Being Kyuk

Earlier this year,I read Amin  Maloouf's Identity.It's a very compelling and informative read.
He says one identifies with the identity that's most threatened.And that explains why I've
been feeling more Kikuyu than usual.
I needed to take a step back and remind myself that I'm also other persons-mother,
daughter,sister,friend,Christian,Kenyan,African,employer,employee,activist
and  this helped ground me.
To take off the Kikuyu coloured lenses.
I love being Kikuyu(don't know any different really)the language,culture(the little that's left of it),history
but I will not allow it to define me.
