Episode 13: Love In Private with Moses Kiema
Would you be able to turn a blind eye knowing the way the public behaves around celebrities? Would you keep your eye focused on the family ONLY when it comes to a partner in the lime light? As a person in the public eye, there are many difficult decisions one has to make as they get into a committed relationship. Award winning actor Moses Kiema had a conversation with Kalekye just to shed some light on how he has managed to keep his marriage of 8 years completely private. We searched all over for at least one image of his wife and found NONE. His wife chose not to know what happens and he also doesn't share things that happen in his DMs that would make her uncomfortable. Moses says he has managed to separate his acting life from his family life and they have actively cut off friends who are nosy and want to start up fires in their lives keeping their focus on each other. His assurance to her is to actively give her his undivided attention and time while respecting her boundaries. This episode is an encouragement to anyone who maybe shying away from marrying someone who is in the limelight. You can decide to keep your relationship private and also be understanding of your persons work then live a happy life.

Episode 12: Trauma Bonding Love with Wadzanai Garwe
Imagine watching your life happen before your eyes as if you were watching yourself in a movie.That is exactly how our amazing guest Wadzani Garwe felt after she received a her life changing diagnosis that came without any counselling or care just a 'we cannot insure you because you are HIV Positive'. On first chat with Wadzanai who is now a HIV activist aside from being an economist with the United Nations, you would not tell the kind of trauma she has been through. Her bubbly nature and evidence of living out loud hit you face first. But on deeper conversation, Wadzanai opened up about how she received this deadly diagnosis back at a time when HIV & Aids was newly discovered and Africa had no antiretrovirals. Her then boyfriend who was with her on receiving the news was very great about it - or so she thought. We had the opportunity to stream this conversation with Wadzanai as she took us through the journey of how a traumatic diagnosis can find one opting to stay in the wrong relationship in an attempt to run away from reality. She shares her experiences during what began as a trauma bond relationship, how she almost lost her life and how she finally accepted her reality and she began to live a full healthy life. Wadzanai is truly a miracle of God and we thank her for sharing her story. If you have a story that you want to share: Email us on conversationswithkalekye@gmail.com and we can host you next.

Episode 10: Don’t Marry A Poor Man with Christine K. Mutua
In this day and age, marriage is either something we run in to so fast especially as witnessed with young Christians OR are so afraid of because of the implication of the responsibility as witnessed with the Gen Zs. In this episode we had a conversation with the author of the book "Don't Marry A Poor Man' Christine Karanja Mutua, who is an educator, a wife and mother to young adults sheds light on how to identify a poor man, what to look out for and consider before saying "I DO". In her words, there are things about a person that don’t change irrespective of culture, time and place. In fact take your time because time reveals truth and relationships generally develop over time. Poverty is not just financial but in mannerisms, wisdom, knowledge and it is important to take time to know your potential partner because at the end of the day “Marriage is a private affair with public implications.” This episode is a challenge to both women and men alike to make sure they don’t take the step towards marriage lightly.
