Football Changes Lives.

❤️ In this season of World Cup, help me connect at 50 youngsters with a pair of quality shoes.

"Football made me, now it's my turn to help football make the next generation.  Because sometimes, all a child needs is a ball, a pair of boots, and someone who believes in them." - Wilson Masaka

Every effort counts!

I am a passionate former footballer, currently coaching and mentoring the next generation of players to succeed and find sustainable pathways both on and off the field. One of the many things I love doing is documenting the entire journey within the football ecosystem through my lens.

I remember playing barefoot. That experience continues to inspire my work under the Wilsen Initiative, where we are committed to supporting the next generation of stars with quality football shoes through the "Play Safe With Dignity" campaign.

Since the inception of the campaign in 2000, we have reached more than 700 young people with a pair of quality football shoes—giving them not just equipment, but confidence, safety, and hope.

You are most welcome to donate footballs, football shoes, or other related resources to grassroots teams.

Feel free to link up with me if you would like to support us in reaching more struggling teams, especially U15 boys and girls in Mathare Valley. Together, we can ensure that talent is not limited by circumstance.

10 Things You Should Do if You Ever Find Yourself Jobless.

Life Series: Joblessness Isn't Hopelessness

Here are 10 things you should do if you ever find yourself jobless.

Remember, routines create patterns, patterns become habits, habits shape behaviour, and behaviour eventually forms beliefs that become part of who you are. I have been there once, and I want to share these little nuggets of wisdom.

Here we go:

1. Sleep well, but don't oversleep.
Go to bed on time and wake up early. You may ask, "To do what?" Use the extra time to read, learn a skill, help someone, or work on your personal growth.

2. Volunteer.
Offer your time and skills where you can. Volunteering opens doors, builds networks, and gives you valuable experience.

3. Don't isolate yourself.
Spend time with people who can add value to your life—and this doesn't mean hanging out in pubs. Surround yourself with positive and progressive individuals.

4. Have a meeting with yourself.
Ask tough questions:

- What else can I do?
- What opportunities am I overlooking?
- If I don't act now, what are the consequences?

Self-reflection can be the beginning of transformation.

5. Build or join meaningful circles of friends.
It's easier to belong to a social circle than a progressive circle. Know the difference. Social circles are often based on circumstances, while progressive circles are united by common goals and a desire to grow.

6. Do what you love and love what you do.
Passion alone may not pay immediately, but it gives you the energy to keep going until opportunities come.

7. Never underestimate the power of exercise.
You don't need a gym membership. Create deliberate routines—walk long distances, jog, visit the market, or play sports. A healthy body supports a healthy mind.

8. Talk to people.
Self-marketing is not a bad thing. Let people know what you can do, but make sure you have something valuable to offer. Create value and let others know about it.

9. Detect distractions at all costs.
Avoid unnecessary browsing, endless scrolling, or programs that only make you feel sad and discouraged. Protect your mind and your time.

10. Understand that life is a competition—starting with yourself.
You are not the same person you were yesterday. Compete to become better every day. Yes, there are many others in your situation, and some may seem luckier. But don't make luck your primary goal. Instead, break the chains of comfort and keep moving forward.

Remember:
Being jobless is not the same as being hopeless. Don't let joblessness turn into hopelessness.

I hope you have learned something from this. I am always available to offer training and mentorship to young people.

Being jobless can feel like being in an empty room where all you hear is the echo of your own silent voice. Dare to open the doors and windows by stepping forward—not only with courage, but with attitude, skills, knowledge, and by choosing the right tools.

I call this philosophy ASK-T.

My Photography Journey +throughMylens

📸 Self Made Series 

The same camera, the same lens, and sometimes even the same environment can produce completely different results. Why? Because beyond the equipment, you need an extra pair of eyes in every situation—a fresh perspective.

Without a doubt, your camera, lens, and other gear play a role in the quality of your work. However, the greatest difference often comes from how you think, observe, and interpret what is in front of you. You cannot expect different outcomes while seeing everything through the same mindset.

Photography is not only about mastering the technical aspects; it is also about developing the way you see the world. Your perspective, creativity, patience, communication, and ability to connect with environment (the wild, the people, the street etc) all influence the final image.

Learn both the hard skills and the soft skills. Master your equipment, but also master your mindset. In the end, great photographs are created not just by the camera in your hands, but by the vision behind your eyes.
