I am 21 that time how old were you? I was 20 I am born in 2000 so in every year it is able to predict my age I am 20 I am 21 I was born in different media companies but I was like I am an employee I used to work for 3 years how old were you then? 3 years I used to go to school so I used to come that time I left home I remember that September I used to go to Rudi so I used to go to school I used to go to Rudi so I used to bring an exam I used to go to Rudi I was not working so I used to talk to a friend almost the same area and I used to travel so I used to talk to her and I used to come I used to go to school so I used to go to work and I used to go there and I used to go to a machine for 2 weeks then I used to go to Rata and I used to go to work kiki tu na leta kwa medzana kwa muna, share cost, zabitu So I felt like I'm becoming a burden So I came to Trevor Eh, me ni mwa kwa ni kitafuta job But you know, in ita miwa COVID actually wata na fuga job, siku fungo wana fuga wana futa na kazi wata futi employees So this is the hardest time I think me, me the only thing he can do just to go back home Nguni kwa jetu tu na life Ita nipelaka which direction You know home, home is nice Obiasili uta pata food uta pata place tiakulala So the basic needs were easy costs Exactly, ato kiki kwa kwa kwa kwa kutukama credit and it's not a necessity So I kwa fika apu kana miwa ano I have an idea, mi na na fukiria we can start doing kama zawitia idea kama about YouTube, ok mi editize state kama we can try at least mi edintu want actually money kama we can try as I stay at your place Tia yo bado akona ila kaziya voluntari Ah, yutem tu salu kompetaka job lukumpeta job place lukuna liupo 20,000 So niko mombia it's ok we can try At least, niku kwa kwa occupied temo menda job, mi ziti kwa nge tu hidi At least tu nipata kichuna zado but then I didn't have I didn't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to YouTube but idea idea ya do it never came into my mind mi nili ona this an opportunity at least you are not you are occupied Like mi nimi mitu kia kuka Exactly and then I was battling ulcers at that point So niko motili, this is a nice idea ocha mi nifanya, nge naja niki toki aivi niki o nga naatu, nita feel uta tata kufikiria, uta feel so sa uko too sour So we started, but took us to post video alia nga event Bado si zia nza kufanya video a kind of gigaton festival So I told a guy kwa mi pigu aka deidi So he came and told me to try to voice because in the studio that he was working in walu kwa na fanya the same thing So I tried and do a voice over on this Like I'm doing update because by then updates is because na fanya walu kwa tu kama biti Black TV walu kwa na transpire So mi I tried but nika feel it's not your thing it's not my thing but the following date kwa na okay let's try something else ii ni kama inakule mi asana let's try something else maybe a conversation, since mi mi I've always been as someone who can talk I can create a conversation na jok na eliktenya, they cannot converse we can talk comparing to when I'm alone So we started So you a day you can remember Shakila was trending but Higenja also was trending so we will go to the streets to interview her what do you think about the story it was a household when they see the camera they go away when I was first of all when I was exactly you know like now like now it is because I was smoking it's something that it's something that Higenja online media remember as it is right now when I remember she said we don't want to be seen so we used to in the first video we went to Asubui we got shot we saw each other we saw each other we gave up we saw each other we saw each other you know what I can take you to I can take you somewhere called Gota City we had a conversation with some guys we grew up with Higenja they can give you more details about that group so I went and to God be the girl that was the breakthrough video and it was actually the second video actually it was the first video I used to see that even though it happened we started we got to a kakubali people really embraced what I was doing that was the first interview we reached out we made videos we went to Dandora we saw each other before we went to YouTube we saw each other we saw each other we saw each other it was not easy after we did the first video it was a breakthrough video we saw each other monetized in one day you guys got monetized in one day in one day you guys had a struggle we had a struggle we saw each other we got together there are people who say they still have a non-line media but I don't know I'm not sure about it I'm not sure we had a contract and we were interested in the conflict We tried negotiating with a partner, he gave me contentcargo video He updated me about what he wanted, I understand he was kind of young I'm just going to find interviews and come to know what he was doing They said that if you want them to pay him he will delete videos and channels kwa kwa kwa wacha na nao? kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa wacha na nao? So, we had a camera, kwa hammeri kwa na kamera, kwa he was in campus kwa he was doing journalism and mass communication and he was also a photographer. So we decided to sell the camera. Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa rent. Diamani. So na jatuna rent, so he sold it. Actually it still hurts until today kwa kamera liwa kwa ni kwa maya over 75,000 and we used that 25,000. So we had to do it, we sold it, took a manage, took a lepa rent, then from Apple, by the way, when it came out, YouTube after like 4 months, jupia elko niti mene COVID ilko mene shika. So YouTube ko ena tuma, it's a pin, it's a mambuna COVID nani nani, it comes from U.S. So imagine atu kwa, atu kwa e kwa sa food, atu kwa e kwa sa rent. God the lepa to na kamzu too.  Steps, very true. So kuna zile steps zaza, zile videos nini, luka nimi anza anaza. Then sasa ika fika yo time, nika adisivakul, okay, before tatae patae call, ika nimi wana kuna album launch ya bahati, I tried making efforts, nika try kudiem bahati, nika try kudiem bahati. Anyone when you know nanga foka yo closer, nika dm dayana, I tried. Ya ni, aku na mtaliwana meseji hangu. Then I received a call, nika mbi wa hi, it's Bahati's manager, we were reaching out, we have an album launch, nini nini nini, we love you to come and cover, nika say ma, na you na, I was waiting for these moments. So we went, that was the first time we were encountered with celebrities, nini kapata almost every celebrity has been following me. Are you saying that, that was the first time? Ya, but then I was like 150,000 subscribers. Subscribers, yes. There are so many people who would reach me out kini ambiwa nita pata ma celeb and they don't know how. Me, what I say is according to my experience, me didn't start with, I started somewhere. Yes. Wakau na jobi hangu, yosa sasa, oka zaku nita. So that was the first time. Nika pata na kina, eri nika pata na kina lani, nika create connections, so from there I would make a call nambia, eri kawantu doa nita mimi, ah, wukawati. Let's do it. So from there, nini, Danny, me kwatu evo, kukawana, and take care we are. Oh my God, I mean it may sound you know very easy, but indeed on ground it was not easy. It was not easy, especially with my health, because I was battling ulcers. Ya. Okay, still up to date kuna kwa ina nishumbua, like kama lewa say nimi kapa, but tumu ina nimi wuma. Aki jamani. So lee, eh, santi. So it was not easy for the world, kwingia izo geto. It's not easy. Second, it was very hard for your video to get monetized, kwa zuta pata, izo videos a geto, wama ekangoma, you know I was doing most of that, nika mama freestyle. You can't control the noisy. Always control, so una pata, you're getting numbers, but you don't have anything, you don't have money. That's something that people don't understand. Kuna tu ane uleza, bano lea chokpania, even mo na, they don't understand. Fame always comes before money. Let me tell you. Fame always comes before money. Ya, so you could see people say, you have over 200k subscribers and you don't know who was doing nini. So, there's that process. Ya. So, ndutukamua, we have to diverse our content. Ya. Then ina pika mahali, you know, when you dealing with people, especially young upcoming artists, you always, despite how you try kupotelia shabu, you find yourself in shabu. Ya. Apatameza kukwambia, media lini biangoma. Kay. So, you just go and do the interview, we will do it. Tanu kupotanana media kumomba, interviewata kupatia. Ya, easy kupia. Cos, first of all, it's not a true story. Ya. Secondly, you didn't ask for their consent. So, we decided, it's a story. Since we came to the industry, mo ofu story naka beef, beef, jwilukwani kumombu, nge na gotasiri biya, biya beefing, kukamua. You don't want to deal with that. You don't want to, because we cannot get copyrights. Atwezi, kwa in good relationship with artists, na ondo wana kwiti ya, interviews, events, you know. So, challenges zili kuwa. Ya. There's no adjani without challenges. For sure, for sure. First of all, in my head, where there was a time I fainted at Huruma, ulkuna fanya interview ko. Ya. I was doing an interview. Ya ni. By then, I was extra sick. Tikuwa nimi, realize shi dani gani, nge na zili, kumgunja nge, you're not sure. You don't know what's going on. Unado, nge na hospitali gani, nisi na na tukamis to get you two to help with the pharmacist. Ya. I saw it was not easy. And also, the love that Kenyans were, anyway, lituanya shop from day one, I don't take it for granted. And then, I had a strong Instagram, because by the time to go to Naanza, I was over 70,000 followers. Ah, kumbe bado ulikwa inza fame, ulikwa inza fame mass, ehe. But, I was not really so active, especially my face, but when I saw a sanna from Kampas, they knew I used to post other people's photos, celebrities. Oh, I'm not you. Natua api pesai angumuri. Ya, photoshoots. Ya, photoshoots natua api. It's not like an expensive thing. I know. Hakuna, but my Instagram was there. But another thing, I never used Instagram to push YouTube, because I knew nge pata like I was 70,000 subscribers, so subscribe, followers, so subscribe. But, will I force them to come every day and watch their content? Of course not. They won't. So we struggled tukanganganga, na tukanganga, na tukanganganga, until sasa tukafika, yote minetuna, meet celebrities, then tukalan.  