Closure letter Dun


Dear Dun,


I don't even know if you’ll ever read this—but this letter isn’t for you anymore. It’s for *me*. Because I’ve carried enough silence, enough pain, and enough confusion.


When we met, I was vulnerable. I had just come from a heartbreak, and I was still learning how to stand again. I gave you my trust, my time, my care, and even my money when you were at your lowest—not because I was desperate, but because that’s the kind of person I am. Loving. Loyal. Hopeful.


And you took that… and broke it.


You lied to me. You cheated. You played games with my heart while pretending to love me. You moved from one girl to another like it meant nothing, and yet you kept me around—just enough to use me, but never enough to choose me.


I asked for honesty, you gave me excuses.

I asked for love, you gave me confusion.

I asked for respect, you gave me silence.

I asked for commitment, and you gave it to someone else.


You blocked me. Ignored my messages. Took my money and never paid me back. But the worst part isn’t even the 6,000 shillings—it’s the peace of mind you stole. It’s the nights I spent wondering if I wasn’t enough. It’s the way you made me question my worth.


But not anymore.


You no longer get to occupy space in my mind or heart. I may not get closure from you, but I’m giving it to *myself*. I forgive myself for staying too long. For believing your words over your actions. For hoping you’d change. But I don’t forgive what you did—not now, maybe not ever. And that’s okay. Because healing isn’t about pretending it didn’t hurt—it’s about walking away anyway.


I’m reclaiming my power. I’m choosing peace. I’m choosing *me*.


Goodbye, Dun.


Yours lovely 

Carol Nyambura Mwonjoria

My journey to self love and healing.

In the labyrinth of my heart, there was a man whom I thought I loved deeply. He was the embodiment of passion, and his allure was magnetic. But beneath the intoxicating spell of his presence, I discovered a painful truth that I can no longer deny. My heart had been tethered to his, and I willingly gave him my all. I told him, "I love you," and I meant it. Yet, he chose to tread upon my feelings indifferently, a coldness that left me drowning in a sea of uncertainty. For reasons I could not fathom, he would only reach out when desire coursed through his veins, leaving me longing for more. I found myself trapped in a cycle of self-inflicted torment, always the one to initiate contact, my heart yearning for the connection I craved. It was a dance that left me bruised and battered, with my self-esteem hanging by a thread. Today, in a serendipitous encounter along our familiar path, he offered me nothing more than a fleeting side hug. No words, no affection, just a reminder of how...

The Mastercard Foundation Strategy to Promote and Expand Employment Opportunities for Young People in Africa

 The Youth Employment Challenge  Africa is the youngest and fastest-growing continent in the world. By 2030, there will be 375 million young people in the job market in Africa. Within a few decades, this demographic boom will push Africa’s workforce to more than a billion people, the largest in the world. While economic growth in many countries has been strong over the last 10 years, it has come with relatively few employment opportunities. According to the International Labour Organization, almost 80 percent of people in Africa work informally. Recent research undertaken by our Foundation in two countries in Africa found that among young people, very few had access to formal employment and most struggled to make a decent salary to live. When young people can secure formal work and a steady wage, their lives improve. Employment, particularly formal employment, is a leading pathway out of poverty for families. In Africa, the world’s youngest continent, youth em...
