What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes, 1951

A high-rise building in Eastleigh, Nairobi came down in ~5 seconds.
I reconstructed the collapse from eye witness video using computer vision, physics +AI, a digital twin model and Bayesian networks to establish the preliminary cause of collapse.

I find it funny that people underlook VU degrees and masters yet we share the same pool of lecturers. Most universities in Kla share lecturers😂😂😂😂

Who's in the dark when the power goes off?
In 18 months of UEDCL planned shutdowns, notices named:
Hospitals & clinics: 222 times
Water pumps: 183 times
Factories: 505 times
Markets, malls, hotels: 416 times
And that only counts the ones they named.

Does rain cause power cuts?
Every unplanned UEDCL fault, placed on a 24-hour clock shows that 60% of them came within 6 hours of rain, against 28% of all hours.
After rain, a fault is ~2.2x more likely.

I always considered myself a well-rounded person. Then I got a PhD and became an expert on a topic that only 7 people understand. Four of them think I’m an idiot.

Kampala from space: January 2017 to June 2026.
Sentinel-2 picks up ~18 km² of new building in the city core alone (cyan).
Then the yellow rings: 484 places in this frame named in planned-shutdown notices.
The grid is chasing the city...

The passport you hold really determines the level of humiliation you must endure to see the world. Sickening.

Individual hustle won't save us as things tighten in this lovely country—collective resilience may.
Build your mutual aid, shared living, or savings group today.
Remember:
You have to get comfortable with the inconvenience of community long before you need its protection.

3 years without my dad. Most days it feels like yesterday.
This summer, I turned my grief and love into words: In My Father's Eyes, a daughter's memoir of independence, legacy, and the search for enough.
🤍 Coming spring 2027 🤍
