To date, I never know what to say when asked what do you do? - in that layman-anthropological way that Kenyans do for purposes of placing one another socially and economically. To make things easier, I sometimes say computer things; an answer that allows the person asking to imagine that I do something serious with computers, say programming important apps that will save Africa. Kenya is a strange place to be weird. Weirdness is discouraged by our education system, Christian-guilt, and the money-above-all philosophy that seems to guide our priorities as Kenyans. Its not cool to be outside the mainstream, its not cool to have different opinions or read books that are not self-help guides to get rich, or The Secret -Jim Chuchu #Jimchuchu #WORD Stuff by Jim Chuchu
