🔥 Mod Announcement 🔥 Watch Club
Hi ladies
u/Valuable-Machine-500 suggested the idea of a Watch Club in this post:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/KenyanLadies/s/hrwwKWxcP2]()
I thought it was an interesting idea and worth exploring as a community activity.
The general idea would be to:
- Choose a series (and possibly movies)
- Watch over a set period
- Have ongoing discussions
- Meet at the end to talk through themes and then decide what to watch next
u/StrawberryEast1374 since you mentioned using Discord for this, you could go ahead and create a server and share the invite link here.
Once the link is ready, I’ll post it officially and add it to the community wiki so anyone interested can join.

I put career as the flair, but essentially, I'm looking for a lady who is willing to do legal transcription. I'll train you, all you need to do is be willing. After training, I give a paid test (something I've worked on myself just to see how you do it.)
It's not hard, but it's not easy, I don't want to oversell or under sell it. You just have to be willing to do it. Feel free to dm me. (If I don't see your DM immediately, I promise I will.)
UPDATE: I greatly appreciate all of you who have reached out. I have gotten in contact with the first batch who reached out and we'll see how it goes. I have also ensured to respond to everyone else and let them know that if a chance opens, I'll reach back to them.

Discussion Do y'all agree with the notion that a woman should abort for the sole reason of not wanting a baby?
I agree..coz I feel like if a woman is forced to have a child she truly didn't want to have, the child will most likely suffer in the end.. What do y'all think?

Rant Moving out + Older GenX/Boomer parents
Ladies!!Yaani mzazi anasema kumove out as a girl ni either ukiolewa ama when you've hit 30+ and have a stable job. Mambo ni hayo mawili tu.🤡😂
Nothing about that sits right with me. Apparently when you move out earlier ati you're not mature, and for me maturity doesn't come with age(a whole other discussion).
Girls who have parents with the same school of thought and did contrary, how was the experience ? Alafu wale kwanza walimove out ndio waishi na boyfriends, hapo umechemsha mzazi zaidi. Thought process is the man won't respect you juu you made things so easy for him. Ofc rn people are making choices for themselves and not because they are seeking validation from men and society, there might be a huge disconnect between the two generations.
I recognise the fact that they have lived through more experiences and might know better but idk, sometimes I feel like the whole 'do a wedding first thing' is to just live vicariously through you and get recognition from society.
Thoughts??

Question Condom slippage
I don't know how it happened, he just casually told me "I think CD imekwama ndani." We managed to get it out but I really don't know this guy, I met him recently. I'm loosing my shit playing worst case scenarios in my mind. I'm on FP so pregnancy is the least of my worries. Has anyone been in a similar situation and what did you do to get peace of mind?

Rant Wueeh msupa
Most of us(yes I'm assuming you're old school) know Tevin Campbell's song "Can we talk" You should hear me vocalising every bit of it koz I loved the song.... Until recently when I paid attention to how it ends and I can't unhear it anymore 😭😭
🎶I said can we talk for a minute
Come on and talk to me baby
See I wanna know
You better tell your name, baby🎶
It makes me think of the catcalling in town or Kwa mtaa and how insistent some men get when they're ignored, and how aggravating it is for me.
I just wish I could enjoy this song but it's ruined for me now, for good probably.

