Workbook
For Kenyan Families Abroad
Community, Ambition, and the Obligation to Send Money Home
Kenya shaped you. This is where you name what you are building from that shaping.
For the Kenyan family in the diaspora working through the intersection of cultural identity, remittance obligation, community expectations, and what belonging looks like from afar.
The Name It First Experience
Your family carries Kenya. Its values, its community structure, its specific brand of ambition that says your success is not yours — it belongs to everyone who invested in you. This workbook gives your family a structured space to name what Kenyan identity means in your specific household, what you are carrying on purpose, and what each generation contributes. The output is not a cultural summary. It is a signed identity document.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What word describes the specific Kenyan definition of success your family carries — and how does it differ from how success is defined where you live now?
- When you look at what your family carries from Kenya — its values, its community obligations, its ambition — what do you notice you want the next generation to inherit, and what do you want them to be free from?
- What would your family's identity document look like if it named what being Kenyan abroad actually means — not just pride, but the full weight and gift of it?
