:Better living with Kobi Kihara

As I walk into the Louis Leakey auditorium at the National museum there is a lot of frenzied commotion as the team prepares for the lifestyle show that is about to go on air. In walks Kobi Kihara, she is not only more beautiful in person but she also has an air of charming charisma around her and one cant help but be taken by her presence. She is interactive ,fun ,stylish and approachable. She begins the show on a high note and as you watch her work you understand why she is the best person to host the show.

The show focuses on lifestyle issues such as health ,relationships ,money ,fashion and so much more.It tries to give everyone the expertise ,the

Wounds that break, bleed and scab

The women happily clapped and danced as they sang the traditional emuratta songs .They had been at it for about an hour while encircling the three girls standing on the doorway of one of the huts .The girls’ heads had been fully shaved the day before. The Oloibon and the elders had washed the girls' heads with fresh cow milk and spat on their forehead as a sign of blessings.The elder women had woken the girls up in the wee hours of the morning to adorn them with the traditional Maasai jewels and mark their heads with okra. Among the three girls was Taipei, the only daughter of the Oloibon .She stood seemingly indifferent to the frenzy going on around her. She held a piercing wise- beyond- her years gaze in her eyes .She was shivering not from the chilly morning wind but from the fear, anger and desperation she felt brewing deep inside her. She needed to escape and save herself but she had not been able to find a chance to run. Her every move was watched and scrutinised by her

According to Wikipedia, Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable to long periods of vigorous shaking. These episodes can result in physical injuries including occasionally broken bones and even death. This is a condition that has brought a lot of stigma to those afflicted.There is a lot of misinformation about epilepsy and so many people think it is a mental disease.Some think it is a demonic possession thing.People assume that if you have epilepsy your neurological abilities are slow or delayed.Others assume that having epilepsy means you are a violent person.

I must say I didn't handle it as well as I should have done.At first I was in denial because it is hard to believe that someone you actually love and who you actually thinks loves you can hit you over and over again. It is even harder when he blames his violence on you and I quote says"you asked for it". I should have reported him and I tried but his a member of the law community and therefore knows how to get away with it.He knew exactly how to lie and twist things to make it look like it was my fault. I guess I felt completely helpless and broken at the moment . I actually even tried to get him fired(not my greatest moment and I know now that was wrong) because don't be fooled their is no Justice for a lady when the police officers are his friends. Anyway back to the topic ,at first it is the shock and disbelief that this is hap