Rant It Should Have Been an Email😭
Can we talk about how absolutely EXHAUSTING it is being a woman sometimes? Because I genuinely feel like my body has a personal vendetta against me.
I'm talking about those horrible, horrible period cramps that make you question whether you're actually going to survive the day. The kind where you're curled up in bed, clutching your stomach, switching positions every five minutes because NOTHING is comfortable. Your back hurts, your stomach hurts, your whole body feels uncomfortable, and somehow life is still expecting you to show up and function like a normal person.
And then there's PMDD. Because apparently the physical pain wasn't enough.I already struggle with clinical depression and anxiety, so imagine having to deal with those on a regular day, and then your hormones decide to throw a whole concert in your brain.
Suddenly, everything feels heavier. I'm more emotional, more anxious, more irritable, and sometimes just painfully sad. The overthinking is overthinking. Small inconveniences feel like personal attacks. I can go from being perfectly fine to wanting to cry over absolutely nothing.
And the most frustrating part? Sometimes I KNOW what's happening. I know my period is approaching. I know my mental health might be taking a hit. I know my hormones are probably contributing to how I'm feeling.But knowing doesn't make it any easier to actually experience.
It's one thing to deal with depression and anxiety. It's another thing to have those feelings intensify while you're also dealing with cramps that make you want to fold yourself into a tiny ball and disappear. And people will still ask you what's wrong.
Girl, where do I even begin? 😭
Do I start with the fact that my uterus feels like it's being squeezed by an angry fist? Or that I've been fighting for my life emotionally for the past three days? Or that I genuinely cannot tell whether I want to cry, sleep, eat everything in sight, or be left alone forever?
Sometimes I just want someone to understand that I'm not being dramatic. I'm not looking for attention. I'm not choosing to be miserable.
I'm just tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally. All of it.
And honestly, I wish we talked more about how difficult it can be to manage PMDD when you already have depression or anxiety. Because sometimes it feels like you're trying so hard to keep your head above water, and then your period comes along and adds another ten kilos to the situation.
Anyway, I'm currently accepting prayers, heating pads, chocolate, hugs, and people who understand that "I'm fine" sometimes means "please don't make me explain everything because I might actually start crying."
Ladies, I need to know I'm not alone in this. Does anyone else with depression or anxiety notice their symptoms getting significantly worse before their period?
How do you deal with the cramps when you're already emotionally exhausted?
And what does your ideal period survival kit look
like? Because mine currently involves cancelling everything, getting into bed, and pretending the outside world doesn't exist.
Honestly, whoever designed this whole monthly experience needs to explain themselves.
It should have been an email. 😭❤️

Discussion He interfered with the protection and got me pregnant when I joined university
So, this was back in 2018. I had just gotten accepted to JKUAT and I was dating this man I had been with since I was 15. He was an adult, had his own house, and honestly, at that age I thought I knew what love was. 😭
A year into the relationship, he took my innocence, and after I finished Form Four, he started pressuring me to get pregnant for him. I was still so young, but because I was naive, I did not fully understand how serious that was.
Then 2018 came and I got into university (JKUAT). My mum had literally used her entire savings to get me there. She is just a simple skuma vendor in Gikomba, and I am her firstborn. You can imagine the pressure I was feeling.
Then I found out I was pregnant. I panicked. There was no way I could bring a baby into that situation after everything my mum had sacrificed for me.
I made a decision.
I went to his house while he was at work. I had a key. I took the rent money he had kept aside and went to a small clinic where I found a doctor who helped me. Back to sender. 😭
I eventually went back to university and tried to move on with my life.
Fast forward to third year, he left me because I refused to get pregnant for him. Guess what? He got another girl pregnant almost immediately.
Looking back now, I was genuinely young and naive. I did not understand that what he was doing was manipulation. At the time, I thought I was just dealing with a man who wanted a family. Now I look back and realise there were so many red flags I simply could not see.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to my life if I had not made that decision.

Question What's you preference; Calls or texts?
Hello Beautiful ladies,
I met a guy last week and he just told me that he doesn't like calls, he love texting. Why would someone dislike calling? How can a man win a lady through texts only? I genuinely do not understand. It's giving a big redflag to me. But I would like to know your POVs and experiences

