I yearn for my childhood Zim

By Naseemah Mohammed

As the pilot announces our descent to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, I cannot help but remember the last flight I took on this continent, or rather, out from this continent. That was five years ago, and now, while I know that Kenya isn’t Zimbabwe, I feel both nervous and excited to be coming back to Africa. Will Kenya be anything like Zimbabwe? With friendly faces, good food, a beautiful landscape and the invigorating smells of my childhood, like when raindrops hit the hot, dry earth?
