Diana’s journey began in a world of both pain and deep love. “Growing up as a Maasai girl meant enduring things you couldn’t even speak about,” she says quietly. “I knew I couldn’t change the past, but I could do something to change the future.”
Her childhood was defined by silence; it was a cultural expectation that girls should endure hardships without questioning tradition. However, Diana challenged this norm and today, through her foundation, Nailepu, she empowers others to do the same. “I didn’t have a safe space growing up. That’s why I created one,’ she explains.
