Kenya Print Media

Protestant missionaries came to Kenya and taught new converts how to read and write so that they could read the bible for themselves. After learning how to read and write, they took it further and published things for themselves such as newspapers and magazines. Even today the church is still involved in some magazine publishing in Kenya.

First newspaper in Kenya refugee camp

Youth from Kenya's refugee camp came together and started a newspaper. There is very little technology in this area of Africa and the idea of the first newspaper created and sold by the youth is an exciting.

To vlog or not to vlog ...

It's crazy to think that when you vlog you are taking to yourself, but at the same time talking to other people. You can't see their facial expressions so you can't tell how you are "suppose to talk". You are being completely yourself and indulging in your character when no one else is around to watch. Then you replay the footage and want to edit most of it because you feel like an idiot for saying some of the things you said. But in years past, when you are looking back at this you can have an idea of the person you were. You are looking at yourself the way others around you look at you.
