Budako ni mkonde na mshort hadi hana shadow.

Wewe ni m-ugly hadi ukipigwa snap inatoka tu negative.

Una kichwa ndogo hadi huwezi think twice.

DJ B wewe ni mjinga. Siku mathako aliona report form aliuliza,

“Boyie, hii ni namba yako ama balance ya school fees?”

Gari yenu ni ya kitambo. Dere hukalia, stool hao wengine kwa floor.

Wewe ni fala. Ukipotea tao unarudi nyuma ukiuliza watu “Ulinicheki hapa?”

Phone yako imezoea bamba 10 hadi ukiweka 100 ina-vibrate siku mzima.

Phone yako imezoea bamba 20 hadi ukiweka 50 inakurudishia change ya 30 bob.

Unakichwa bigi, ukifikiria tunasikia echo!

Kwenyu nyi wengi badala ya sofasets muko na viti za stadium.

hapo awali...

Najua mimi ni orphan, na nime-grow-ia ghetto, lakini siwezi stand story za corruption. Niko ready kwa any challenge!

Laana ilioje? Part 2 » Laana illioje? Part 2

19

Ah! Sasa hawa wananiharibia

biashara kila siku. Wacha niite soja

awaonyeshe!

Kama mnaweza kutusikiliza kidogo, tumekuja hapa ili

tujadiliane kuhusu hii shida ya pombe

inavyo-affect maisha yetu.

Ninawaelewa kabisa. Nilikuwa mlevi number 1. Mwenyewe nilikuwa jobless na sikuwa

najijali. Mwanzoni, pombe ilianifurahisha but nilivyoendelea…

Nikawa addict na mambo yakaharibika.

Lakini, nilipata usaidizi, na nikajirekebisha.

Kwa nini unatusumbua na haujui maisha yetu

vile ni ngumu?!

20

Na sasa ninawapa hii chance ya kupata

usaidizi. Ni ngumu, lakini lazima mjitokeze na

muamue kwanza.

Aki Daddy! Ulikuwanga hero

wangu. Siku hizi hata hauna job, haukuji home, unapiga tu Mum ukishalewa.

We! Aibu gani hii unabebana na

mtoto mpaka hapa kwa wanaume?!

Hata haujani-buy-ia

ile bike ulikuwa ume-promise.

Una-bore!!

21

Rubo! Ulikuwa chali mpoa sana, saa hizi ebu jiangalie: ume-lose

bizna yako, hauna ene!

Uamuzi ni wenu. Najua pombe ni

ngumu kuacha kama umezoea.Lakini niko

hapa kuwasaidia.

Ni mimi unapenda

ama ni

gej?

22

Bwana Chief, kumbe ulikuwa huku?

Na wewe unasaidiana

kuendeleza hii shida, eh?! Polisi mzima? Nitapeleka hii report mbele

immediately.

Na utakimbia

sana!

Wasee, Chief ako ready kuwa-support. Chekini vile

mnaji-waste.

Please, hii ni chance yako u-start a-fresh. Consider-ini

manze. Kuna hope.

23

Nilikuwa m-sharp primary, lakini nikaboeka na

shule by class 8. Sikuona haja ya kuenda seco.

Nili-club vi-excess na gej ndio zilikuwa zangu.

Nikiwa nimelewa, nilikuwa natumia pia drugs kadhaa, life yangu haikuwa inaenda poa. Sikuwa na future! Wazazi wangu ni wasee wa church na nilikuwa nawa-disappoint. Then waka-threaten kuni-disown…

BEFORE:

AFTER:Najijua, mimi ni msee ma-akili! Nilianza kufanya innovations kadhaa. Nime-make mechanical album, home-made computer, robots kadhaa na camera crane.

Pia naji-keep busy na ku-write plays za groups za mayuts

mtaani. I believe kuna siku nita-make it big!

NIKAFANYA UAMUZI HAPO HAPO! Niliachana na mabeste walikuwa nagej nao. Nikaanza kuji-keep busy na projects ndogo ndogo.

“Hakuna mtu kwa family yetu ame-date msee wa tribe different, na aliona nafanya kitu strange. But ameona Annette ni dem

mpoa na akam-like!”

“In my family, kuna intermarriages mob na tribes different around Kenya. So,

nime-grow nikijua all people are the same na other people have

much to offer. ANNETTE & JARED

Annette: 22 Kutoka: KakamegaJared: 23 Kutoka: Oyugis

“Ni politicians ndio huleta ma-differences

kati yetu, lakini, hakuna difference kati ya wasee.

Nime-learn so much from Annette, na sina

regrets!

UAMUZI NI YA WASEE WAWILI…

Ukiwa kwa relationship, cheki qualities za

personality, tribe si muhimu.”

“Nimekuwa na Annette since 2008, ni dem mpoa na tunaelewana sana. Nina

plans mob sana na yeye. Nilim-introduce home na at first na mother yangu hakufurahia coz Annette

ni wa tribe different.”

Kenya ni ONE!”
