The Life of a Kenyan Who is Never in Kenya

4 days ago

The colourful coded complexion of a summer day are coinciding the chaos of an internal indigo confession of a panicky new life. I’m 16 years old. I blink my eyes and I’m in a new country, I have new friends, and I am a different person. I’ve changed, they’ve changed, we’ve changed. A podcast investigating the Kenyan life abroad in laughs and a marvellous mix of people, prospects, and places. You don’t have to be Kenyan, young, old, travelled, male, female, straight. Just grab a cup of coffee and sit down with me. Hear - lies the story of a Kenyan traveler.
