kenya's conjectures, narrated

The Pilot

We're revisiting The Pilot episode of The Office (USA) and the essay I wrote after my second corporate heartbreak. In this episode, I break down why Michael Scott feels familiar in a concerning way, how corporate culture can make you question your sanity, and how this show became a source of emotional support during real-life workplace chaos. If you’ve ever stared at your laptop wondering, “Is it me, or is this whole place unwell?” — you’re in the right place. ✨ Substack: kenyahunt.substack.com [http://kenyahunt.substack.com]📌 Pinterest: Corporate Camp [https://www.pinterest.com/kenyahunt11/corporate-camp/] + Burnt Out Beauty [https://www.pinterest.com/kenyahunt11/burnt-out-beauty/]📸 IG: @kenya_08 [http://www.instagram.com/kenya_08] | 🎬 TikTok: @notkenya_08 [http://www.tiktok.com/@notkenya_08] If this episode made you laugh, think, or feel seen, follow the show, leave a review, and send it to a friend plotting their work exit.

Grief Counseling

In this week’s audio essay, I unpack what it means to process loss without closure — exploring grief, isolation, and the need for witnesses. From Maya Angelou’s Caged Bird to Jimmy Kimmel’s industry resurrection to The Office’s iconic bird funeral, I weave together humor, heartbreak, and corporate absurdity to ask: what happens when no one shows up to mourn your loss? Mentioned in this episode: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Sympathy by Paul Lawrence Dunbar The Office (Season 3, Episode 4: “Grief Counseling”) Follow Me!📩 Subscribe to the newsletter: kenyahunt.substack.com [http://kenyahunt.substack.com]📸 Instagram: @kenya_08 [https://instagram.com/kenya_08]🎬 TikTok: @notkenya_08 [http://www.tiktok.com/@notkenya_08]🎞️ Letterboxd: @kenya_08 [https://letterboxd.com/kenya_08/] Also mentioned:🎃 The Spooky Movie Challenge — one scary film a day for the month of October.