Ampati amana. Exactly. We didn't have a lot of knowledge, so tukanzaku interactna, watu, na jua wak interactna, watu geto know a lot of things, tukajua mambo. So until, until sasa, life ikanzai, life started from the college too. It comes up with change so sasa. Poliopolo poliopolo. Until right now, look at yourself now. Hey, Pado. Atata tukongelia gari sahi, atata tukongelia bada. Now you see this, at the time we had a conversation, nukanya mbia, you used to get bullied, I don't know if it's something that you still experience right now amai lete mukeya andza, people were bullied. Let me tell you, maina. Yambia. Maina. Hey. Is this the online? You see, one thing about Kenya, They support you. The more they support you, the more they hate it comes with it. Yeah, exactly. So, I used to get those bullies especially, but I was a mudogo. I was just signing him mudogo. He was extra mudogo. I was 40 kgs by then. But what used to hurt me most, people could insult me, people could say you're not buying clothes, you're not doing your hair, you're not doing what. Now I do what I'm battling. People think because you have following, you have a line in the money, then other people think because your skin you don't eat. First of all, mimi mimi liyango siya kukwam kubwa. So I've always been small. But by then I was battling a disease. You know you feel so bad. Nisha kukutusi. Na aju vene, you're slurling, kukulai your food, ili ata upate enajia. Ya kufanya kazi eni unafanya wa onne. Nya kukula food. So it was tough at the beginning. Ili fukamahali, tena heti kapunguapunguwa. Atil nao tena, hate sosa, ili kumeskama, alitina ili kumamka. One thing about people, they will support you. I think Jalango said in an interview I did with him. Yes. They will support you. And then when, otu wuku support, bata oita oita kawapite. Yes. When they see you making great moves, then they start kuku furutachini. So they just want you to stay there. No. Without making moves now. Either you stay there or you go up but not beyond them. Yes. That's how people any ni ni tatu ya bina damu. Ya. So like right now it never bothers me at the same time it's a manini, it's a manini. But at some point kuna otu unibo. Ya. Those people will still who like commenting utapa tatu alini suini ni. I feel like by there I'm gonna address this. I don't know whether it's right but maybe I feel like it's very very wrong for any person. Especially women. Ya. Just people who ask a girl when you gonna get bad Ya. Give bad. Wana kwa gani wana wake. It's so wrong because one thing okay I'm not saying I'm battling anything I'm not battling anything just that I'm not ready because I'm still like kids. I mean you're still very young. Come on that is not even it should not even be both as this point I tell you I mean. So I feel like it's so bad especially in the society kufil entitled just because someone is a public figure who doesn't know who they are actually if you can't comment on whether it's right or not you know you don't know if it's wrong some people you don't know what someone is going through maybe it's wrong maybe it's wrong I feel like it's wrong I feel like that's the question I want you to know that the other time by the way I was born especially like 3 months ago I was born I was born I used to see someone I was a pasha but right now I was born I was born because I think when you are online what you want to grow the fact that you are also a kid because like me I'm just 21 years old like they still like you know you're this old person with so much experience with so much money you have so much money you have so much money you have so much money you have so much money you have so much money that's not my goal my goal is not and people's goals are the same exactly my goal is not to get 21 to get a house and then a baby that's not my goal different goals then you may set maybe after I'm planning Mr. Rezium totoingu maybe outside country you know there are so many plants what you want to grow so that's something that you can grow but right now I'm I'm learning to live with it because I have to you know why I'm just 21 to be honest you have a long way I have a long way to go getting a kid it's not a plan that I have actually even in 2 years I mean so I have a long way to go to live with it I just do my work mimi ni kisha eka content kisha pigapisha visuri pada you comment what you comment ni ni ni just leave you exactly and I know that's the way to go to be honest you just block all the negative comments and just do your thing and I would really like to know during this time that you know you are being bullied and all these things what was Trevor's role in your life and what did he do to you when mimi kama sitreva I would have and he ikitu when he insulted me mimi kama satreva ikitu mimi am the kind of person mimi am talker to you but I have less or no friends mimi supendi so go through your life just do what you want mimi is doing just go through that so when I started seeing people I don't know you you are insulting me unani pigi asimu unani text matusi kujui unani liza nini at some point I used to cry so Trevor mimi am a play role kubu asana ya ku nimi mekni jue social media iko evi and you have to grow and thick skin at some point piaia lukwa kuna tadia me face evi to ya ni man one on one man to man exactly so ali nipe anguvu ali ni ame social media iko evi kwa ziaia lukwa na juezi mambo from from kitam mimi lukwa na zani mimi doto anani tusi then I used to check out pages kama zakin ako there kubu baby tena kumpi anakina dayano you know wunona two watu wana tukano a two ya small so nasama tena gale wu wana tukana aya na tukano tena gale dea na justiaia ya isimu konde ya badwa na tukana so I came to realize kumbi it's happening to everyone so nika akani sa idea nika pata that strength ya and then it was easy to cope up you know when you are alone it's always hard but when you are two kwenam tena kumpi ane wea tena na awo just continue with what you are doing ya it's never that hard ah ok now you see of course travel as a ututamuita pa badaya kuji atu salie railway aya jubali aya jakuja lazima atu evi eja mani e but you see now you guys are now making this money yuna jua me kapa le kwa youtube meto and then you guys are making this amount of money but people will always wonder how do you guys deal with money muna jilipanga me shuwa mwezi ama nani aname nani ako na pin nani anendanga kutua pesa as you know people just wonder because you two are very young you know but what I can say is we are young but it doesn't mean you don't have the you don't have the knowledge yes but you also have yuna jokunokuna those people who are financial experts aneza waka waka advice when you start receiving money ya it's good to get people who advice you on how you are supposed to do the same things but what I can say is you know when you get money you have to come to a company you know mga if it's a company yes you must divide if it's a business ya asma kukuna savings ya asma kukuna do me mamta kula ya asma kukuna do ya kampuni because msi po fanya ibo eventually tako muna muna ibi ya kampuni and kampuni ita ita anguka eventually na tunge weza ata you know we started with a fund atunga goto me fika lewene camera tunneza kuna camera tunneza ajiri watu job ainge fika apo if all the money nasema ina onia stare atatu fanya ibo but according to who does this everyone in our family we are familiar with it we are familiar with it it's a family of two every one in our family can access the money ya but we always like consult each other consult each other before you know we just get money from the bank and all that ya akuna temina skanga pointe nye una feela asma una katani tunne