We need a better place to call home

I talk about why Nigerians might think they dislike matcha, and how it’s really about the ex*****on rather than the product itself. I share my first matcha experience in Nairobi and explain why matcha is so sensitive to how it’s prepared. I give tips for first-time matcha drinkers, recommending heavily flavored options like blueberry matcha instead of plain versions, and encourage people to give matcha another chance at a different café.

I talk about why people don’t return to restaurants even when the food and service are good. I share my personal experience of visiting a restaurant where I felt uncomfortable in the chair, and how this small detail made me decide never to go back. I explain that restaurant owners often overlook the importance of comfortable seating, especially for taller customers, and how this single factor can cause them to lose customers. I emphasize that checking and improving your restaurant’s chairs could be the key to keeping customers coming back.

I take you on a premium train ride from Mombasa to Nairobi after spending Easter snorkeling and exploring Wasini Island. We explore what makes this first-class train experience special—from the exclusive check-in and business lounge access to the comfortable seating, stunning wildlife views, and breathtaking landscapes. I share insights on how Kenya’s tourism industry transforms simple transportation into a premium experience worth paying for, and discuss how businesses can create value by thinking beyond their core product and focusing on the overall experience.

We discuss the major shift happening in the hospitality industry that most people don’t realize. We talk about how people are now spending money more carefully, even when they have it, and how this changes everything for restaurants. We explore how globally, restaurants are responding by serving bigger portions for the same price and focusing on value. We highlight that in this new economic climate, forgiveness is low, bad experiences won’t be tolerated, and restaurants must deliver on their promises consistently. We explain why many restaurants in Lagos are currently struggling and closing, and emphasize the importance of understanding what keeps businesses alive during different economic conditions.

We explore the highly anticipated reopening of .lagos by , the restaurant by Nigeria’s most celebrated chef. We talk about the beautifully designed space that feels like stepping into a refined grandmother’s home, and we dive into an incredible culinary experience featuring signature dishes like dambunama rolls, goat meat with jasmine rice and ayamase, fresh salads, and an unforgettable dessert. This is elevated Nigerian cuisine at its finest.

I visited .co for my first Pilates experience and oh boy!!! It was definitely interesting. I want to try reformer Pilates before I conclude which works for me.

20/04/2026

I talk about how my approach to food and wellness is evolving as I turn I share how my metabolism has changed, making weight loss slower than before, and how working out with women in their 50s has taught me that fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. I discuss how I’m now viewing wellness holistically and how my Masters in Law, focusing on food policies, will shape the way I talk about food going forward from a more professional perspective, I still remain a food creator.
