Stripped Off

After writing on grief after Separation/divorce, one of my favorite brothers got worried and called to check if am OK and then he asks “why do you write like that..?” 🤔… I shared raw grief because when interacting with victims & survivors of domestic violence, I still hear a lot of pain attached to the […]

I just thought about grief after divorce/separation today. Two days ago, I asked my friend to talk to some people on my behalf because I just didn’t feel like talking. Later in the evening I whispered in her inbox  “I dug out files sent to my ex-husband and am so sad and angry, I can’t […]

My name is Emily Omondi. A member of the body of Christ. A woman who went through abuse and has been creating awareness on matters domestic violence by sharing my experiences and lessons learnt. As I write this am a submitted representative of the church. I have been reading different rants/opinions/ advice/ mockeries…..and all that has […]

I have been skirting around this subject; “counseling the couple who’ve gone through abuse” To a huge extent it scares me but again is there comfort in caressing fear?

I have been thinking how Christians who have gone through domestic violence are handling their children’s spiritual lives🤔. Are we still able to sell our God to them? I am not a very patient mother but my daughter has given me no option. So I have had to enjoy engaging them in devotions. Like talking […]

Let’s continue with Kananu episodes. Isn’t it a struggle to write this! Sometimes when we lack identity and security we specialize in our areas of expertise to give us a boost and a name in different kinds of relationships we engage in. We become servants in all the spaces we show up on, to our […]

                     As we look forward to the success of #lowerfoodprices, My crazy friend Kananu dares me to write on how the abused becomes very toxic and abusive in their other relationships.  I know she thinks this is a piece of cake for me but am stammering all through.  How do you even share how abusive […]
