Father, mental health advocate, and Adiction Recovery Coach in Nyeri, Kenya
At the core of my existence is the belief that I am a spiritual being having a human experience. I chose to adorn this glorious avatar and attend this life long seminar called being human.
A spiritual being experiencing life as a man of African descent and everything that comes with that, including the few thousand powerful descendants who paved the way for me to be exactly who I am.
In many ways I am a walking contradiction. I am flawed and broken and I wouldn’t change that about my past. Everything I have been through has made me the man I am today and I happen to be very proud of who I am…a work in progress.
In trying to numb the pain that came with my traumas I found myself deep in alcohol and cocaine addiction. As of 20th August 2022 I am 10 years clean. Another remarkable milestone in the many challenges I continue to overcome in the journey to discovering the highest version of myself.
Parenting this magnificent beings that chose me as their father continues to be the most rewarding and gratifying part of my journey. That all this pain I have been through somehow makes me a good parent is one of the great paradoxes of my life. I am so grateful to have chanced upon an opportunity to love someone more than I love myself and my selfish needs. Being a papa to my kids is without a doubt one of the reasons I came to have this human experience.
I am all about high vibration, continuous personal growth and self discovery. I am also extremely passionate about ‘My Tribe’ – individuals who are trying to get out of the same hell hole that I called home for so long. The disease of addiction is really an indication of some undealt with trauma. If I made it out just about anybody can, with the right amount of determination and the right roadmap. Helping others face and deal with their trauma and limiting beliefs is another reason why I am on the planet at this time. We are so much more than we realize.
Believe that you are worthy, lean into that pain that you are running away from and witness a limitless version of yourself emerge from within you.
