing is written, You write it yourself in your own handwriting! And plus you are an employer! You should be proud of yourself. It means you are doing something right. Keep up!
