'I wish I'd started earlier'- Wanjeri Nderu speaks on activism

Achieving Woman

Wanjeri Nderu can really get a person going. Whether she is talking to you alone or to a park full of protesters, she can whip up emotions just by her manner of speaking and her passion.

That’s exactly what happened when we, myself and two other people, had a conversation with her. We became unhappy about certain issues, some of which we had never given much thought.

She can talk about anything with sustained energy; so by the time we are done, our conversation has run the gamut from how to milk a cow, how we are still colonised, her unusual yet enviable upbringing to the unenviable things she has been through because of her chosen career: activism.
