“Utaolewa lini?” is a question Shix Kapienga has revealed she’s tired of hearing. She’s done with being asked about why, at 35 she’s still single with zero prospects on the horizon especially since it has been nearly over a year since she and her ex, comedian and political aspirant, MC Jesse went their separate ways and he is in a relationship that looks stable (for those of us looking in from the outside).

Never mind that there was the rumour back in the day that my mentor only just made me aware of, about how when they had first started dating, MC Jesse was a married man whom Shix had managed to snatch from his wife and the two couldn’t get enough of each other. Infact, they even dated for quite a while and many were wondering when they’d pull the trigger and get hitched.
But why, oh why, is Shix Kapienga still single and without children and why do Kenyans seem so invested in her marital status and womb?
Well, it is because we are still a conservative and traditional society and we still view success for women as them managing to become wives and then mothers and having successful families. That is why we celebrate the likes of Lulu Hassan and Wahu Kagwi.
We also are aware that at 35, most women begin to find conceiving children an entirely difficult and dangerous undertaking due to the reality of “geriatric pregnancy.”
