In July, 2008, I, Princess Rachella, Intrepid African American Girl International Journalism Consultant, pulled up stakes once again and headed to Nairobi, Kenya. Through my various adventures, I've concluded that if I get any MORE explosively fabulous in these prequel years to "THE BIG 5-0," I will have to register myself with the Pentagon as a thermonuclear incendiary device.

On the Road Again, and Again, and Again, and Again...-


This is what I'm starting to feel like. The car in the Monopoly game. After just being home from Rwanda only 36 hours, in another 6 hours I'm off to Lamu, an island near the coast of Kenya. It's vacation time, and my Zanzi-buddy Ron just flew in from Lagos where he was doing design and newsroom trainings. We're launching another leg of our Fabulous World Tour--at least of the islands near the coast of Kenya, anyway.

We still can't get over how two Midwestern kids grew up to be kinda-sorta jetsetters. Deep down, a part of me expects to wake up one day and be riding a Metro train to my job at Target or something.

But I've come this far without that happening, so I guess this is my lot, for the immediate future. I'm keeping the engines revved, but am sure I'll need a tune-up eventually.

Umm, is there a mechanic named Idris in the house???
