Give your home a mother’s touch

On Mother’s Day, we generally give back to mothers. But you, the mother could also give to the family; by doing for them the things that only you can do the way you do them, writes Christine Wanjiru Wanjala

Winnie Byanyima: No ordinary woman

Pace setter. At a time when even colleagues in her political party regarded the idea of a woman running for office as political suicide, she did not only run but won a parliamentary seat.

Extraordinary mothers

First word: Revelling in motherhood

I ’m not sure I would ever be able to describe my mother in a single word, so I will not even try. But it would be a good place to start reflecting on your mother and what she has been to you this Mother’s Day.
