When Giants Fall: The Silent Cry of Climate Change
Imagine a grand shujaa, a warrior so resilient he’s faced more battles than a mzee telling war stories by the bonfire. For almost a thousand years, this warrior stood tall, roots deep in the soil, branches reaching for the sky, weathering storms like a champ. But one day, the floodwaters came like a gang of rowdy matatus za Ronga, and our hero, the mighty Mekatilili baobab, was swept off its feet. After surviving countless seasons, colonial battles, and the relentless march of time, this ancient guardian finally bowed to the forces of nature—a harsh reminder that when climate change knocks, even the strongest fall.
