DO YOU ADD VALUE?

Hey Lovely People, This week my post will take a different angle but I hope the message will still get home. I have been looking for online writing jobs because I realized I had quite alot of free time on my hands. So you get work from an online writing account owner who pays you for every page you write based on the assignment at hand. One of my friends happens to own one and she gave me a test to see how well I could write the kind of assignments they are given. The first one she gave me had me out here looking stupid, hahaha! I was like...😂😂😂😂 Followed by👇👇👇 because I'm the Queen of uncomfortable/nervous laughs especially when I know I'm screwed. Thankfully  I figured it out and I was on to assignment 2 which was to write a 550 words speech on a topic of my choice. I decided to pick a topic that could easily mesh with my blog. Here goes nothing: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am more than humbled for the opportunity to address you all. Being

SELF EVALUATION: ANSWERING THE HARD QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING.

Wisdom Nugget Lovers! My Babies! Y'all have been missed dearly!!!! It's definitely been a hot minute since I wrote. I am sorry. But i'll explain myself and hopefully y'all will understand. A while ago I wrote a post on " What is your business founded on ?" (Click on the link if you haven't read it yet)  stating values and principles i'd love to guide me in my business once I start. Guess what? I finally got to it!!!!!! I started the business! (insert applause! hahaha)  and boy has it been tough! The business is called Dial-A-Veggie  (👈 Click to get directed to the web page) .

GENDER BASED VIOLENCE; STILL A HUGE THORN IN KENYA'S FLESH

Hey Wisdom Nugget Lovers, Gender based violence encompasses quite a few subtopics i.e  physical assault, verbal abuse, domestic conflicts, defilement, sexual assault and forced marriages. Violence against women and girls knows no race, age, class or culture. It has been happening since time immemorial, some based on stupid ideologies and cultural beliefs among other reasons. It occurs in homes, schools, places of work and entertainment just to name a few .  Domestic violence is defined as   "the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. it includes physical violence, physiological violence, and emotional abuse" Just last month we heard about the story of Lucy Njambi who is a victim of Domestic Violence based on her story. Her husband, former Kiambu MCA, who was in the company of unidentified men, picked

WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS FOUNDED ON?

Well hello there! The month with what seems like a 100 days is about to end. Can I get a Hallelujah up in here! Once you peep your bank account 😂😂😂 Lucky you! Those of us who are out here unemployed have a whole other story to tell. Due to ukame mfukoni pandemic, I have been trying to come up with business ideas ili umaskini isianze kunizoea. It hasn't been easy. But I stumbled upon an amazing video that just shed so much light on what values i'd want my business to have once I start. There is a series by the name Chef's Table . It talks about the lives of well renowned chefs around the world and their journey to where they are now in their careers. One of them happened to get my attention. It was about a lady by the name Niki Nakayama owner of n/naka based in LA. Having been brought up in a family where women aren't expected to reach high levels of achievement in their careers, she felt like she had a lot to prove to her family and the world at large. H
