Not so long ago (about one month actually), our country had the
pleasure of hosting one of the most influential people in the world, the POTUS.
President Barrack Obama’s visit nearly brought Kenya to a standstill. The last
time I had witnessed such rigorous cleaning and organization was while I was in
high school as we made arrangements for visiting days and PTA meetings. LOL,
story for another day.
President Obama’s eloquence, sense of humor,
counsel, value for women empowerment and great mastery of the subject matters
being discussed kept everyone keen and interested in everything he had to say.
His quotes and punchlines made for great status updates and tweets which were
liked, retweeted and shared for days to come. He commanded a following and an
audience, without a doubt and it is no wonder most of us had a sense of ‘What now? Who are we? We weren’t ready! What
next?’ after we saw his plane depart that Sunday evening.