ina mina tako kufanya ibo of course of course kuna iyo time e of course kuna iyo time but we always we always try and come up with a with a decision ina ibo both sides mina tako una feel atataka kubai iki atu atataka kubai zingu wana zotani 30,000 ya nia nasa feel iza 30,000 tretzabai tretzabai microphone ya you know you just way out ya nini priority apa you go with the priority well ok but it's not that easy of course tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai tretzabai microphone ya eh nini well well I want to know cos I know you already addressed it but I really want to know how did that make you feel you know when Kenyans were telling you you're disrespecting him and also you see even for him was he affected with the fact that he feels he's less of a man that he's not taking care of you the way he's supposed to do how was that situation ok you know for us like me and Trevor we never had Thank God I can didn't say冻 Pay has she raised the accident We had brief told that we were gonna say that Vina's wish is on us So she says she unf wouldn't believe her But on that Situations You know the debt I'm always the person you need to Bronx For camera ...people tend to think mimi dooni kona? no dooni kona mimi dooni kona? na make donations exactly i don't know why but actually they should not travel behind the scenes you guys should not travel I know I feel like what I felt is people are trying to judge me kia kwa camera and they actually don't know us na kwa what I usually say is on camera you see what we want you to see very true if you didn't want you will not show it you don't know us you don't know us so I felt so bad and another thing I can say is by personality me I'm strict me me me na iza ungea for example we can travel we find that I'm the one who answers so many questions you know why? because on camera it's always like are you comfortable ama umeliza suali na feel like where na take long kujibu let me just run with it it's just a moment here I don't know why I'm laughing and me me I always have you know when you used to cameras and used to talk to people because like me I started when I was just a kid so you know what to say next so to say next lecture we will always think okay here na I'm more cautious you are just aware and go panizachoma but for me na kwa ngatu na rice rice me me seek which ukulia any any big issue na na take sema o sijeta me ba iwa gari ili mufite I'm like okay you know what we just don't know us we don't know how we live by the way but I think people will always talk people will always create conversation but when you need both those who we shall say you know if it's a kikuyu me I feel like any 2k20 2k21st century ama 22 2k20 but only 2000 exactly it's the 21st and there are people who still feel atiyu wa trafanyaivi just because he or she is from this tribe na feelingi e e ni kichu me pitu na wakati so I felt like but I also felt like it's a challenge to both of us to try wacha kila mtu waka e kwa jyobi ake if you're supposed to be on camera just stay on camera you're supposed to be behind the scenes just stay behind the scenes but if the timing that is of important you na fakuongia you can always address it but I think wacha waka e kosa kiti oksema wacha waka e kosa kiti oksema and it everyone has their a right to their own opinion ya misi u kui take me there to heart cause so long as it's really atiyu je fika mahali e nye tuna disrespecti na manafili on disrespect it is not supposed to both of us you know you're not supposed to tell wawa upa e kuni ambia atiyu umitomi oksani mon na misi jaona why are you seeing it I'm not always supposed to see it the past one so it's easy personally I try to let ya any issue ya but I think we'll have a long journey people will have to continue talking because I told you people will support you but when you are at the top they start pulling you down ok it's like kikidogo kikidogo so just continue working hard ya nukwe li kozi even the social media pressure is real kusema tukwe li it is real do you ever find yourself wanting to behave a certain way because now you're afraid that people might talk do you ever feel that's capresha sometimes you will still do what you want at the end of the day but do you ever feel that's capresha of guys I thank God I've never reached to that point ya ju atokia nga liya suju kuna atuata sema oh suji alo disrespect kama suji alo yongi ambia lea ke suji ali sema nini but sii bado we'll continue to do another video behaving her life this is how we do our thing we're not faking we're not faking we're just being real this is our life and you've decided is what you're gonna do and also online you have to do kila kitu na fanya let's not fanya kitu piya ina kubenefit ya if something you're doing not creating any conversation yes asma wu jwe piya ume lala you're sleeping let's not what you're doing iku ina create conversation ya what's your relationship like with Erikomondi nukwe palema fans e atu o iva na guza guza Erikomondi sana na guza nukwe atamnyang atanyanganya Trevor Dem e e e ta e ta e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e People have out here. Exactly. Because you were working with celebrities, you were sleeping with them. Exactly. So Eric is the kind of person who is here. Eric is the one who is here. To be honest. When I started celebrity interviews, I think he was actually the second person who is here and who is making me meet all celebrities when he is here. He is the one who is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. He is here. So Eric and me and Trevor were close. And the funny thing is imagine that it's like it's the time to show young people Eric what they want. I would say they are counted. Yeah. It's Trevor who does the talking. I know. You know people don't know these things. Exactly. Like people are mean to me. You know. You know. You know what I had? Will you Paul? Because I have never talked to Will you Paul. Like I am decided now. Never. Yeah. But people will always talk. Yeah. And give that opportunity to them. Yeah. They will always talk. Yeah. And give that opportunity to them. Yeah. We will always talk. We will always be together. Yeah. We will always have conversations with them. Yeah. We will always have conversations with them. Yeah. Nukweli now talking of Posey. You know he is also close to you. Yeah. He has most of the time appreciated you with the work you are doing. Yeah. You know all these kind of things. But then nowadays these allegations that he's always facing you know. Oh, sujinani ame moa kus of rap, sujinani ame moa kus of raps, you know, you are someone who is close to pose. How can you describe Willi Paul? Ote, Willi Paul is one of the most understood, misunderstood artists, because when you interact with Willi Paul face-to-face, you get to know more about him, unadown into aina, nini, and probably maybe people keep on judging him from maybe a mistake moja shei fanya, oto anashinda, akim jajinayo. But to me, he's a nice person, he says he complains about our relationship, ajai kwa na atu jai kwa na any disrespect, any tabiyambayambaya, never. Oh, okay. Wakase matina wukona beef na baha. What? Don't she think if it was a baha, kubale kwa comment section, wemembo na o shooting if it was a bahati, nimi koni nimi nili fa niki. Tata na shangangu, kuni hawa ziyo ni? All. Kuna fisha, ina interviewa bahani kakosa. I think the fact that people, when I knew nangana Willi Paul, they feel like siyukona bahati, and it's very wrong, ju. Like, there was a time to go to Menda, eitem Diana lukona revealua kama an artist, nabadu tukenda. Like me, I'm new, I'm everywhere. Misiyuko a team, no, I cannot be like a fan. A fan, nimi hawa mbiliya personaliti, hawa jano nili. Tezi kuwa, ati tata na mimi nituwa kwa na kava Bahili Paul, nisi tenda za wuizia bahati. Mimi nituwa na kwa bahati, niki ma listen, tenda kwa wili Paul, kwa mimi nikuwa jo. So you find, and also, what I've learnt about the industry is, ma fans newa na nzisha bifia wa tu. Like you can see, like me, Diana has always inspired me from kitamu, nikiwa shule. I was to love her vlogs until now. Ati wiki na kwa vlogs, ake utopata, there are some that leave a comment, aki kuwa, like, gari, I commented, aka reply. Usually, to keep a tana, we do interviews, na na na na. We have never had any issue. Nini atu jikuwa na issue na, deba artist. Nimi ma fans true. Wana kwa angatu na mba. Wani wa wili Paul, wani wa, but there's nothing like that too. Aja nikuwa, aja nikuwa kusia, nimi sija waka kusia. I always cover their story when there is a story. Yata juzi, na nikuwa. I always do, but kila mtuata choose bada ya ke, kuna mtuata choose kutuna hezo video, same way. Aja hez yona. Very true. I agree. Kuna mtuata sama, kwa wani wu jai fanya, mi sija yona, nazime ja apa. So we just ignore so long as you know your relationship. In the same industry, kwa zianda wu kukustana na watu. Npia, mimi am not the kind of person that I nipata ati, nikuwa na issues na watu, kusia I always concentrate on my line of duty. Na wachana na ya. Na