I woke up this morning thinking! YES WE CAN! it is new day and a new beginning in this great country. As a First generation Kenyan to the Americas and to witness history made and recognizing the fact that his father was from Kenya, what more can I say, I could not help but tears just rolled down my checks. All I can think about is that it gives my children the hope the courage and the ambition to strive for what they believe in and that anything that you can a passion for, can be achieved in this great nation. It gives Neema and Baraka (who shares the same name with the President elect) the ambition to stive for the highest point and one day they can be the next president of this great country! Barack Obama- you have started a new journey for our little ones and God only know how much means to us as parents.
Last night Neema could not sleep because she wanted to wait until Barack Obama was announced as winner. and in her own words she said " mama I am going to bed but at midnight I will wake you up to check the news and we can see if Barack is the winner" We did not have to wait that long, we did not go to bed until 10.30pm and by then we knew that he had won. To see his beautiful family walk upstage was amazing and beautiful and we all started to cry................................. Go Barack and God bless you and your family and as you begin this journey, we follow along knowing that some day our children can do it.
