I Write What Life Doesn’t Say Aloud

Priscillah Zoe is my name.

These are reflections born from my lived experience, observation, and quiet moments of becoming. They explore love, loss, family, identity, relationships, and the systems that shape how we see ourselves and each other. Some pieces are deeply personal; others are reflective on society, but all are written from a place of honesty, where emotion is not hidden, and truth is not softened to please. This is a space for questions that linger, for pain that teaches, and for growth that often comes quietly. If you are here, you may find pieces of your own story within mine.

• I Didn’t Lose Faith. The Church Lost Me
  “Friends meet in bars. Enemies meet in church.” I came across this quote while watching an episode of The Wicked Edition with Dr. King’ori and Benjamin Zulu on NTV Kenya, and I remember pausing when I heard it. It sounded harsh. Almost offensive, but the more I sat with it, the more I understood why … Continue reading I Didn’t Lose Faith. The Church Lost Me
• Dear Beloved
  Dear beloved, Letting go is not easy, most especially when the very things that hurt you are the same things that changed you. The same things that made you guarded. The same things that made you numb. Pain has a way of settling into places we never expected it to reach, and sometimes, we hold … Continue reading Dear Beloved
• Love Alone Has Never Been Enough
  “Love without compatibility, love without compromise, love without self-examination and self-improvement will never sustain a healthy relationship.”~ Dr. Jeff Klapow This piece is dedicated to people in intentional relationships, those who are dating with purpose and not merely passing time to satisfy society’s obsession with being “off the market.” It is for those who genuinely … Continue reading Love Alone Has Never Been Enough
• We Hope, Again
  Five years later, here we are again. Standing at the edge of another election. Waiting. Watching. Wondering whether this time things will be different. And yet, every election season in Kenya seems to come with the same emotions: Hope. Fear. Confusion. And uncertainty. We begin asking ourselves familiar questions. Will peace prevail? Will our votes … Continue reading We Hope, Again
• The Weight Women Were Never Meant to Carry
  I have never understood why women are constantly labelled as the “weaker sex.” The more I observe the world around me, the more that phrase feels deeply insulting. How can society call women weak when so many of them wake up every single day and carry burdens that would break most people, men to be … Continue reading The Weight Women Were Never Meant to Carry
• The People We Choose, The People Who Choose Us
  What is family? For most of our lives, we are taught a very simple definition. Family is said to be a group of people connected by blood, marriage, or adoption. People who belong to the same household and share the same name. It is a definition many of us learn in school. A definition repeated … Continue reading The People We Choose, The People Who Choose Us
• To the Men Carrying Their Fathers’ Wounds
  I want to talk about something many people avoid discussing: Fatherlessness and how deeply it affects the boy child, and when I say fatherlessness, I do not only mean physical absence. Sometimes a father can live under the same roof as his children and still be emotionally unavailable. Sometimes he is physically present but abusive. … Continue reading To the Men Carrying Their Fathers’ Wounds
• When a Father Becomes a Daughter’s First Heartbreak
  Fatherhood is a complicated subject. For some people, it brings warmth, safety, and beautiful memories. For others, people like me, it brings pain, confusion, and questions that never seem to have simple answers. If I am being completely honest, conversations about fathers have always unsettled me. Sometimes they make me angry. Sometimes they make me … Continue reading When a Father Becomes a Daughter’s First Heartbreak
• How I Learned that Equity is not Neutral
  For the longest time, I found myself saying, “I am not a feminist, I simply believe in equity.” At the time, I thought distancing myself from feminism made my argument more balanced. I wanted people to know that I believed in fairness for both men and women. I believed no gender should dominate the other, … Continue reading How I Learned that Equity is not Neutral
• When Silence was no Longer Enough
  Life is a mystery. It has a way of forcing us to question the very things we hold closest to our hearts. For many women, happiness often looks simple: To feel loved, safe, and fulfilled, especially in matters of the heart. We long to be chosen wholeheartedly, to build homes rooted in peace, and to … Continue reading When Silence was no Longer Enough
