• EP 69: You Can't Beat a Disability Out of a Child, Even If It's Invisible

  In this episode, I sit down with Linda Gakuru, a neurodivergent parent raising neurodivergent children, to explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating parenting and neurodiversity in Africa. Linda shares her journey of accepting her diagnosis, how it helped her understand herself and her children, and why early diagnosis is so critical. We also dive into the misconceptions surrounding neurodivergence in African cultures, including the harmful belief that it stems from indiscipline. Linda’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of advocacy, understanding, and creating a supportive environment for neurodivergent individuals.

• Polio Vaccine Controversy in Kenya | Raising Tiny Humans 01

  In this debut episode of Raising Tiny Humans, a new mini-series from Mama Tales, we explore the growing controversy surrounding the recent polio vaccine campaign in Kenya. With reports of adverse reactions and increasing mistrust in government initiatives, many parents are questioning the safety and necessity of vaccinations. I share my personal experiences as a mother navigating vaccine decisions, reflect on Kenya’s history of polio eradication efforts, and unpack the layers of mistrust that have shaped public perceptions of government-led health campaigns. This episode isn’t just about vaccines—it’s about the deeper challenges of parenting in a society grappling with fear, misinformation, and systemic distrust.
