Kisses from Kenya Episode 8: Left Right & Center

Premiered on 23 Mar 2026  Kisses From Kenya

EPISODE 8: Left, Right, Center

In Kenya, the driver sits on the right, the traffic comes from the left, and nothing you learned at home quite prepares you. Vuyanzi and Brendan use that disorientation as the entry point into a bigger conversation: what happens when the political and cultural assumptions you built your life on get quietly, thoroughly flipped?

In this episode:

• Whose America Is It Anyway? - a deep-red Tennessee district shows signs of life; a U.S. president, 85 deaths, no due process, and a pardoned drug trafficker
• Crossing the Road in Kenya - driving on the left, bodas from every direction, silent prayers in Ubers, and what it means to reprogram your instincts
• Deep Dive - how living abroad forces you to confront your automatic assumptions and find your own centre when the world feels reversed
• Lost in Translation - "HELLO???" and what Kenyan urgency sounds like to American ears
• Queer & Black Joy - a friend visiting from Pennsylvania; mixing worlds; joy as resistance

Transcript

Vuyanzi 0:06

Hey, Kisses from Kenya is produced by Democrats Abroad Kenya, but everything you hear in this podcast reflects our personal perspectives.

Brendan 0:20

Yes, nothing we say should be taken as the official stance of Democrats Abroad Kenya, Democrats Abroad Global, or the Democratic Party. And this is an entertainment space and not an official policy platform. Thank you. Hey y'all, welcome to Kisses from Kenya, the show where the passenger seat is on the left and the driver's seat is on the right.

Vuyanzi 0:41

And where everything you thought you knew gets flipped from traffic patterns to life lessons.

Brendan 0:47

Love life. You don't understand.

Vuyanzi 0:52

There's a story that we didn't discuss that will maybe it might come up talking about flip. It's a quick story, it's a quick one.

Brendan 0:59

No, anyway. My girl got flipped like a pancake. Anyway, uh this is the part that always depresses us, but let's just get it out of the way.

Vuyanzi 1:11

Well, because I think there's some hope in what we'll share first. And that was that there was recently a um a red district, a house district district in Tennessee, where the race was pretty heated between the Democrat and the Republican, and it was drawing national attention. Well, Trump won that district by 22 points. Right. So right. So people are really looking. And um, and they said, I believe I read that a record-breaking amount of Democrats actually came out to vote. Yeah. However, in the end, the the Republican won. However, you know, I think for not I think from what I'm understanding is it did give us as Democrats hope. That if it's turn if the turnout was like that, if it was so close, then in the end, what could happen in if this guy even stays in office? So maybe there'll be a special election for a new president. I I'm sorry, we don't have a president for that, do we? Okay. So anyway, that's my thought. What any thoughts about that? Did you feel any hope?

Brendan 2:21

No, well, I I mean, I think the thing is like especially like with how divided everything is now. Like, I think it's important for I think one of the mistakes that we as a party have made for a long time now is like ignoring what we think are quote unquote unwinnable parts of the country. And what's crazy, it's like, you know, like especially coming from Louisiana, like up until this last election, we had a democratic governor. Like people forget that. You know, I mean, granted, he is like a pro-life Democrat. Um anyway, um, but like a Democrat nonetheless, right? Or like you look at like a state like Texas, which until about like 15 years ago always had Democratic governors, like always like more Republican or more conservative Democrats, but Democrats, right? Yeah, Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas.

Vuyanzi 3:17

Yeah, yeah, it is easy to be a good thing.

Brendan 3:19

And I watched a video of him actually like from the debate, his debate with George H.W. Bush in his first election that he won. Um and I was just like, this man is from Arkansas, you know, he's up there like, you know, like we need to make sure that we're like bringing down costs of health care for like everyday Americans and blah blah blah. Like and I was just like, I feel like for some reason, I like I think the problem is us, right? Like I think we've gotten a little too all the things that people accuse us of, like being like elitist, like coastal bastards. Yeah. Um and you know, it's like, I mean, not to like, I mean, there's people that take it really far in that critique, but like I do think like we need to put our efforts into every election, right? Like we need to be running people in every election. Like there were even results that came back from um they had special election for a few state um legislature level roles in Mississippi. And like a lot of the the seats which were competitive, just like this one, yeah. Like when you looked at like where they would pull up like, well, the last elections results for this seat were there were at least three of them that last time the Democrats didn't even run a like a candidate. You know, like this idea that it's like we have to actually like show up if we want people to pay attention, right?

