From Nairobi to Caserta: Stories That Travel Beyond Borders

In Nairobi, the streets hum with voices — some loud, some silent, all carrying dreams. It was here that my journey as a storyteller began, with questions that reached beyond the ordinary. Questions of existence, of faith, of what it means to be alive even before birth. Those questions became my latest book, I Was Here Before I Was Born: Son of the Priest, now available at the Kenya National Library Service (KNLS), Nuria Bookstore, and on Amazon.

This book is not just a narrative; it is a meditation. It asks readers to pause and consider the unseen threads that shape destiny. It blends spirituality and philosophy, inviting anyone who has ever wondered about the mysteries of life to step into its pages.

But my journey did not stop there. Stories have a way of multiplying, of reaching out to other voices across the world. That is how Street Stories: Three True Tales of Dreams, Sacrifice, and Redemption was born — a collaboration with Italian journalist Elda Cicala. Together, we captured the raw courage of Nairobi’s streets, where sacrifice and redemption are not abstract ideas but lived realities.

Elda brought her lens from Caserta, Italy, and together we shaped narratives that resonate across continents. The book was translated into Italian, making it accessible to readers in Europe. The Italian edition is available on Amazon, and Elda continues to share its vision with her community in Caserta. Read more about the Italian release here.

What ties these works together is a belief: that stories are bridges. I Was Here Before I Was Born explores the bridge between existence and spirit. Street Stories builds a bridge between Nairobi and Italy, between lived struggle and shared humanity.

Technology, too, plays its part. Through MushilaWrites.com, YouTube narrations, and digital publishing platforms, these stories travel faster and further than ever before. ICT is not just my profession — it is the vessel that carries African voices into global conversations.

And so, from Nairobi’s streets to Caserta’s piazzas, from KNLS shelves to Amazon’s digital marketplace, the journey continues. Each book is an invitation: to reflect, to connect, to believe in the power of words.

Because stories, once told, never stay still. They travel. They transform. They redeem.
