On Monday afternoon, I arrived at Kotola Airport in Accra Ghana to attend regional conference on women's health where I spent the better of ten minutes explaining to the Immigration officer that I was an English speaking Kenyan and not a French speaking Senegalese. He looked at my passport suspiciously, insisting my height and skin tone place me as originating west and not east of the continent, but I managed to assure him that Kenya too has tall brown female citizens.