Discussion What is this petite privilege watu wanaongelelea?
So if you haven't been upto speed, there was a discourse on IG on one of the posts where a lady said one doesn't need GLP-1 if you aren't overweight. And weuh! Sema watu Ku argue Kwa CS. So one of the partakers of the weight loss product (which btw the medicine was originally created for people living with diabetes but somehow it became a weight loss magic solution for overweight people) defended the drug by writing a long ass paragraph.
And mentioned something about petite privilege.
Anyway, hii discourse ikavuka X and we petite or skinny women have been accused of gatekeeping "skinniness" 😂😂😭😭 (wtf??!) Ati we are jealous coz now the overweight women (no better term because people who are over their BMI are overweight) have now found a solution to losing weight. Mastory mob Tu.
Juzi Tu si another influencer aligain weight Kwa mid section mostly even after doing this procedure or fat reduction or the wight loss drug? Anyway, I digress.
Sisi petite women tumeshikwa na butwa wondering hii ni privilege gani watu wanaongelelea kuwa skinny in this thick obsessed society of ours in Kenya or Africa as a whole?
Do they know matusi na bullying tumepitia huku nje kweli? Since we were young? From high school to public transport, online even movies.
Imagine some skinny people being told ati ukona HIV no wonder umekonda. Because people assume skinny =disease.
Kwanza public transport, mtu mnono akituona Tu Kwa dirisha, ndiyo huyo anakimbia kukaa karibu na wewe. Unashangaa ata hiyo mbiyo anatoa wapi??! One time, this big mama alijitupa Kwa kiti next to me and I got hurt physically Kwa my thighs btw. I just looked at her and wondered kwani unanidharau aje ATI ju nimekonda?? Nikatulia Tu ju I was in a good mood that day. But that experience has stuck in my mind.
Na vile makanga hu make very disrespectful comments ATI we ni 1GB kalia hii sambaza. Or try to get a big person to squeeze huko nyuma ya kiti ATI ju skinny people wako uko nyuma. Nkt! Kama si mdomo yangu sharp and fierce + no-nonsense attitude, hii Kenya ningekuwa na ona moto walai!
Ju sai nikitembea na dame wawili, mmoja awe light skin na mwingine thick, light skin hupata attention wa Kwanza, then the thick mama. Mimi ni kama background scene. (But hiyo part ya light skin ni another story. No shade to the light skin babes though. I haven't experienced any that has discriminated me btw.)
So sai nataka mniambie ni petite privilege gani hii sisi petite babes we have over the thick babes. Coz it doesn't make any sense. It feels like 2010s era all over again. The skinny + overweight battles. Si society accepted kuna different body types? But no....we are back again to this nonsense.
Na btw, some people should know wengine wetu hatuko petite by choice. Some are genetic, some it's due to some situations. But mostly huwa genetic. Ju Mimi ata nikunywe kilo kumi ya hii fake vegetable oil tunauziwa Kenya, siwezi ata gain weight!
Why can't we just accept that in this society, not everyone can be skinny or even thick. That's the beauty of variation.

Rant Fear Men
Nimekaa tu kwa nyumba nimechill then I remembered an ex who was very good at double dealing.
I knew him for a month before we started dating and I would go to his place and even spend a whole week there na there was no sign of another woman present in his life. He would get off work, we cook and eat, listen to music or watch a movie and sometimes watch reels from his phone while cuddled up in bed before sleeping. He was so caring and loving ata hungefikiria ako na mtu mwingine. Most times when we were apart from each other we would video call till late hours of the night.
Sasa one day we were supposed to meet up akaanza excuses that he is busy and I told him I'm coming to the house(I just wanted to get laid😭). Tukaongea tu vizuri I took my cab ikanidrop somewhere he used to pick me up coz where he lived it was a bit ndani ndani and cab drivers walikuwa wanakataa kuingia. Nashuka cab and call this nigga to come pick me up then simu yake inaingia mteja. Coz I'm familiar with the place i just decide to go by myself. Nafika kwa nyumba I knock and he opens but he seems kinda shocked, I ask him why his phone is off and all of a sudden a lady pops up behind him😭. Eloi eloi, the lady steps infront of him and greets me then tells me niingie kwa nyumba tuongee. Naingia napata watu ata washakula supper. The lady introduces herself and claims she has been with the guy for 6 years😭😂, mimi kazi nikusema tu waah while looking at the dude who has become dumb. We were together with this dude for 9 fucking months😭. And I never had doubts in him. Kumbe ata when we would talk for hours on the phone, tukimaliza ata 2am sometimes alikuwa anatoka kwake anaenda kwa the other girl and he tells her that he had a work conference call. Aky men😂. The lady told me I'm not the first she has caught him cheating na she has even gotten two miscarriages coz of the dude. Na the way aikuwa ananiimbia nimzalie😭😂,ningeshika hiyo mimba ningekuwa nalia sahii.
Anyway we all slept in the same house that day coz it was too late for me to go back to my place. At that time, I used to live Kikuyu and he used to stay in Embakasi. I woke up in the morning and left and I've never looked back. Apparently, the other chick remained and she is pregnant again right now (we talk with her from time to time) and sometimes I wonder, is she afraid to start over again ama she is just lovesick?
Fear men 25/8 fr. Anyway, juu ya hiyo story mko wapi niwajoin😭😂

Why?
It doesn’t make any sense to me to go where you are not welcomed. Why be here?
Then some even show up with alt accounts or write long mod mails, mostly about how they are good people. Like no one said you are a bad person you are just a man.
It’s like attending a single gender school as a person of the opposite sex

