Just like any other young lady hustling in Nairobi, purity met her husband and agreed to settle down with him and build a family. 3 years later, the man she loved deeply became violent and she had no choice than to go back home πŸ’”. The ex husband was in denial and forcefully visited Purity, in her parents home without her consent only to chop her both hands and stab her 34 times in the head and face.
To make it worse, Purity lost her only son a year later after the incident. It's now 4 years and even though she accepted her situation, purity is still traumatised and scared of men.
According to statistics, 40% of kenyan women aged between 15-49 experience GBV and femicide. The numbers are increasing since 2020 and it's a crisis already.

Most women don't even know they are depressed after giving birth. Postnatal depression can start anytime in the first year after giving birth.
Signs that you or someone you know might be depressed include:

● A persistent feeling of sadness and low mood.
● lack of enjoyment and loss of interest in the wider world.
● lack of energy and feeling tired all the time.
● Trouble sleeping at night and feeling sleepy during the day.
● Finding it difficult to look after yourself and your baby.
● Withdrawing from contact with other people.
● Problems concentrating and making decisions.
● Frightening thoughts-e.g about hurting your baby.


Postnatal depression can be lonely, distressing, and frightening, but support and effective treatments are available. Reach to Unmask Community and start your journey in healing.

A man who works in Kenya Power mlolongo has committed self-immolation( set himself on fire until he died). This man was a senior, well respected and always jovial. The only time I encountered him, he was drunk but very calm. Right now there is an uproar and everyone is wondering why would someone commit su***de and yet he had a good job and well respected.
Mental health! This is something we know is eating us like cancer but the society is not ready to create awareness and normalise the conversations. Majority think that mental health affects the poor but the truth is anyone can be affected! Our men go through hell silently because of the programming(A man should be strong always). Another reason is the stigma, especially when someone speak out or is diagnosed with an illness "huyu ni mwendawazimu" is all you hear. SAD!
On 21st December, I will be hosting a free workshop,mental health and men, to equip knowledge and tips on mental health,how to identify someone on crisis and help them and self care. Men do cry too, and it's okay to be weak sometimes.
Kindly note, the workshop on 21st December is for MEN ONLY!
We shall organise for women in the year 2025.
To attend the workshop, kindly send an email to unmaskcommunity@gmail.com. Venue: 67 airport hotel along Mombasa Road. More details will be shared ***de

"Suicidal feelings are not the same as giving up on life. Suicidal feelings often express a powerful and overwhelming need for a different life. Suicidal feelings can mean, in a desperate and unyielding way, a demand for something new. Listen to someone who is suicidal and you often hear a need for change so important, so indispensable, that they would rather die than go on living without the change. And when the person feels
powerless to make that change happen, they become suicidal.
Help comes when the person identifies the change they want and starts to believe it can actually happen. Whether it is overcoming an impossible family situation, making a career or study change, standing up to an oppressor, gaining relief from chronic physical pain, igniting creative inspiration, feeling less alone, or beginning to value their self worth, at the root of suicidal feelings is often powerlessness to change your life - not giving up on life itself." -Will Hall, Living with suicidal feelings
