I matriculated in 2023 at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, where I completed an MPhil in Development Studies. I recently published my first book, Capital Violence: The Economic War on African Dignity. My academic journey sharpened the central inquiry of the book: how ideas taught as orthodox knowledge travel into policy, how they settle into institutions, and how they are experienced on the ground.

Capital Violence: The Economic War on African Dignity is a work written in conversation with the very questions many of us first encountered in lecture halls, seminars, and late-night debates; about power, development, markets, and whose lives bear the cost of “growth.” Rather than treating economic systems as neutral or abstract, the book asks what they do in practice, and to whom.

Drawing on political economy, African intellectual traditions, and lived experience, Capital Violence traces how contemporary development frameworks, debt regimes, policy choices, and global capital flows continue to shape African futures in ways that quietly erode dignity while presenting themselves as technical necessity. It moves between theory and reality, between boardrooms and informal settlements, insisting that development cannot be understood without confronting its human consequences.

Capital Violence is available worldwide on Amazon  and at Nuria Bookshop in Kenya.