Vuyanzi 4:44

So you're saying this, and I'm feeling like just going back a few episodes ago, I shared with you how when I looked at my county, Rockland County, um in New York, all Republicans and even the the Democrat line on a couple of the um the the candidate was the same for both Democrats. But however, it's like wait, the Dems even put up anyone. And there used to be, um, at least when I was there, a strong influence of the Democratic Party, but what happened there? And so I love what you're saying about every election counts. Every election counts and how we show up in it counts, and stop maybe just writing it off, well, it's always it's been read for 15,000 years, we're not gonna do it. But I I love that. And and I'm wondering from this election, are Democrats on a whole coming back with that understanding that you're talking about? I know, I'm wondering. No, talk to me about what he's talking about.

Brendan 5:48

It's just, I mean, you know, like okay, okay, Brie. First of all, he like he supports so I don't know if you saw that Trump this week pardoned um the Democratic representative from the House of Reps who was like under criminal investigation. And Jeffrey was like, this is a great thing for the party. Um, so there was that.

Vuyanzi 6:12

Okay, do we have drinks? Maybe we should start drinking on this show when we come to this segment. Sorry, go ahead.

Brendan 6:17

But actually, you know, the thing, like, fuck how came Jeffree. Sorry, maybe I'm not supposed to say that. Yeah, you can bleep out that part. Um but one of the things that I actually found interesting is so since I was a kid, like growing up in New York, one of my favorite like third parties has always been the working families party. Love, love working families. Like you're talking about a party that's like right pretty much 100% of the time, it's them. Um, so for the first time in New Jersey, in New York, actually, working families holds a majority of the seats on the city council, and the mayor is also a working family.

Vuyanzi 6:57

Um, um, Ros Baraka? Is he still the no no no it's not? Okay, make sure you cut that part out.

Brendan 7:06

But like, so there are working families.

Vuyanzi 7:10

I love that.

Brendan 7:11

Oh, that's great. No, seriously, make sure you're good things are possible when you show up and vote, people. I know like that that's like not like the cute thing for like the Gen Z to say these days, but like it actually is important.

Vuyanzi 7:23

It does work.

Brendan 7:24

Oh, I feel so convicted for not doing it because I need to be quiet. I'll remind you for the next year until it's time for the next thing. Um okay, so also in Whose America is it anyway? This is about we're talking about like the crazy stuff that's going on in Venezuela. Is this the 85 people get in?

Vuyanzi 7:47

Well, not no in the sea, in the Caribbean Sea. They weren't they were off the coast. International water. They were, yeah. And no one still to this point, at least that we're recording this, no one knows if it was a drug boat. No one knows who who really was managing.

Brendan 8:06

Did you hear that they um there is there was like leaked, I forget if it was audio or transcripts, of the fact that basically the order that was given was like make sure everyone is dead. Yes, and they're because there were two like clinging to life.

Vuyanzi 8:20

They killed the people. It was like, oh god.

Brendan 8:24

You out here having like a Titanic moment, like I'll never let go, Jack.

Vuyanzi 8:29

That's the first thing, like people clinging to life. No, and it's not, and I know well the laughing isn't even for that, right? It's it's kind of like unbelievable.

Brendan 8:41

No, it's like we're literally like living in like Team America World Police. Remember that puppet movie that came out. Oh my gosh. Oh, like that's actually what's happening. Like it was parodying George Bush, but like now it's like we actually have it in Trump.

Vuyanzi 8:57

Good lord. And and here's the thing.

