A huge congratulations to Dr Eda J.B. Tatu on the publication of her thoughtful article in today's Standard.

Titled, "Stop lying to mothers; there’s nothing like safe abortion," the story offers a powerful and thoughtful perspective on the fallacies of "safe abortion".

Dr Tatu, your commitment to your convictions and your courage in using your voice to advocate for mothers are a true inspiration. This is a significant contribution to the national conversation, and we are all cheering you on!

Well done, Dr Tatu. Thank you for your bold thought leadership.

Big congratulations to our very own Paulie Mugure Mugo on the publication of her latest article!

Paulie is sounding the alarm on a crucial legislative issue: the Religious Organisations Bill, 2024. She reminds us that the Church has always been a "bridge" between the electorate and leaders, and warns that broad wording in the new Bill could criminalize vital civic education.

Paulie, your dedication and drive to see a more informed, active citizenry is truly inspiring.

Thank you for using your platform to speak truth to power!

You only need four steps to craft a persuasive, influential Op-Ed that editors and readers can’t resist.

Here’s the formula I’ve seen work time and time again:

1. Start with a hook: Grab attention from the first line.

Make readers pause and think: “I need to read this.”

2. Present the problem – clearly, concisely, and without fluff.

Let your audience understand why this matters.

3. Offer insight or analysis: This is where you show your expertise.

Support your argument with credible evidence, real examples, or expert perspectives.

This is how you earn trust and make your piece stand out.

4. Propose a solution: Don’t just point out what’s wrong. Show a better path forward. Give readers a takeaway they can act on or reflect on.

Keep it tight.

Keep it purposeful.

Keep it readable.

That’s how you write to be heard and remembered.

THIS is what you'll be missing.

We're showing you this success story and published Op-Ed from the previous cohort for one reason: To show you the incredible opportunities you'll miss if you don't join us.

Here is what Rosebella Ototo, a Cohort 11 graduand, had to say:

“I used to think writing was for those who'd been practising for years. After completing the Op-Ed writing course, I now understand that if you have a story, as long as you know how to tell it, there's always an audience for it.”

Rosebella published two articles in The Standard newspaper while doing the course.

Stop wondering "what if" and start saying: "I did it."

This isn't just a course; it's the launchpad for your professional dreams. This is your last chance this year to join an array of professionals eager to build their thought leadership and personal brand through our opinion writing course.