wachana na ya. Hey, then we wake up one day is mungaya kwa quiet gaubare. Did you ever think that you will get there very soon? Ya, I saw it coming. Immediately after. How come? How did you know it? Immediately after I did the interview with Kaby, Kaby Waji. So it was about Bibi Abi and he was he was giving out receipts fenyanali panga. Fenyanali panga. What is it called? Fenyanali panga fees, I knew that night of the following day Alpita, I knew. So were you ready for the pressure that it came with it? Because it came with a lot of you know, a lot of people talking, a lot of people giving views, imagine it was not a surprise. I knew. Ushie kwa ready for something. I knew. And you see people start talking about you. Eliam tu urushu mawe nikuwa na watu. Nikuwa na watu. So it was not a surprise. Because I had interviewed Kina Kabi and always wa uwa. Nikuwa na kava yusutu riawa and they have issues most of the time. So I knew Alpita and also actually there are some things I wouldn't say here but I was ready. You were ready? Very ready for it. Yeah. And I wanted to do something but it's not necessary. What I do na nayo with the help of a few people in the industry. I was guided to go about it. Nikuwa na kava na. Oh wow. You know you've really grown a tough skin at your age. I mean you've really grown a tough skin. I don't even know what's going to happen in ten years. As in utaku ujali kabisa what people say. And you know that's the spirit because the people are brought down by things that people's opinions. Which is I mean I'm yet to get where you are. I hope I will be strong but I mean I'm working with people so I mean I mean so now uh wuka wuka pesa online kwangari ee pesa mingi what you waka say maiva meanza kuringa umepeta pesa meanza kuringa how was that moment for you?  Ya, btw, kumbe li kwa ya kubahegari. Now, I really want to know, what do you think of what Edgar O'Barre does? Kwa you see, we've seen people complain that he has broken families, you know, he's not helping anyone, then there are others as well, like you know, this is the shed room of Kenya, this is the TMZ of Kenya, he's building families. What are your thoughts about what Edgar does? My thoughts are simple, he has a job, he has a job in Pahali, you know, even I feel that he has a fan side to him, probably he doesn't know that he is a victim, but he has a side to him, who is he to himself? So, I feel that he has a fan side to him, I follow him, I follow him, so I'm a huge fan of him, he has a nice job, he has a job, he has a job, he has a job, he has a job, I have an interview with him, I have an interview with him, I have a job at Keshwa. So, as long as I have a job, I have a job for him, I have a job, it is nothing but, I have a job about it, he's just doing his job and probably it's a calling, he has a job in account to me and in self pushing, Miki miki takuli? Hachai rela kupega? Ya What does your family or your parents say about what you do? They appreciate it In the beginning it was not easy You know to convince a parent Ruja wasu zia na kwa kumigubili in ila Ila nushunia uto maljashula wukwe maybe dr. yukkukou pisi Itu kama yo first of all I really struggled Kukonvins muza kwa mga umu mi nata wukwa nyan generalizin Ya kwa nata I know me too Yul עם이 Taskaffey on Tonya Ya! Ya!  I mean I know I'm in the same industry as you but for you What has been the most challenging thing? I think in life, me and that kind of girl will always see things in a positive way Okay But what I think is, ya ni, ili kitu ni milima inyatwezi bamo Gia ni, kudze Ojanga lewa tijudia, ikahave ni na kudze So there's no like a huge challenge These two challenges are here and there Unapata like challenges, kama gani Like sometimes like where I am Like the greatest challenge ni neza sema My area of work is the identifying the kind of content Ini na taka panya Okay, me I know what I want to put out there But utapata nanawase, mitu me niha understand Leza pata maybe for recent, there's some of these trending Nanafiun na fakumfanya interview But to where we, because of venue me plan Kariya ya ku venue me plan brand ya ku inataka ikue Hai ruhusu Na joa, okifika lewa ingine in your brand There's something to stop doing You can actually see from my videos Kuna bitu zene sipa nihangi zene ius to do Kwa zime fika mahali kuna bitu wezi Wezi tu fanya, wezi subject Like almost half a million people To some petty petty things So unapata dea pwyo ui not understand Dea pwyo ui sayu na ringa I don't want to support them And then another challenge is You can support someone And it usually happens but there were a lot You never support me too And then they turn to be angry Very true So it's a It's a mangas the challenges But Ah, chila nga nga nati Ne, talking of support You know manziwa kibira I spoke to Obidan I had an interview with Obidan some time back The ex-husband Wa manziwa kibira And you know for him he said that He actually thinks that you all Manziwa kibira, something like 5 million Ok, it's good Should think about It should continue Ya ni, as you watch And then kufikiria You know, isn't it the tsuzake And you cannot reason actually Ya We cannot reason Na ya ya Na jwa Pilam takona reasoni ni ya Ya And it's good he's thinking that way And he should continue thinking that way And I wouldn't address Like I feel like I don't have the energy To address such issues Kus, first of all How are they benefiting me? They're not benefiting me There are people who will sit there To always look for somebody That will help them Come back to the industry Or trend And maybe my papas Is very different from them Mi am just Continue covering people's stories Continue helping people To come into the industry And push their Push their careers You know So mi mi That's something that I said I'll never ever address Atakila om tu Atakila om tu ajikangia Namof tyake So you want to mean That your relationship with Manziwa kibira Is sort of done and done It was done even before Ya Ya So it's Atwezi atwa Ok anyway Life will tell You know You might cross roads again No No You do not want that Like kuhaya ma brand is Yes I'll never I'll never go back to someone Who Who can tarnish my name Or to someone Who doesn't respect How hard I've worked Yes Or to someone Mwene ana feel Ana feel Na fa You know I'm not supposed to fish For you forever I'm supposed to Show you how to fish So if you're not willing To do it Mi mi mi chakus ideaje And then When the brand grows There are kind of stories you want to do We cannot Each and every day unambiawa Tuki tu enye Piwa wewa mwene una feel It's not adding up Unfortunately It's got levels Levels wuki pandau me panda tu And there is nothing we can do about that We can never go back Ya for sure Where do you derive this confidence To do all these things Because I mean it's not so many 21-year-olds were out there Doing what you do As in where do you derive this confidence Even to You know to speak up and stand up For yourself Una tuanga wapi confidence iwi I think first of all It's a favor And grace from God But since I was a kid I've always been a Very, very confident girl Actually Mweli mwitu enye Neza kwa ono She's a video Neza confess I've always been very confident I've always been a leader Nikiwa primary High school Mi mi mi me kuanga Tu yulem sewa I can stand And express myself I can stand Even if a million people Ani rushi amawa I can stand with my own opinion Nani amu eni hivi Nani hivi And I can never But then mi mi amu Shalibari principle Nikiwa eni hivi Beti Yeah Like Nobody can change it Yeah I think I have some confidence And I took a good Aki Yeah And I mean Confidence is everything Confidence is the best outfit You can never wear Because if you do not have confidence Then you can be Brought down by anything By everyone Yeah So that's really good to hear Now Una juwa sayi I would really want to know Have you ever gotten into trouble You know doing any of your stories Doing of my stories In trouble Like in future Like maybe you've gotten into trouble With someone Or if just You know They don't want you to upload Their stories Yeah I have Actually there are Even those people Who will cover their story Then later they start telling you It's Jui I mi fikiri otherwise Delete the video Srinini So we actually Tulipika mahali Ikisha skiza storyako We feel like it's a kind of Shorineza Kostrabo You know it's easy to tell Yeah I mi wonei video naia Or it will perform Vizutu Yamcha neza muwa Wei ni ni ni So we have contracts Yeah Usually sign A copy So that usi wa ii Rudi apon yuwa Konza kusemas Jeev Ali ni tumia Jeev Ali post video Nali mumbi atoe Yeah Yeah so we have Contrast right now Yeah we blunt Yeah it's a learning And then At that troubles Wei it's she got in Nama karawu Ah Yeah Jia kushu to play sama Not actually shooting places That was way back Nio time nye tuko I can remember tuko tumena shootia Meja na paroti ya Alewa Yeah that's right Alewa ii hei So I li kwa ni issues to came there You know I think by now Pia Serika leitu imesha juwa Kuna mambuna online Yeah By then li li kwa ni like So the news thing Ufa ikuone kana na camera like What are you doing Record record Atu kwa na press cards And everything But so say yo trabo ya watu By then kuna time li kwa mefika Una aduna siya kwa niya gas termetumana Kila muntuna Ufa niya video then Faling din na zaku kukul Lila ii kwa strong In this person But that's why we decided Now we've land Yeah We're coming up with the contracts Yeah If you want us to do a content Ani me file ii content Yeah Nese kani Leta in trabo Mambuna muntuna zaku feel Otherwise Let them go through the contract If they are okay They sign Then you do the video Yeah Oh okay Then did you ever patch things up With Black Cinderella You did an interview Of With someone Aka mongelia vibaya Then she was you know Out there saying Umemko seya Aki kupata ata kupiga Did you ever guys patch things up?

