✨ Letter to My Younger Self: A Journey of Dreams and Resilience.

BOND

Dear Younger Me,

If only you could see where we are now. You wouldn’t believe it. You’re probably sitting somewhere in Thika, staring at the sky, wondering if life will ever make sense. Spoiler alert — it doesn’t always, but trust me, every moment, every struggle, and every dream you’ve ever had is shaping you into someone you’ll be proud of.

I know things feel heavy right now. You’re searching for meaning, juggling responsibilities, and carrying the weight of dreams that feel too big for where you’re standing. But here’s the thing: you’re stronger than you know. One day, you’ll look back and realize that even in the chaos, you were building something extraordinary.

Remember those nights you stayed up, dreaming about a better life? Those weren’t just dreams. They were plans in disguise. You’ll chase them — all the way to the UK, where you’ll take bold steps as a caregiver, knowing it’s more than a job. It’s a stepping stone to something bigger. You’ll learn that purpose isn’t always found in the destination but in the courage to take the first step.

You’ll build things, BOND. Big things. A music label. A scriptwriting company. Even a school, LA’BOND CREST ACADEMY — a place where kids will dream just as big as you did. Your creativity will flourish, and your music will give a voice to stories the world needs to hear.

And family? You’ll fight for them. You’ll work hard to build them a home, giving back in ways that will make your heart feel full. You’ll be there for Gianna, showing her that no matter where life takes you, love remains constant.

Not every chapter will be easy. Hearts will break. Plans will delay. But you’ll rise every time. Your past doesn’t define you — your persistence does. Even when you feel like giving up, you’ll push forward, fueled by a vision so clear it lights up the darkest nights.

If there’s one thing I want you to remember, it’s this: You are the author of your own story. Don’t let fear hold the pen. Dream recklessly. Love deeply. Hustle endlessly. The road is long, but every step — even the hard ones — is worth it.

Keep going, BOND. Your future is waiting, and trust me… it’s brighter than you can imagine.

With love and pride,
Your Future Self.

💔 A Father's Pain: Losing a Child at 20 and Finding Strength Through Struggle.

Have You Ever Lost a Child? Well… that happened to me at 20 years old. But before I get to that, let me take you back. Back to where it all began — in 2016, fresh out of Form Four. I had dreams, big ones. I even got into college, but life had other plans. Financial struggles hit hard, forcing me to drop out. That’s when reality slapped me in the face. In 2017, I landed a low-paying job. How low? I earned 1,000 KSH a month — barely enough to survive. Still, I was determined to carve my own path, so I moved out of my parents’ house and rented a single room. My own space. My little corner of independence. But it didn’t last long. By 2018, I couldn’t keep up with rent and had to go back home, defeated. I stayed there for four months, plotting my next move. Then came the bedsitter — 5,000 KSH a month. It felt like an upgrade, like a fresh start. Life had a way of throwing curveballs, though. That same year, I met Marly. She was 19. I was 20. Young, reckless, and in love — or...

✨ Building the Future While Staying Present: My Journey of Dreams and Growth 🌱

There’s a certain magic in dreaming. Dreams pull us forward, giving us purpose and hope. But what happens when those dreams feel just out of reach? When the wait gets long, and the road ahead seems uncertain? I’ve learned that the secret lies not just in chasing the future but in embracing the present — one moment at a time. Growing up in Thika, Kenya, I always felt a pull toward something greater. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but over time, the pieces of my vision started to come together. I dreamed of building a school back home, LA’BOND CREST ACADEMY, where kids could learn and grow in an environment filled with opportunity. I dreamed of creating a music label, LA’BOND DYNASTY, where artists like me could have a voice. And most importantly, I dreamed of providing a better life for my daughter, Gianna, and showing her that no dream is too big. But dreams take time. And in that time, life happens. When I applied for a caregiving job in the UK through AAHM Group, ...
