Perhaps you need to tell someone you’ve been dating that you don’t want to continue. Perhaps it is time to resign from a job or bring a partnership to an end. You know a conversation is needed, but beginning it feels difficult.

In the last edition of @tedxnairobi, Pren-Tsilya Boa-Guehe brought this very human hesitation into a conversation about #ArtificialIntelligence.

Sharing part of her post-divorce journey with humour and vulnerability, she invited us to consider using #AI to become more curious about ourselves and to rehearse difficult things, because personal vulnerability also requires tools.

Her reflection offers a starting point: give yourself space to understand what you feel, what you need to communicate, and how you might say it with honesty and care.

For our Women Today Show community, this opens a reflective question about courage: could preparing for a difficult conversation help us become more willing to have it?

Choose one conversation you’ve been postponing. What do you want the other person to understand? What are you willing to listen to?

Thank you, Pren-Tsilya Boa-Guehe, for sharing your story and inviting us to explore our own with curiosity❤️

What if dignity wasn’t just something we talked about, but something people experienced in every interaction? 💭

At TEDx Nairobi, Caroline Teti challenged us to rethink how we see poverty, trust, and the people we serve.

At GiveDirectly, putting people first means more than giving cash. It means listening, respecting choices, and designing programmes around people, not the other way around.

Because poverty should never take away a person’s dignity. ❤️

What does putting people first look like to you?

In her @tedxnairobi talk, @mcristinatorrado shared how pursuing a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu became entangled with how she saw herself.

Injury and recovery prompted her to rethink what winning meant.

She eventually found another way to stay connected to the sport she loved by teaching other #women...

Maria shares more of the story behind her talk in her article, “𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.” Read her reflections here:

For our Women Today Show community, her story opens an important conversation about ambition, identity, and the courage to adapt. We can keep pursuing our dreams while paying attention to whom we are becoming along the way.

Thank you, Maria Cristina Torrado, for sharing your story so openly. ❤️

Quick reflection question: What goal are you pursuing, and what would progress look like beyond the final achievement?

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬....

At the recent @tedxnairobi gathering, we encountered ideas that invited reflection on how we live, lead, and understand ourselves. The theme, “𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯,” opened up reflections about ambition, trust, mistakes, courage, and what we pass on to others... A special thank you to @kaylas_klicks , the Lead Storytelling Coach and Program Curator for this creative topic❤️

This week we will share reflections from women speakers whose messages stayed with us, offering our community opportunities to learn, find encouragement, and reflect on our own journeys.

Today we share an excerpt from @liliane_makole, Lead Organizer, whose featured words invite us to consider who we are beneath our titles, responsibilities, and the expectations we carry.

A moment to reflect: Beyond your roles and responsibilities, what makes you feel most like yourself?

We’d love to hear from you in the comments. 💬

✨ The journey to greatness begins with a vision of the future.

We were delighted to be part of TEDx Nairobi at SABIS International School Runda, a gathering centred on ideas, possibilities, and the future we are shaping together.

As the world continues to evolve, so must the way we think, create, and connect. Being part of this experience reminded us that greatness is not just about how far we go, but how we grow, the ideas we nurture, and the humanity we carry along the way.

At Karen Village, we believe creativity has the power to open minds, unlock potential, and inspire new ways of seeing the world. 🎨🌍

Here’s to bold ideas, meaningful conversations, and a future shaped by uniquely human possibilities!

A moment on stage, a story brought to life, and an audience reminded of what makes us uniquely human 🎭✨

What makes me uniquely human?

Perhaps, it is my ability to hope.

To look at a world that can be uncertain, complicated, and sometimes painfully heavy, and still believe that there are brighter days ahead.

At TEDx Nairobi, under the theme Uniquely Human, I had the privilege of performing Brighter Days by Sauti Sol and Soweto Gospel Choir. And somehow, the song felt bigger than just a song.

"Siku zikizidi, nazidi makinika zaidi.
I’m holding on a little bit longer."

Maybe that is what being human is.

To keep holding on. To keep choosing tomorrow. To sing about brighter days before you can see them. To carry hope even when it feels fragile.

That hope is one of the most human things we possess. That sometimes we sing about brighter days before we ever see them. That sometimes we have to believe in tomorrow simply because we refuse to give up on today.

Maybe we cease to be human when we cease to hope.

So, standing there, surrounded by incredible musicians, beautiful energy, and a room full of people, I found myself grateful. Grateful to sing. Grateful to feel. Grateful to be part of a moment that reminded me that hope can still bring us together.

Proud to have been part of this experience.
And even prouder to keep believing in brighter days.
