If you would like to support my activism & community organizing work, you can buy any of my seven publications on Amazon Kindle and leave a review, just search ‘Gibson Maina’ on Amazon Kindle. If you’d prefer the solidarity to get to me quicker you can PayPal or Mpesa.

Internet usage (how many use it and how they use it) is yet to catch up with the technical advancement of the internet. The most nascent digital frontier is in how we use the internet, for societal shepherding. #InternetAndSocialChange

In a cross­-cultural(class) context, the questions that need to be asked are ones such as: •Who defined the research problem? •For whom is this study worthy and relevant? Who says so? •What knowledge will the community gain from this study? #ResearchInSlums

There is a difference between being poor & impoverished, whether it is in material or in a #digitalsense. One is a natural occurrence while the other is a result of external forces in action. The digital divide, injustice, violations etc are not natural occurrences but manmade.

It's not important to prove our human-ness to active denialists, when what we need is progress. What's important is collectives; to search and identify opportunities for collaboration, to find allies that we can work with to expedite our emancipation. #ResearchAndCollectives
