They refused to stay down after life served them the wrong dish

With both mainstream and social media dedicating all their ink to the intricacies of the coming elections, I have opted to keep this column away from political discourse until the elections, unless some momentous development demands a commentary.

In that spirit, this week’s column shares the stories of three uncelebrated Kenyans who have impressed me with their resilience and determination against difficult odds. They define the spirit that will make Kenya thrive, whether the coveted political trophy goes to the Kenya Kwanza or Azimio Alliance on August 9.