Hey guys, I'm showing you a different angle of my table. Yes, this is my messy art table. Here you go Welcome to another kids art video So in this video, we're gonna start a series where we do little paintings and things every now and then We're gonna do a watercolor Sort of painting today. I'm gonna show you a couple different ways to do it This is a plant that lives on my kitchen counter downstairs And I thought it was a good inspiration to do a fun easy painting So we're gonna use it as inspiration and I'm gonna show you a few tips and tricks on how to create something that is Inspired by this but not exactly looking like this. I think it's gonna be pretty fun and pretty easy So I wanted to show you the plant first before we get started now We'll go back to the overhead table view and let's get going now as we get going to do this on video I hope that y'all have done your chores and you've done your homework, you know, same old routine I know I repeat myself a lot But I am a mom and so yeah You're minding your parents hopefully and everything is going all right for you at home And if it's not ask someone you trust for some help. All right that being said We are gonna get started with some kids art painting videos and We are going to I'm gonna show you a couple different ways to do that painting inspired by that little plant for those of you who don't know and aren't aware I am a Mix media artist and water colorists So I do have a lot of watercolor paints here in my art room You don't need them to do this at least I don't think so I have a couple ideas on what you could do with simpler materials, but I am gonna show you with watercolor paints how to do it and then with the Supplies we've been using which include the water soluble Crayola Metallic markers and some crayons and pencils. So Let's get started The first thing I want to do is tape off the edge of my paper. So let's talk about the paper So this is watercolor paper So if you're gonna do something like this, you do want a thicker piece of paper You don't want to use a thin piece of paper. So you want to use a thick piece of cardstock or preferably watercolor paper Watercolor paper is not expensive. You can get very inexpensive brands kinds of watercolor paper If you don't have anything at home and you're trying to just use what you have a thick piece of cardstock will work You just want to be careful about how wet you get it You're gonna need a straw And you're gonna need some pencils and some paints or some markers that like we we saw in the last Drawing video for the little journal which is here On the seashell and on the popsicle we Got some of these wet on a piece of plastic or on a plate and Made sort of a painting ink out of them so you can use that too All right, so The first thing we're gonna do is we are gonna draw the pot for our plant in just a plain number two school pencil So I'm going to just Lightly draw the shape for my pot. Is it a curved line? Hopefully that's showing up on camera I'll zoom in in just a minute and then on each side of the curved line Do a straight line about the same length? right Then bring it in just a little bit Make sure that these are the same distance apart then a little bit in from the edge Start a new line and curve it curve it in just a little bit and draw another one on the other side Do your best to make sure that they're straight. They're not going to be perfect, but we're okay with that and Then do another curved line to attach them. That's our pot then Do a little bit of a curved line going the opposite direction here and Here There we go. Can you see that?  Okay, let's go there So the first one that we do let's do with simple tools And then I'll show you one with proper watercolor paints So the first thing we're going to do is I'm going to take my metallic green I'm going to put a bunch of it on our hard surface whether it's a piece of plastic or it's a plate like this one You probably have something from the last drawing And if you don't make sure that you ask mom and dad's permission Don't just go do this on one of their plates because I'm pretty sure that's going to get you in trouble and Then we're going to take the blue and we're going to take a paintbrush and We're going to get them wet Well, I'm going to start with just the green right now Now with any watercolor paint or water soluble paint the more water you put in there the lighter The color is going to be that's kind of an important thing So if your color is too dark add more water I'm going to take some of this color and move it down here with my paintbrush and I'm going to get my brush wet again, and I'm going to add more water to it See look how much lighter it is Then I'm going to put the plate on the side and I'm going to take the light color and I'm going to put a bunch of it here. I'm going to take my straw like that How fun is that? Same color. I'm still using the lighter color. Try not to make a big mess Then I'm going to take my darker color We'll put the darker color on Now One of the things about water color paints water soluble paints is they're just going to go where the water is So unless you put it down here where it's dry, it's not going to go there by itself If you get some paint like right here where you don't want it take your brush with some water Put some water there grab a rag You won't get all of it up, but you'll get probably most of it up. Okay, just like that You want to let that dry and then we're going to do some more Okay, so I took our green and I added some of the brown to it and I'm going to get it wet again Just to give me that'll give me a little bit of a darker color. See what happened Put that on here puddle some of it so we can blow With the straw and also take it before that dries and I'm gonna just add some of it To like thicken up some of the lines that we have gotten from blowing the paint around This isn't exactly the right paint brush for it, but I'll show you in the other one Using a different brush, but that's okay. We're gonna also take one of the lighter colors. I'm gonna Add some more of that to the background. How fun is that already? Sop up some of that extra water and paint. Okay, let's work on the pot just a little bit So I've got our blue here on that I put on the plate, too I don't want it too dark and the thing with water color paints or water soluble paints is Once you have it on there, you generally can't do a lot to take it back You can get some of it up and not all of it So always start with lighter colors than you think you want because you can always make it darker, but you can't make it lighter not easily so I'm gonna put a shadow here under the lip of the pot and Then also down the side Put a little bit of paint and then I'm gonna come back with water Again, this is really not the right brush for this, but work. I'm gonna use what I have Because we're all about that, right? I'm gonna why that's wet. I'm gonna come in with our rag and blot it up a little bit in my opinion That's a little bit dark. So you might like it that way. It's a little dark for me Okay, I'm gonna put some of the dark here outside our line Oops We'll take a little bit of the darker All things are still wet it'll move around in the water Okay, I am gonna take a little bit of that brown Brown inky paint. Let's just put a little bit of it here Underneath the plant where the dirt is right? Okay, we're not quite done yet, but look how cute that looks We are gonna dry let that dry again before we go do the next step I'll be okay now. Let's just define a couple of things. We don't have to do too much. I don't think So we're gonna take a black again, just a plain black pen like we used in the daily drawings I'm a plane. This is a big crystal ballpoint pen. It's nothing fancy. I'm gonna not push down too hard into the paper But I'm going to redefine some of our lines for the pot Keeping it loose and sketchy not being too concerned about Things being completely perfect. We're not about perfect, right? and then define Just a few of your pieces of plant Follow the lines of the paint when you blue on the paint And I'm going to take a white pen.  