Hush by Nicole Braddock Bromley

Nicole, who was molested by her step-father for 10 years, urged the public to break the silence. Most incidents of sexual abuse in the family are hushed, as family members choose to remain silent about the incidences. At 14, Nicole finally told her mother about the ongoing abuse. Acknowledging that not all mothers believe their children when they speak about the abuse, Nicole is thankful that her mother believed her.

The Media Diversity Centre (MDC) will officially open a content development centre in Murang’a region on 16 March 2010. This will be the sixth centre to be opened in the country as part of the MDC vision which is to promote the ideals of diversity within and through the media.

Currently the centre has 12 active members who are all correspondents working in the region. The centre will give the correspondents an opportunity to share in the ideals of journalism and more so a place to bring back their ideas through news and feature stories, contributing to the growth of the Reject online newspaper. Three other centres will be opened in Malindi, Mwingi and Narok later this year.
