Binyavanga Wainaina didn’t just come out, he did it in style

If Wikipedia decided it was worth to put my bio in their “free encyclopedia”, I would share a few “keywords” with Kenneth Binyavanga Wainaina.

We were both born in Nakuru in the ‘70s and attended primary schools in the town around the same time. He “became” a journalist and I found that I was one as well. But then in 2002, he won the Caine Prize, one of the most coveted writing awards, for his short story “Discovering Home.”
