Musings of a Taita Girl
Back with a bang! A triple bang! How about that?
Welcome to the new home of Musings of a Taita Girl, proudly hosted on a .co.ke domain—an identity close to my heart. This platform is a celebration of heritage, reflection, and random musings from the perspective of a Kenyan woman of the Taita people.
If you’re not familiar with the Taita community, here’s a fun fact: Taitas are among Kenya’s hidden gems, graceful and beautiful—just like the name suggests. My hope is to bring a piece of that radiance to your screen. So, come on in, take your seat, and join me in savoring these humble musings. Welcome back, friends!
About Me
Who Am I?
I am Clem—a Taita girl, a Kenyan girl. By nature, I’m a lifelong learner, greeting each morning as an opportunity to grow. For me, every new day is a gift to be unpacked, savored, and reflected upon. That process of learning, unlearning, and relearning is at the heart of every word you’ll find on this blog.
When I’m not immersed in writing, you might find me:
-
Working as a Building Services Engineer: poring over architectural drawings, conducting pre-contract surveys, or supervising site works.
-
Gardening, Reading, Dancing, or Hiking: indulging in the simple joys of life and staying active.
-
Riding My Bicycle: exploring new paths and rediscovering my neighborhood.
-
Being a Mum and a Grandmother: embracing the beautiful chaos of family life.
