Nearly a week ago, a brave young Kenyan woman came out to the world.
On a phenomenally popular platform, she told the world she was gay; that she loved women and not men; and that she was happy with who she was and nothing was going to stop her from living her truth. I watched the clip, fascinated by her articulate manner, but more so her bravery. Her undeniable presence and the way her face sparkled as she told her story, pausing intermittently to let the weight of her words sink into the minds of her audience, was novel, to say the least.