Brendan 8:59

Well, I'm sorry, continue on any thoughts you're having about it, because um well, I I mean it's just I feel like there's this crazy thing where like theoretically, you know, Republicans, well, everyone really loves to talk about this idea of like the rule of law, the rule of law, the rule of law. But right, but like the rule of law only works when you don't politicize the law. And so it's like when I look at something like a headline about this, juxtaposed with like the fact that they once again tried to indict Letitia, which like of course then got like a grand jury again declined to re like indict her. But it's like so this person, because they're actually like doing the right thing, now you want to weaponize the law against them. But then, you know, there's no like who like like there is so actually that was the other thing I was pissed about Hakima Bell declined to uh do any kind of effort to um impeach Hegel. So there's like a movement within the Democratic Party of reps that want to impeach, like starting to. He declined. And he was like, We're not doing that. Now I'm looking at him side out. So there's one of the Democrats who actually went around him and is gonna introduce the motion anyway. Okay, good. Because it's one of those where it's like, even if you don't think it's gonna win, like you need to show people that like there is something. Like you're going to at least attempt to hold this person accountable for what like basically they want to impeach him on grounds of like that he's guilty of murder. Yeah. Because of like that the the 85 people that were killed.

Vuyanzi 10:46

Um, okay, sidebar in reference to that, I think it's his church or something. I don't know if you see this on Instagram.

Brendan 10:52

There's a guy who's like, I don't even want to know what you're gonna say, but keep it.

Vuyanzi 10:57

No, he yells at them. He's cursing them out. He's like, you go to I think it's like the church or something. He's like, you Nazi. I can't say everything. He screams, what? You're you why are you here? Why are you not seeing motherfucker? I can't. I'm gonna end it there, but anyway, it's he's it's not doing anything but exposing people because he walks up to them, even if they're having they have no one is safe. They ain't safe, the ain't safe, they ain't safe. If they have their babies with them, they are not covering the baby. He's like, you're gonna teach your kid about this. Like this guy is rootless. But you sometimes you need that. So I believe that sometimes extremes may be a lot of necessary.

Brendan 11:40

In my in my mind, I'm like, if I could have half of these motherfuckers like at the dinner table, it'd be like, you know that scene in the color of purple where she curses him with the name? Or wait, it's like everything you dump to be already deaf to you, like I would curse them so their teeth start falling out until they get right with the word. Okay.

Vuyanzi 12:02

So what's better to me is having them at a table. And this was the untouchables. And that says when Robert De Niro is talking about enthusiasm. You gotta have enthusiasm. And he's walking with the bat, and then he comes up behind one, and I'll just leave it at that. You'll have to see the movie for the.

Brendan 12:26

You better have a red window after this day. Okay, but people deserve. Um anyway, uh yes, so so taking it back, so back to the theme. We try to change it. Which also relates to the other thing we usually talk about. But uh anyway, so we came here to Kenya thinking that we were gonna just like learn some new directions. But turns out we're looking at learning new ways to look at power, privilege, and politics, which I think even the stuff we were talking about with the the newness stuff. I I feel like in some ways being outside makes it a little bit easier to see like the forest for the trees.

Vuyanzi 13:19

A hundred percent. Um, it is, and and I oh gosh, I know we're transitioning, but I'll tell you this. When I moved abroad, for me, I was like, uh, I don't want to be involved in anything political. And of course, I'm here as a member of DACA. Um, and I find myself like wanting to be involved, so it's interesting, it is. But let's talk about crossing the road in Kenya.

Brendan 13:46

Girl, because when I first moved here, I mean, you know, well, actually no, really, it was when I first got my car, which at this point was almost two years ago. But you know, the thing is, like, I rented a car, I'd rented cars a few times, you know. I've driven in other drive-on-the-left countries, so it's like it's not like it was my first time. But I think it's because like I also rent cars when I go home to the States. It's like whenever I have to switch, there's always at least one time where I'm making like either a left or a right hand turn, and I just drive right like aggressively onto like the wrong side of like the oh god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, facing oncoming traffic. Yeah, like usually when there's nobody there, like it's like if I see you facing this man, no one's the wrong spot. But when I tell you like girl, my ooh, it it's like my brain.

Vuyanzi 14:45

I take that my hats off to you though, because of the fact that you even drive in this country. Uh, because I walk in it and crossing the road is I just did it again on the other day. I don't walk every day, but I just did it again with a friend of mine from the States, and um I know they could tell we're foreigners. Like, I I'm like I'm looking first of all, I originally started looking at the wrong side first. So where I'm looking, the cars are coming the opposite. The cars are coming the opposite.

Brendan 15:18

I mean, I've seen locals that do that sometimes. So I'm there like who and like we're here. I'm in the vehicle here. It's like you're worried about what them people are doing over there. You should be worried about me running you down.

