You’re Invited!

We warmly welcome you to a special panel discussion and launch of the I AM SORRY Series

Theme: I Am Sorry, But Should I Be? – Real Stories

Too often, many of us carry silent burdens—parentification, black tax, and unspoken family responsibilities. This space is for us to reflect, share, and ask: Are we sorry for living our truth, or are we finally learning to release what was never ours to carry?

With: Kinya N. Gitonga
Date: Saturday, 06th September 2025
Time: 1:00pm – 5:00pm
Venue: Alliance Française, Multimedia Library

Kindly RSVP here to confirm your attendance:

In ushago, we’re used to saying “Hii mwili yangu iko sawa” until one day, it isn’t.

At our village wellness check, people came to test their sugars and blood pressure. Many were surprised the results didn’t match how they felt. Some were high, some were borderline. The truth is, in the countryside we work hard, we eat fresh, but silent conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure don’t always show on the outside.

A quick test can tell you what your body isn’t saying out loud. It’s a small step that can save you big troubles later.

In ushago or in town, knowing your numbers is knowing your health. Prevention begins with a simple test.

Growing up, I saw mental health struggles all around me — in homes, in schools, in the marketplace. But back then, no one really knew what to call it or how to deal with it. We saw people carrying heavy emotional burdens, families torn apart by unspoken pain, and bright futures dimmed by silent suffering. It was often dismissed as “just life” or “a phase,” yet deep inside, I knew it was something we needed to talk about.

That’s why I love mental health work at the grassroots level. It’s where real change begins — in our villages, our churches, our community gatherings. It’s where we can meet people where they are, speak in languages they understand, and walk together toward healing.

This weekend, we’re bringing that conversation home. Join us at AIPCA Maigene Church, Mikumbune, Meru for a day dedicated to wellness of both body and mind. Come learn about mental health, get your sugars and cancer checked, and take a step toward a healthier, stronger you.

Brought to you with love by Kinya N. Gitonga and Sound Mental Health — because your mind matters, your health matters, and you matter.

Many people walk around with unprocessed trauma from childhood neglect, emotional abuse, loss, accidents, or violence. You don’t have to be a war survivor to be traumatized.
Stop calling it “just stress.” Call it what it is and get help.

Trauma is not always about what happened. It’s also about what didn’t happen, like not being comforted when you were scared or not being heard when you cried out for help.

Trauma can live in the body and mind for years, silently shaping your reactions, relationships, and even your physical health.

Trauma can show up as

People-pleasing or avoiding conflict

Emotional shutdown or rage outbursts

Constant fear of abandonment

Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

Chronic pain or digestive issues with no clear cause

Feeling "stuck" or disconnected from life

Substance abuse, overeating, or risky behavior

Trauma is not weakness. It is an injury to the nervous system.

Healing is possible through

• Therapy (CBT, EMDR, somatic work, etc.)
• Safe relationships
• Grounding techniques
• Journaling and self-compassion
• Trauma-informed care

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Good morning. And remember, healing is not linear. But it’s worth it.
