I really LOVE this. I wept when read the story finger death in CNN. She will hold a place in my heart as long as it beats. One really small detail. She was living and training in Kenya at the time of her murder.
CRIP DYKE: What an awful story, but how beautifully and dramatically told! What a terrible tragedy, what a tale of triumph, what a brutal tale of madness...... I shake in anger and tears, I stumble in shock! How painful.
No matter how far you can run, you can't escape the violence of men. I hate it here. Thank you for this beautiful rage sob.
Oh, honey.
Your words were both beautiful and horrifying at the same time. I have no words, only tears.
Absolutely brilliant writing CD.
The prose was so beautiful, and the pain so real. I wish for the day that this would stop happening.
This is such a tragic story and so incredibly written. I don’t know why it isn’t getting more engagement.
We'll just cross our fingers that more people share it the way you did and eventually it spreads her story farther.
I shared to Facebook as well which I know doesn’t play nice with Substack but I have way more followers there.

Thank you so much, for everything, including the correction. I clearly misunderstood the account I read on that point.
A powerful essay. Beautiful and tragic. Thank you for honoring her.
💔😢
Why do men hate us so much???
Thank you.
This story hit hard in the Bongo household, with Mrs Bongo being Kenyan and a survivor of domestic abuse from her first husband, back in Nairobi.
My origin story is fighting domestic and sexual violence. Tell her I have her back, always.
Beautifully written elegy for a woman whose life was too short.