Vuyanzi 15:31

And that's the thing. So even with now you I got the traffic pattern right, but even in crossing, I have to be careful of my friends, the boda bodists on the motorcycles, that because now that almost happened the other day. The car, the car stopped for us to cross, and then um the another boat was coming up that stopped, and then I'm like, come on, Michelle, and then she's like, be careful of that one, and then that one was coming from that way, Jesus. And I'm just like, please, everyone, we just want to cross the street. Yeah, so anyway, that's what's up, and and I will just say this, and I can explain more about Ubers later. But when I am in an Uber, let's just say my prayer life has been strengthened.

Brendan 16:15

And people have, but like, I fucking tell if you make a right. No, I'm not I know I I know you heard me. I'm on the back of the boat of point, like, no, tell me. And he's like, but and I'm like, uh-uh, we ain't going that way. Okay, I have nothing more to say when I'm on the back of the boat. Early intervention.

Vuyanzi 16:37

I just am on the back of the boat.

Brendan 16:38

What a dictating caller, a preemptive strength. Yeah. I see them being strength. I'm like, ah, don't think about it.

Vuyanzi 16:48

Maybe I just want to get to where I'm going and I want him to be happy when he takes me there.

Brendan 16:53

So maybe like, but it's funny because you remember like before the show we were talking about, like the how like GPS has made people like unable to know where things are. Yeah. When I tell it's like my brain's like a garbage. I'm like, uh, we're not going to be a garbage. And he's like, but the maps are, I'm like, you know, Google is crazy. Google BMC with this. Yes. Well, I mean, I'm telling them it's failing, but I'm still like, you know, this thing is crazy. It makes no sense.

Vuyanzi 17:24

They're like, okay, the Mizungu told me to go straight, so I go straight. You already know this.

Brendan 17:29

I mean, low key, they're like, you might, and I'm like, I know. Go that way. Oh, God. It didn't work.

Vuyanzi 17:34

So speaking of seeing the world differently, um, let's take a deep dive into this left, right, and center. So um you're talking about when as we're being abroad, it's easier to see the forest outside of the trees, right?

Brendan 17:51

Forest for the trees.

Vuyanzi 17:52

For the trees, yeah, that one. Um, I think I've been saying it wrong for decades.

Brendan 17:58

So normally is like the you use the negative, right? Because it's usually like she can't see the forest for the tree.

Vuyanzi 18:05

Right. So if we're outside of the forest, how are we seeing the trees? We can see it better because we're outside.

Brendan 18:13

Yeah. Like you can see how it all fits together.

Vuyanzi 18:16

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and that's how I feel. So, sorry, sorry, just a little digression there. So, so living abroad is working as a lost in translation. Yes, lost in translation. No, actually, we're not just there yet. Oh, there's a little monkey with a baby on her.

Brendan 18:38

Maybe live my best life until my apparagus disconnected.

Vuyanzi 18:42

Oh, right, because she's living her best life. Uh, so anyway, okay, so living abroad, it's really forcing me to confront some automatic assumptions. Um, I think, no, seriously, the baby's so cute. Look at the little tiny, she let the baby down and he's oh my god, so cute. He's so little you can't see him. Now he's tucked in or she's tucked in. Not that one. That one's wild. Oh, that one's gonna cut off the electricity. That's the juvenile delinquent. I love that. It's like a whole baby bird. Oh, geez, it's the whole thing. The big flappy tail. I know. Why don't they know how to walk properly?

Brendan 19:26

Oh, because they're like all over. You look at all ages. That's the jam. The other one was the martial MT.

Vuyanzi 19:35

Who's the managing director who had the um baby? Oh, there's a lot. How many of y'all up there? So I just want to, just for those of you because you can't see, we've counted like I think seven monkeys going across the wireless.

Brendan 19:48

There's like a great migration happening on the telephone wire outside.

Vuyanzi 19:52

This moment, um, where are they coming from? But you got a little far spectrum. That's the roof, but that's the rooftop of the block. Oh. They hang out on apparently the monkeys hang out on the road.

Brendan 20:04

Probably up there's the in our water.

Vuyanzi 20:06

And so, well, but it's my starling.

Brendan 20:11

That's why I don't use Starlake. Fuck Elon too.