That's that's a good painting So there you go. I didn't use anything special One thing you always want to remember when you create a painting is make sure to sign it So we see how we can do that with proper watercolor paints Hang on just a second. Okay. Let me start by saying you don't have to have watercolor paints to do that Do this painting. We just proved that I used what we had that we were using for the daily drawings But if you have some watercolor paints, maybe you've got a set of Crayola watercolor paints That'll work just fine. These are Windsor newt. This is a Windsor Newton pocket set It's not super expensive, but you can use Crayola use what you have I'm gonna Put mine here first and let's get them wet. So when you get them, they're usually dry in Cakes like this. It's called a cake.  I've got two. These are watercolor brushes. I only use these for watercolor I have a half inch a flat a small flat brush and then I've got a small round one. This is a number four round I'm gonna put them in some clean water. We've got our straw still So like last time the first thing we want to do is draw our pot So we want to start with our Curved line and go down one side and then make the same size straight line on the other side Then go in just a little bit and in just a little bit just like we did last time Then we're going to go in slightly on each side and we're going to draw a straight line that goes in Tapers in just a little bit Like that draw a curved line Now once You get your paint on here. These pencil lines really won't show much Once your paint is dry, you can erase them before you do your pen work But I really I like seeing the pencil lines underneath my paintings. So if they show i'm not too concerned Then we want to draw our other little lines here at the top just like that Okay, so just like last time same kind of shape as last time So now we're going to take our flat brush the bigger of the two brushes which has yellow paint on it for some reason Plate does I don't know and we're going to grab We have two greens in here. We have a sap green, which is a yellowy green Like that and we have veridian, which is a darker blue green For right now, we're going to go with the sap green and i'm just pulling a little bit of the paint Like last time with watercolor paints or water soluble paints or ink the more water you use The lighter the color is So i'm just grabbing a little bit and then i'm going to put some water Because you can always make it darker, but it's harder to make it lighter, especially if you're using watercolor paint The marker lifts really easy the paint doesn't always so i'm going to take my Light green paint here And again, we're going to puddle it on the top of our pot in the middle Just add a bunch of it and then we're going to take our straw Take some more one more time Let's put some of that pigment back down here because we blew it all away our water droplets Okay, we're going to dry that and we're going to come right back I will say about the drying part. You don't have to let it dry at all or all the way Before you go on to the next step But then your colors are going to mix a little bit and you have to be okay with that The easiest way to let it dry is to just do a couple of these or do these while you're working on your drawings And just put this aside and let it dry while you're doing something else All right, so now We're going to take some more of that sap green color Add it to our pile of water So we have a darker color I'm also going to take a little bit of the viridian and mix it in with the sap green I'm going to put it down here just like we did last time We're just using paints to the watered down marker Okay, let that dry again, and I'll be back. Okay time for the details like with the other one So we're going to start with some loose sketchy lines to outline the shape of our pot For me painting is all about suggesting shapes rather than trying to be super realistic about things That's not who I am as an artist and a painter If it's what you think you want to explore go for it There's a lot of great tutorials for realistic drawing and painting on youtube But that's not what I'm about. I think it's more fun to suggest shapes So like with the other one I'm going in to suggest some of the vertical lines of the plant Following some of the paint lines that I see that came And then we're going to take our two white pens Now you can see right there. Can you see right there?  Sign it, of course. All right. So there we go. There are two watercolor paintings That I hope that you have fun Recreating and if you decide to do a different kind of painting I would love to see what you do if you have a way to share them with me You know painting and creating is a lot of fun and very Therapeutic. I know a big grown-up word, but it's a really great way to Have some fun in a creative constructive healthy normal way So I hope that you Explore it and decide to give it a try. I love painting. I love water coloring One of my things about watercolor is I can take it with me anywhere I just need a piece of paper my little paint box and a paint brush and if you have One of these brushes that has water in the handle you don't even need a cup of water because there's water here already So that's it for today. I hope that you all have fun with it that you have found good and fun interesting ways to stay creative while you're staying inside and don't forget to Stay safe. Stay healthy.  Bye guys


The study presents an in vitro method for investigating liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins on both sides of cellular membranes simultaneously using an array of freestanding planar lipid membranes, revealing trans-membrane coupling and suggesting a mechanism by which signals originating on one side of a biological membrane can be transferred to the opposite side. This article was authored by Johan Lee, Sujin Park, Feng Yuan, and others.


What does breast cancer do with cholesterol? Here are some of the potential mechanisms by which cholesterol boosts breast cancer growth. Cholesterol is what our body makes estrogen out of. It's packaged into LDL, which we saw up here to increase proliferation of breast cancer cells, decrease patient survival, and is a major component of lipid rafts. Compared with their normal counterparts, cancer cells have higher levels of cholesterol-rich lipid rafts in their plasma membranes, which may be important for cancer cell survival, as well as serve in human cancer development, in terms of tumor migration and invasion. Elevated levels of these cholesterol-rich lipid rafts have been found in breast cancer cells, and the thought is that by reducing blood cholesterol levels may disrupt lipid raft formation and thereby inhibit breast cancer development. This suggests cholesterol targeting may be useful as a cancer therapy. Controlled laboratory experiments have shown that phytosterols and seeds and nuts at dietary-relevant levels appeared to inhibit the growth of several types of tumor cells, including breast cancer cells, both estrogen receptor negative and estrogen receptor positive cancer. The therapeutic implications are that plant-based diets, rich in phytosterols, may offer protection against the development of breast cancer. Of course, you can't make a lot of money on pumpkin seeds, so researchers looked at cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. Evaluating the safety of statin drugs for women is particularly difficult, however. Little research has explicitly proceeded from a gender-based perspective. Some petri dish work looked promising, but population studies have shown mixed results. Some studies showed that women on statins had decreased breast cancer risk, some showed increased risk, and most showed no association. But these were all relatively short-term studies. People called long-term statin use was defined as mostly just like three to five years. Breast cancer can take decades to grow. The one study that looked at 10 or more years of statin use only included 62 cases. Given the increase in statin use over the past few decades and the fact that they're commonly prescribed to be taken every day for the rest of your life, the studies published today have had limited ability to evaluate the impact of long durations of use. And we'd better figure this out. About one in four women over 45 in this country are on these drugs. But that was the only data we had until now. Thousands of breast cancer cases included in long-term statin users. Women taking statins for 10 years or more had more than double the risk of both types of breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma. Now the number one killer of women is heart disease, not breast cancer. So we still need to bring down cholesterol levels, but might there be a way to get the benefits without the risks? Plant-based diets have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol by over 30% within just a couple weeks, equivalent to most of the standard cholesterol-lowering statin drugs without potential side effects such as increased breast cancer risk.


