Dear Ory

I wrote my dissertation with two kids on my lap. My first baby was born in
Nairobi while I was doing my fieldwork. Many kictaneters were around to
assist, including the wonderful alice munyua.

I just had my third, and I think they somehow make me more motivated and
creative.

Hongera mothers!