Vuyanzi 20:14

Um Lori, okay. Let's let's come into the light and the automatic assumptions. Um, I'm trying to think of some that I had when I was here. However, okay, this is bad because I know I had assumptions. However, now when I hear people who make assumptions about living in Kenya, in Africa, really, I'm like, You gotta be ready to fight. How could they ever be ready to fight? How could they ever do that? So I remember um a friend of mine said her her daughter goes to a very prestigious school in the States. Let's just say it's a very prestigious school. And um in the performing arts, let's just leave it at that college.

Brendan 20:52

And so the world like bearing a damn to like one of three babies.

Vuyanzi 20:56

Okay, sorry. Uh so she went to like and the the uh counselor was talking to her, and the Kenyan student was saying how she something about swimming, and he said, Do you swim in the river?

Brendan 21:14

Yeah, I mean, to be clear, I do be flipping swimming at rivers, but I do that a little easier, you know, too.

Vuyanzi 21:20

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We know it was about it was like about I know, I know. He's like, Are you scared of the crocodile? The hip bone, you have to swim around them. Yeah, so anyway, but I'm trying to think about uh some assumptions, and I think in coming here, because I think we as Americans have this that everyone wants to come to America. Like people, everyone wants to move to America, and that's not true. Yeah, it's simply not true where even, you know, I've of course there's people who want to come, but I've met enough people that are like, no, I visited, it's fine. I haven't visited it in a kid.

Brendan 22:02

Like when if I go out on a date with someone, he's like, I don't even want to go there. I'm like, okay, now you one I need to talk to. Mama, you probably have similar worldviews.

Vuyanzi 22:13

It's it's a green flag. It's kind of a green flag. Uh okay, I won't say because I was gonna say I got a red flag today. No, but it's not red, it's not no, we'll have to find a better segment. Stop when your eyes look so creepy right now. Anyway, but okay, any assumptions for you on that side?

Brendan 22:41

I mean, uh, I think like I I don't even remember what we haven't talked about. Have we talked about like the the timeliness thing?

Vuyanzi 22:50

We we have American time and Kenyan time? I think so, but I don't care because I think it's something that I continue to talk about. Yeah, and it's hard not to talk about it.

Brendan 23:00

I like, I mean, the thing is, I I feel like coming from like the South, like we we often are always late to things too. Really? So it's kind of like uh, yeah.

Vuyanzi 23:11

I never thought about that in the South. I thought my grandparents from the South are so timely.

Brendan 23:15

Like the maybe it's just Louisiana, I don't know, but it's like the whole thing where it's like when you tell people like girl, I'm in traffic, but you like get in the shower.

Vuyanzi 23:26

Do people really do those extreme? I mean, because I'm I've been late.

Brendan 23:30

I don't like like I know like my friends from Atlanta always say like Atlanta people do that, but I feel like people in New Orleans and Bad Rouge do that too, because we got bad traffic too. So we always blame it on the traffic. Well, maybe like you knew the traffic was gonna be there, so like then you should have left early. Very interesting, but then also we use it as an excuse when we're like don't have our shit together, we run a late.

Vuyanzi 23:52

I I'd be curious if anyone in the audience feels like.

Brendan 23:55

I can't use that in my role people because everybody knows I take photo everywhere.

Vuyanzi 23:59

Yeah, and they go fast, but in the US, if you guys are watching this and you're like in the south versus the north, we'd love to hear from you about how you are viewing time because this is going to be a recurring that should be a recurring theme about time. Oh, what did you go to? What time did it start? Who was there? How late did they get?

Brendan 24:17

Well, it was funny because I feel like like in Louisiana, people would always joke about like, is it like white people time? Yeah, or now here people always ask me, like, oh, is it American term or Kenyan term? Yeah, absolutely. So it's like a very similar conversation, yes, yes, just like in a very different context, right?

Vuyanzi 24:34

And now, okay, I just want to say this part because this will come up. I am pushing people to be on because I'm pushing myself to be on time, I'm also pushing those around me.

Brendan 24:45

So I will say I always take I always tell people, I'm like, you know, within like five to ten minutes, like it's not like a big deal as long as you tell me. Yeah. Um, but I was telling someone the other day, I was like, the like the underlying message is that you don't value my time. And you think it's okay for me to say it wait for you. Like I got nothing else to do.