Tired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you Escape, starring Edmund O'Brien. Escape designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure. You are trapped in a remote valley in the Andes.  Today with Edmund O'Brien as Nunez, we escape to the mountains of Ecuador and to a remarkable world where sight is unknown. As H.G. Wells imagined it in his gripping story, The Country of the Blind. I'm Izibara. I'm a mining engineer in Quito, Ecuador. High in the towering Andes. Up until a year ago, my chief sport was mountain climbing. My last climb was an attempt to scale the remote and forbidding peak of Parascota Petal, a 20,000 foot crag, unconquered by man. It is unconquered still. 3,000 feet from the icy summit we turned back and fled for our lives. All of us escaped except one, a guide named Nunez, who slipped over the frightful precipice and disappeared in the vast chasm yawning 10,000 feet beneath us. The horror of that man's fall has terrorized my dreams for a year. Because of it, I have forsaken mountain climbing for the rest of my life. And that decision still stands, even though today I have seen Nunez. He was sitting on the steps at my shack when I arrived at the mine this morning. At first I didn't recognize him. He was so much changed. I thought he was some ragged beggar. Is it you, Senor Ibarra? My name is Ibarra. Yes. What do you want? You... you do not know me, Senor? No, I... you look like a man I knew once, but he's... He's dead. Dead on the slopes of the Parascota Petal. Nunez. Nunez. That is my name, Senor. At least that is the name I remember. But... but you fell. I saw you fall. Yes. It's impossible that you could have lived. Perhaps the guards of the mountains had some reason to spare me. Nunez, if we had any idea that you were alive, but you went down... down thousands of feet, we couldn't even attempt to find your body. I know. I know. I do not blame you. You could not have reached me. And if you had, I... I should not have welcomed you. At first. But then, later... What do you mean? Senor, you will not believe what I had to tell. I can hardly believe I'm seeing you, talking to you. Tell me what happened to you. You remember that night? The night I fell. We had been toiling all day, inching our way up a steep ice wall. And as darkness came, we found a narrow ledge, barely three feet wide. We can get our shelter wall up and cut off some of this wind. That'll be welcome. Yes, but first, we will rest a moment. Look at that icy devil up there. Gristening in the moonlight. There's another 3,000 feet of sheer ice wall. We'll have to cut our own holes from now on. There won't even be ledges like this for resting places. I can see why no one's ever made it. You think we ought to go on? I don't know. Nunez, what do you think? It is not my place to say, senor. I was hired to go to the top. I agreed. But what do you really think? If I believed in the gods of the mountain as the Indians do, I should be frightened now. Why? Because we have invaded the forbidden circle. This part of the Andes is unmapped and almost unknown, senor. It is an easy thing to believe strange things in this white loneliness. Some of the legends are fascinating. I've heard of one. There's something about a hidden valley called the country of the blind. Yes. It's supposed to be somewhere down there, see? Arbaloise. A fertile valley which was settled many centuries ago and then cut off by the great landslide of Iraq. But why the country of the blind? And even before it was cut off, the people developed a strange illness. All of them slowly went blind. After that, their children were born blind. The legend is that the valley was the home of the mountain gods. It was too beautiful for human eyes. But then it's all nonsense. Oh, yes. Yes, it's nonsense. It would be pleasant to find it, though. You know the old proverb, in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. I doubt that we should ever find it. I even doubt that it exists. Of course not. I was only joking. Of course. Now, if we're arrested, you'll make the shelter wall, eh? Right. I'll give you a hand in a minute. Believe me, Barra, for two pesos I give up this climb. I never realized... Sir, you're... do it! I'm slipping! Do it! My foot slipped on the treacherous ledge and I had gone over. I slid down the icy slope for perhaps 200 yards, digging frantically with my feet with my hands for some kind of hold. And then I wound up falling far out into the icy black knight, falling down, down. Perhaps a thousand feet and then I felt the heavy stinging impact of snow. I'd fallen onto an almost perpendicular slope and once again I was sliding down, down, tumbling over and over. But down, around me, over me, an immense avalanche of snow was rumbling, sliding with me. Suddenly I realized that my own motion had almost stopped and it was the snow that was moving. I was riding the avalanche and almost at the same moment I went over the second precipice. It was higher than the first, much higher, perhaps 4,000 feet. I fell with the snow for what seemed minutes, every second, expecting that terrible, final impact. But the impact never came. Miracle of miracles. That sheer wall blended almost imperceptibly into another slope. And again I was sliding. Gradually as the arc of the slope curbed away I felt myself slow down. I was whirled along on top of the avalanche and then as it subsided out onto the gentler snow upon a gentler slope and finally I rolled to a stop and lay still. I awoke it was morning and I was covered with snow. I shook off the cold white blanket, rolled over on my back and looked up. My heart almost stopped as I saw from where I had fallen. The mountain towering 8,000, 10,000 feet above me. Carefully I felt myself. My clothes were torn. I was bruised and bleeding. I ached in every muscle but I had not broken a single bone. I lay there and offered up a prayer to the gods of the mountain. Far below me lay a lush valley sparkling in the morning sunlight. I could see the stately trees and green meadows fresh with dew. I started down but it was still an arduous descent. The farther down I got the more I realized the beauty of the scene. This was a hidden paradise I'd fallen into and I was the first man ever to see it. So I thought but I was wrong. I realized that first when I saw the cultivation in the meadows and then the walks well kept stone walks laid in a symmetrical pattern all over the valley. I saw them. There were men and women lying under the trees resting nearby a collection of windowless huts marked the village and the plastering of the houses was done in a wild variety of colors. I thought to myself the plasterer who did that must have been blind as a bat. Then I saw two of the men quite close to me.  They were dressed in odd loose clothing and there was a strange look about their faces. They failed to notice me as I approached until I shouted. Suddenly they looked up attentively in my direction. I waved wildly at them but they took no notice. Why the fools must be blind? Could it be that I had fallen into the country of the blind? In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. I walked towards the men by the stream and I spoke to them. Hello. You needn't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I come in peace. It is a man or a spirit come down from the rocks. I'm a man all right just like you but I've had a miraculous escape and now I find myself here in your valley. Valley? Come hither. Let me feel of you. Certainly. My face?  My lips they move with speech my eyes Careful gently on the eyes. Eyes? That is strange. Feel this courier. Yes, I feel. Careful. Do you feel my eyelids flutter? He is but imperfectly formed. Some strange bulge there unseemly. No, no, your eyes are shrunken in but mine a hole I can see. See? Pedro, he is a strange wild one. Where does he come from? Down out of the rock. No, no, from over the mountains out of the country beyond beyond where men can see. From Bogota where there are a hundred thousand people and the city stretches out of sight. Sight? What strange words he uses without meaning and feel the coarseness of his hair like a llamas. And you have come into the world. Into? No. No, out of the world. The big world beyond the mountains. The world that stretches 12 days journey to the sea. Our fathers have told us men may be made by forces of nature. It is the warmth of things and moisture and rottenness. Come, let us lead him to the elder. There's no need to lead me. I can see. See? Yes, of course. I didn't see a water bucket. He stumbles and talks meaningless words. Lead him by the hand. But look, I... All right. They had been blind for centuries. They had forgotten even the words associated with seeing.  Especially when they led me into the pitch blackness of one of their windowless huts and I stumbled over something. A thousand pardons, Medina Soroto. It is nothing. He is a clumsy one. Sorry, I fell down. I couldn't see in the darkness. Who is this and what is he saying? He is but newly formed. He has come down from the rocks. He stumbles as he walks and mingles words that mean nothing with his speech. He is a wild man out of the rocks. No, I come from Bogota over the mountains.  