Uhuru, Obama pointed the direction we should take

That Kenya has been at the peak of its moments of glory cannot be disputed. Apart from the sterling performances in the traditional sports arena, we welcomed home two key diaspora children of the soil — Oscar Award winner, Lupita Nyong’o and the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Lupita returned home a few weeks back after a sterling performance in the film industry where she continues to shine.

Her life is an incarnation of her message: Every dream is valid. Likewise, Obama’s rise to the most powerful office in the world has shown that, no matter the circumstance of one’s birth, God’s favour, a clear purpose, and dogged hope can work in concert to propel one beyond their imagination.
