Just spent the morning watching the Prof. Wangari Maathai documentary I made for MNet in 2009. What a glorious and powerful woman.

Got to rewatch 's PUMZI which has absolutely held up. Later she talked to the room full of FANS about her journey thus far, forthcoming work in #WashingtonBlack, took a minute to parent from the stage & big up her 5⭐ support system. 🥰🥰🤗🤗✨✨✨

"Rwanda last month put in place the Sex Offender Register, which is accessible on the national prosecutor’s website. The campaigners are hopeful that the public naming and shaming will be an effective tool to decisively deal with sexual violence, including teenage pregnancy."

One of the most powerful quotes I’ve ever heard was that “pain moves through families over generations until someone is ready to feel it.”
Shout out to everyone forming the front line against generational trauma and refusing to let it dictate the course of your lives.
Respect.

Sleeping hungry, corruption, femicide and GBV rates, violent homophobia, ableism, ageism, besides a million other things in 🇰🇪, are all akchwally demeaning to Christianity...
Yet nobody's banning daily TV news.

Freedom of expression is exactly that. Freedom. To choose to watch or not to watch. To allow people to live, love, breathe without interference. Denial or attempted erasure of people has no place in a country whose national motto is Peace, Love & Unity.

Despite the restricted rating of #Iamsamuel by @InfoKFCB in Kenyan, we appreciate the overwhelming support given to our story of love, family and affirmation.
