Chebet Karamai is a Kenyan nurse and emerging writer whose storytelling is shaped by care, culture, and a fierce love for the continent. A committed Pan-Africanist, she finds joy in the texture of African life—its languages, its literature, its layered histories. When she isn’t tending to patients, she is reading, reviewing, and reflecting on African books and the worlds they carry.
Her writing is both lived and learned—deeply rooted in her experiences and sharpened by her listening ear. This story is not only an account of her internship in Narok, but also a tribute to the mothers, the culture,the land, and the healing that defines the heart of community care.
This one is For the land, the mothers, the language, and the healing. A story I didn’t just write—I lived it. Etched into my bones as a listener and a collector of stories.
