In Her Wake
In Her Wake
forests in the skies, created as she flies,
Lady Daedalus gravity defies.
Breaking barriers but not melting her wings,
she rises above low weighty things.
No Nobel awards, no late night talk shows.
She leaves us a little sparkle as she goes.

"I may not win a Nobel award, but hey here I am leaving my little sparkle as I go. I am creating forests as I fly’: Nyambura Kariuki, believed to be the first Kenyan woman to take up paragliding, says she was inspired by women who break barriers"