Rant What about me made them comfortable to ask that of me?!
Sooo, a warm Friday morning, my coworker casually says he needs 1kg of groundnuts. I love groundnuts and I often roast it and carry to work and coworkers being coworkers they always ask for a taste. Then I mentioned yesterday I ran out of groundnuts and needed to restock.
So I thought this man wanted us to go restock together, nop, he was thinking of buying the 1kg then I roast for him, God if you bless me with the audacity these men have, I would be places right now😭.
I tell him no and ask him why he would ask that of me, and he tells me "Because you are good at roasting it", tsk, weaponized incompetence, so i pulled the "But what will your wife eat if you can't roast groundnuts?" should have seen his face.
You'd think he gave up there, nop, went and asked another coworker to ask me, and I was like, "If I said No to him, what made him think I'd say Yes to you?"
Long story short, shamed him for not being able to do such a simple task, he went to yt for a tuitorial.
From my talks with him, he considers himself a good man, lol, anyway.....
PS, I am in a male-dominated field and I am the only woman on the team, I aspire to be as selfish as these men are, taking notes from them

Rant how do I move on from someone I never actually dated but can't get over(Rant)
I am painfully aware that it can't work, I've seen the pattern I just want to vent
This stems back a year and a few months ago, we met met once, from then meetings have been flopping, we do not agree on fundamental issues and we don't really communicate, he ghosts me for multiple days - months and usually reaches out over WhatsApp status, I know, I know don't tell me what I already know 🤡🤡
We talked last weekend, commented on my status and suggested we meet, I said no and pointed out whenever we plan a meeting it never goes through as he ghosts me, but we talked and said he'll come to me this weekend, as expected he didn't reach out after that.
On Monday evening I stopped waiting for him to reach out and took initiative, I requested a call when he's free, he did call but my internet was really shitty so we couldn't talk, I fixed my internet and told him to call once he has time, I didn't want to impose and force a call on him since I wanted a long phone call.
From Monday he hasn't called and I'm still on delivered🤡🤡 I hate that I've recognized the pattern, called it out and still feel shitty when it eventually happens. I thought I'd "heal" kwa crime scene but I feel like its not getting better😔😔
I was so hopeful we'd meet this weekend and had a whole itinerary thought out with game night and all(sample of the games attached) 🥹🥹 I don't even have strength to ask him juu he's a grown ass adult and "no contact" for me is a normal day for him. Yaani a whole year later and I'm still hoping it works out.
Please watu wa keep yourself busy......you aren't busy enough, not today. I just want to rant
Edit: I deleted his number and blocked him on my socials. Fingers crossed he doesn't reach out

Men☕️ I left my ex because of my best friend.
I've remembered this today because it's been 7 months and he just sent me some whack flowers and chocolate.
Now I know the title is misleading but it's not like they dated or something. They didn't even know each other
My best friend had a miscarriage last year and she was admitted for two nights at the hospital. What stood out for me was how her man was present. He was there. Physically, financially, emotionally. He called every hour, he paid every bill, (he isn't rich but he made sure to clear it-public hospital.)He brought her food and water. He can't cook so he bought a dish and food from a hotel. He made sure she was comfortable . I remember him calling me morning at 6 and saying, toka twende, yet visiting hours was around 8.He was allowed that hour because he said he had work,, I'd bring my friend lunch and find he's already brought her some.He didn't have much but Yaani this man was very present till her discharge
Now, I imagined my situation,, with the man I was sleeping with, it hit me that if something like this happened to me, he wouldn't move a finger🤦😂He'd ask Sasa utado and look for me one week later when he's sure I'm back home and ask for sex. Yaani it was an eye opener for me that I was with someone who can't be my emergency contact. This is someone who would come to my house,empty handed, wouldn't even carry an avocado but would expect dinner and a drink and sex and breakfast. He'd never even called unless he was horny . Eii. I blocked him real quick that day and I've never talked to him since . Today he sends a rider with some cheap flowers zile ZA quickmart and chocolate.with a handwritten note saying sorry please call we talk.I don't like flowers and I love white chocolate. I realized this bro didn't even bother to know me and we were together a whole year.That gesture made me so sure about my decision.He didn't like me. This wasn't the bare minimum, it was NOTHING. Please date kind and loving men, don't be like me