Bogota, he uses wild words. His mind is hardly formed. He has only the beginnings of speech. Bogota? Well, I come from the great world where men have eyes and see. That must be his name, Bogota. He stumbled twice as we came, feather. He must be tall.  I can see, but not in the dark. To you, darkness or light, it's all the same. But to me, to us who can see, to us outside in the world beyond the mountains. Mountains? What are mountains? Very well then, beyond the rocks. There is nothing beyond the rocks. That is the end of the world. Oh, but surely you must realize that the sky above covers more than this valley. Sky? Above? There is nothing above, but the roof of rock. It is very raw, my children. He shall have to be taught from the beginnings. Take him away, feed him. It shall be done, but guide him. See that he does not stumble over my daughter again. Don't fear, Father. I shall guide him myself and feed him. Very well. Come, take my hand. Thank you. It will be a pleasure to get outside again under this darkness. Come this way. Thank you. What is your name? My name is Juan. Juan Nunes. And I... Sunlight. This is better. You're beautiful. I cannot tell what a wonderful thing you are to see. Please. I'm afraid for you. Afraid? Yes. If you do not learn quickly and see speaking such strange words, they may not be so kind to you. They might be angry.  This thought had not occurred to me before. And suddenly I had a twinge of fear. Still, the proverb kept running through my mind. In the country of the blind, a one-eyed man is king. But try as I would. I could not make them understand my wonderful gift of sight. They simply could not comprehend it. Worse, they were not impressed.   Day by day, I learned their peaceful ways, but they could not learn mine. It was getting on my nerves, perhaps. Bogota, come here. Bogota, you move not. No, and I won't, you old beetle. I'll show you. I'll leave the path. Bogota, trample not on the grass. It is not allowed. How did you know I stepped on the grass? I heard, of course. Hurt? But I didn't make a sound. Why do you not come when I call you? Can you not hear the path as you walk? I can see it. There is no such word as see. Cease this folly. Follow the sound of my feet. My time will come. You will learn. There is much to learn in the world. Has no one ever told you in the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king? Blind? What is blind? Oh, never mind. Go on. Bogota, I must warn you. Just keep quiet and learn and stop this nonsense about seeing. Nonsense, is it? Well, I'll show you. I've taken enough of your insults. Unformed mind got no sense yet. I'll be king here. I can see and I'll be king. Bogota, stop it. No. No, I'm through with your orders. I'll show you what an advantage I can be.  Bogota, there must be no violence. You must come peacefully. By heaven, I'll hit you if you come any closer. I swear I will. Bogota, put down that spade and come off the grass. You don't understand. You're blind and I can see. I can see. Now, Bogota, you must not do... I'll hurt you. I swear. Leave me alone. I hit his arm, turned and ran over the wall outside their valley back to the rocks to the precipitous cliff I'd come down. But when I reached that sheer rock wall I knew there was no place to go. For two days and nights I stayed outside the valley hungry and cold and then I realized the hopelessness of my position. I was trapped. I must spend the rest of my life here. There was no way out. So, I went back. I confess I was mad. I admit I'm only newly made. That is better. And you still think you can see? No, no, that was folly. The word means nothing, less than nothing. And what is overhead? Rock. There's a roof above the world, a roof of rock and very smooth. Very well. And now...  Very well. Give him food. Yes, Father. And after that, the most menial tasks in the village. Guard him well and perhaps perhaps he shall learn yet. Thank you, thank you. That's better. You're kind, Medina Sarota. Very kind. I am glad you came back. You are?  What was that word you said I was? Beautiful. It means something nice. Something very nice. Medina Sarota, why is it you have no husband? I have a disfigurement. It's long years. Your eyelashes? But they are beautiful. They're considered a disfigurement. Well, you're the loveliest girl in the valley. But they wouldn't know, would they? And so you have no lover? No. Medina Sarota, what do you think of me?  Oh, no. You have much to learn but you will learn it, I'm sure. And you are kind and gentle and your voice is soft. You speak the words that are soft and warm. No one has ever spoken such words to me. I shall speak them often, Medina Sarota. You are the only one in this valley in this world I care for. And so it began.  I, with my eyes still whole, fell in love with Medina Sarota, the daughter of the elder of the village. Only to her could I open my heart without fear. Only to her could I speak of the beauty I could see around me. It's a beautiful valley, Medina. Green with grass and yellow with sunlight and flowers. Bright flowers dotting the hills. And in the cool of night the stars gleam like diamonds in the sky. Oh, the words sound lovely. But what are stars? Well, they're... No, you wouldn't understand. And what do you mean in the cool of the night? You still get that confused one. The night is warm. The day is cool. No, no, it's you here who have them backwards because the darkness means nothing to you so you work in the cool of night and sleep in the heat of day, but... No, no, I'm not. Oh, what does it matter? All that matters is you. You here beside me. Medina Sarota, I love you. And I love you.  Oh, I like to hear you speak. Then will you... will you marry me? I would be very happy. I will not have it. But father...  He has delusions. He cannot do anything right. But he is getting better. He's better than he was. And he is strong and kind. Stronger and kinder than anyone in the world. And he loves me. And I love him. I will not have it. Great sire, if you please. Yes? What is it, good doctor? I have examined Bogota and the case is clear to me. I think very probably he might be cured. And how might that be done?  I believe I know what it is. Those queer things he calls eyes, where we have but an agreeable depression. He has great lumps. Consequently, his brain is in a constant state of irritation. But what can be done to cure him? It's a very simple surgical operation. To remove the cause of the irritation we will merely cut out his eyes. They say it will make you well. You don't understand, Madina Sirota. My world is sight. You wouldn't want me to lose my most precious position. I don't know. There are so many beautiful things to see. The flowers, the far sky with its drifting clouds, sunsets, stars and you. Just to see you, it's good to have sight. And I would never see you again. I wish sometimes you would not talk like that. Like what? I know it's pretty. It's your imagination. I love it. But now... Now? You want me to Madina Sirota. If I were to consent to this... If you would, if only you would. What else can I do? My dearest one. My dearest with a tender voice. I will repay you. Oh, Madina. Be brave. And carry my voice in your thoughts. Now and tomorrow. Yes. Tomorrow will be forever. Goodbye. Goodbye, Madina. I suppose I knew it then when I said that. I only meant to go up on the rocks and look out over the valley to spend my last day feasting my eyes on the wonderful beautiful world of light and color. But when I got there it was too beautiful, too lovely. This valley, this home of the mountain gods beautiful and forbidden. I drank it in the green of the fields the blue of the gently curving stream the orange of the lichen and the rocky crevices. Then I climbed higher to see the great snow-capped peaks towering above and away to the distant sky and higher as the shadows turned the snow to purple and crimson and deep blue. The valley was far below and as beautiful as a painting. But like a painting it looked unreal. Madina Sirota was small and far away a distant dream and the world of sight was here here all around overpowering. Wonderful. I turned and began to climb of that sheer rock wall. How many months it took me to make my way out over those mountains over glaciers and snow fields and sheer precipices I cannot guess. How I lived through the cold and the hunger of it I cannot tell you but I am here at last back from the country of the blind. Good heavens, man. What an experience. Terrible and wonderful. But you're not sorry you came back. Sorry? I see her face clearly now that it's the only thing I see. Nunes, come. You need food. Here, take my hand. Thank you. Where is it, Senor Ibarra? Nunes. Yes, yes, the gods of the mountains have had their revenge. Those months of crawling over the snow and ice with the sun glaring down, yes, I am blind.
