How we met, in our own words

Parkroad Fellowship, Nairobi, 2018. The group chat demanded the story, and we told it a paragraph at a time.

Joshua looking up through the trees, sunlight on his face.

“The year is 2018 when I met a nerdy Joshua who kept talking about stars. I laughed politely and left from where he was, but I was kind enough to take photos next to him. Be kind to the nerds. He might be your future husband.”

Grace

“Advice to the youngins: shoot that shot. Wanasemanga aim for the stars, utaland next to your sunshine.”

“If you’re wondering where we met: it was in Parkroad Fellowship. So ladies and gentlemen, join a fellowship (heavily biased to PRF), join a church, go hang out where groups of people are. Your spouse might just be there.”