Vuyanzi 25:07

I and yeah, no, seriously. And and you know, when you start pushing people, you start saying things like that, because also it's helping you, I think you start to see a difference. So I went to a meeting this week where sometimes people come late and it's kind of laid back. And this week I was like, hey, you guys, this is what time it starts. And and so people were calling at the time, like if they were stuck in traffic, fine. But at least I'm starting to see to see a shift, and I'm seeing a shift in myself, most importantly, first. So, anyway, let's talk about lost in translation. That felt kind of like a lust in translation. I'm wondering if we should just leave that there. I think we can work with that. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, I feel like we're gonna need a like a um little music segment to bring this part in. Because this makes me feel happy. Queen Joy, Queen Joy. Okay, so uh we can always use that.

Brendan 25:58

Uh what's that for El Song? Joy, Joy, Joy.

Vuyanzi 26:02

Oh, that's real. I thought that was Kanye West.

Brendan 26:04

Is it? No. No, you're thinking of no. Okay, sorry, because it's acquired, so I just know about no, it's featuring for real. Joy, joy, joy, joy, it's featuring for I'm very I'm very sure it's a good idea. I'm very not sure who it is, so I trust them.

Vuyanzi 26:20

Oh, that's good. It's like sound great. Um, but my black joy moment, my friend from Philadelphia has been with me all week, and it's so good to have someone from home that you've known for years to be with you. And just last night, about last night, we had a time last night. But I had her meet the people, some of the people that I'm closer with here. So I and my it was it was my thing. It's so displaying. I'm just kidding. Brendan says so many things to me, and I'm like, no, he'll be like, I'm just kidding. I'm like, I think so. Anyway, that was my black joy this week. What about your queer joy?

Brendan 27:03

I'm trying to think of one that's appropriate for me to share on the internet.

Vuyanzi 27:07

Please, please, appropriate, please.

Brendan 27:09

Can we tell you all about how I was doing the day?

Vuyanzi 27:13

Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy.

Brendan 27:16

That's what the people there are saying. Well, I mean, it was my birthday.

Vuyanzi 27:26

Happy birthday to my man. Happy birthday, birds, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.

Brendan 27:35

Um, but no, I mean, it was nice. I had a nice birthday. I did a bunch of stuff. I spoke on like a panel with you and HCR in the morning. And we're rock climbing. Okay. Um you had a very eventful day. I'm just And I went off for my favorite to my favorite place up the street for dinner. There's a joke there, but because it's it's a meat, it's meat. It's a meat roasted meat restaurant.

Vuyanzi 28:06

Oh, by the way, speaking of places to eat, though, um, I had a joyful moment. I think the last time I came, those pastries, you told me about a place to go.

Brendan 28:16

Oh, the backlava?

Vuyanzi 28:17

Yeah.

Brendan 28:17

I went and got some. Yeah. It was great.

Vuyanzi 28:21

Thank you. Thank you.

Girl, y'all should have seen her face last time when she had the, what was it, the collard greens? I mean.

Vuyanzi 28:29

Yo, no, seriously. I'm gonna admit something on here, and this has nothing to do with any segment. And I actually meant to call my friend to tell her this. However, you I'm I'm so uh my black card may get taken away for saying this next thing. I wrote that to be bad, but I the way you make them, it's better than some in a well from me for a long time, better than some of my people from the south. And it's crazy because the other my other favorite greens were made by a white woman. I'm like, how could two of my favorite tasting collar creams be made by white people? They have totally disappointed me and made me happy at the same time. My black card will not be taken away, by the way. I mean so oh, and it's and it's really the fact also having them here in this country.

Brendan 29:33

I know, because when you put that first, you were like, you didn't make this with stuff from here, and I was like, I promise you, it's all ingredients from here.

Vuyanzi 29:40

Oh god, it was so good. I wish you guys could have some.

Brendan 29:42

But well, I think that has to do with our clothing here, which you know living here teaches and keeps teaching me that home shifts, and sometimes it's a place where no one expects you to be anything but yourself.

Vuyanzi 29:56

Yes, and and sometimes the biggest shift isn't left or right, it's really finding your center again in a place where you never expected. Until next time.

Stay curious, stay open, and it's always kisses from Kenya.
