159 On My Mind

Congratulations to Eliud Kipchoge and all his family, community members, his manager and his running team. Thanks to his chef and farmers who fueled the body that ran in record time.


Kipchoge becomes the icing of the cake of the Kenyan story. No politician should be allowed anywhere near the facility as they are the exact opposite of the the spirit that Eliud Kipchoge has displayed.


Kipchoge has demonstrated not only what hard work can achieve but more importantly what recognizing talent can mean. Corruption is paying those without talent while killing those with talent. Those involved in global neoliberal politics should be allowed but should be made to walk backwards and face away from the stage as a symbol of what damage exploitation, racism, bigotry and austerity causes to mankind.


It is a great reminder of the millions of talents we destroy every year because of selfish interests and cowardice amongst the populace. Thanks also for the Blackness of the skin that continues to counter the racist narrative of Africans and indigenous people as inferior and beggars of the planet. This is a sweet victory for all men and women of good will.


Yet, I can't miss the opportunity to point out the irony of the fact that the record had to be broken outside Kenya. Why do we as Africans produce the best only to it to be recognized abroad? At a time when another economic recession is on the horizon, Kenya would have benefited tremendously from hosting the event in Kipchoge's hometown. Almost all the people in business could have been uplifted from poverty overnight by hosting those many people.

I can imagine the KipBNB's( formerly Airbnb) bill for the event, the boda boda bill and the food. What I would have been most excited about would have been the residual income to the community from the annual races commemorating today's historical event. It could have saved the country a lot of foreign currency from many who had to fly from Kenya, even if a good chunk of the money would have been donated to Kenya churches tomorrow. Wooie ' I wonder how many fundraisers were planned for tomorrow?

Chef Kabui

The Hex Kitchen is a collaboration between Chef Kabui and the Hex community in a bid to promote food literacy, mindful eating and wealth creation. There is a natural connection between those who are fighting against fiat currency and those engaged in the struggle against fiat food. The two social ills of fiat currency and fiat food are at the heart of the tyrannic global world system we are now living in. That tyranny is directly connected to the climate crisis we face and there is no way we can solve one part of the problem without being mindful of the whole system, For a start, the Hex Kitchen is keen on addressing the issues of real money and real food as a basis on regaining our sovereign power. It is no accident that the struggle for food justice would find allies in cryptography and more specifically cryptocurrency. It is not a usual collaboration but yet it is one that makes sense on many levels. Chef Kabui has been studying and applying the power of food literacy, mindful eating and food justice in the struggle against oppression in general and specifically to people of African descent.

Chef Kabui has studied the disciplines of politics, anthropology and culinary arts and has designed a cuisine or rather an approach to food that is informed by the above experience and the indigenous knowledge that he gained from his Kenyan family’s history as sustainable farmers for generations. The combined experience and education resulted in the creation of a cuisine called Afro Futuristic Conscious Cuisine. It is a combination of the most sustainable practices in the growing, preparation of food with the goal of causing the least damage to the environment and maximizing the health benefits of the food. Those two conditions are necessary for a mindful community that ensures that justice thrives.

Chef Kabui has been pushing organic food and healthy eating based on his research and his own experience. The idea of healthy food and justice is not something that chef Kabui got into but was born in it. His family operated a farm and his father ran a restaurant in the capital city of Nairobi. Kabui grew up in the village with his mother where they grew almost all the food they consumed. It was at his family farm that he Kabui developed a love for fresh food and the art of consuming food following the natural cycles of seasons.

The collaboration aims to share the skills for healthy food to the Hex community and beyond. No community can survive without food and the Hex community is no different. The Hex Kitchen is another assembly point for the community to be nourished both physically and socially. While wealth is private, food is social and having a kitchen for the community to assemble is a great option for a community that is causing ripples across the world.

What to Expect

The Kitchen will have virtual classes, content on Youtube and other social media presence for a start. The goal is that the Kitchen will have a physical place that will have a kitchen in a farm that will grown food and have space that guest can visit. The farm will have a demonstration farm for the vegetables, fruits and herbs,
