Quote by Enock Maregesi

“Kwa nini mtoto mchanga anapokuwa ananyonya ziwa la mama yake, mara nyingi humwangalia mama yake machoni? Kwa sababu, licha ya macho kuonekana kitu cha ajabu kwake, mtoto mchanga, bila kujitambua, hutamani sana mama yake amwambie neno zuri atakalolitumia baadaye katika maisha yake atakapokuwa mkubwa. Maneno huumba. Ukimwambia mwanao kuwa anaonekana atakuwa jambazi, anaweza kuwa jambazi kweli atakapokuwa mkubwa; ukimwambia kuwa anaonekana atakuwa mwanasheria, anaweza kuwa mwanasheria kweli atakapokuwa mkubwa.”

“There’s a direct association between machismo and the refusal to recognize and respond appropriately to the climate catastrophe. It’s a result of versions of masculinity in which selfishness and indifference – individualism taken to its extremes – are defining characteristics, and therefore caring and acting for the collective good is their antithesis.”

“When boys called our names, we said 'Don't even say my name. Don't even put it in your mouth.' When they said, 'You ugly anyway,' we knew they were lying. When they hollered, 'Conceited!' we said, 'No- convinced!' We watched them dip-walk away, too young to know how to respond. The four of us together wasn't something they understood. They understood girls alone, folding their arms across their breasts, praying for invisibility.”
