In this episode of the Legally Clueless Podcast, Blessing shares the first part of her deeply personal story. Born in Nairobi to very young parents, Blessing grew up moving between homes, from Nairobi to Nakuru, Thika, and relatives’ houses, searching for stability in a childhood filled with uncertainty.
After losing her father at a young age and navigating an emotionally distant relationship with her mother, Blessing struggled with the feeling that she had no solid place to call home. That instability followed her into adulthood, shaping how she approached friendships, career choices, and her sense of identity. Despite performing well in school and receiving opportunities for further education, Blessing found herself unable to choose a path because stability itself felt unfamiliar. Feeling suffocated by uncertainty and desperate for a fresh start, she made a life-changing decision: to leave Kenya and work in the Gulf as a domestic worker.
In Part 1, Blessing reflects on:
