Eazy Buda-Boss

Sometimes life catches up on you on a hard day when all you have to show for a day's effort is your fare back to Umoja. Sometimes life creeps up behind you, hits you on the balls, spits in your face and denies you the opportunity to buy breakfast for your kids. But that's ok and black tea is part of the menu in my native Likoni village. Black tea doesn't mean that you are getting poorer, it just means that you couldn't wrap up today's deals. It means that you were unable to close up the sale, your presentation skills were found wanting, your clothes couldn't add up to the image you were projecting and your game needs to be taken a notch higher. Sometimes ordering the chapati choma in the estate kiosk doesn't mean you haven't made it. It just means it's quarter-month and you are simply broke. Sometimes drinking the Keg on the boys bill doesn't mean that they are better than you. It only means they are more hungry, they woke up early, they closed up the deal and so they pay all the bills tonight. But it's all ok, we live in Umoja, still chase our dreams and that tomorrow is another day.
