On the morning of Friday, September 20, I had one thing on my mind: finally experiencing just how steep Kingara Road really is. I’d seen a video online of a truck trying—and failing—to make it up the hill, reversing unintentionally as the vehicles behind it scattered.

With New Money, featuring Ruth Nyambura, Maina Munene, and headliner Vafa Naraghi happening at Nairobi Laugh Bar, which just happens to be on Kingara Road, I had planned to take a bodaboda for the full experience of the hill’s incline.
