This is the most unfiltered interview of Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba.
According to Wikipedia "Gloria Orwoba is a Kenyan politician who has served as a nominated Senator representing women in the Senate of Kenya since 2022. In 2023, she received international press attention when an apparent blood stain on her trousers caused by menstruation prompted the Senate President to ask her to leave the chamber.."This momentous part of Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba's story would catapult her to international fame and make her the poster child for menstrual hygiene equality and advocacy. Not one to shy away from picking a fight or a showdown, this is her story in her own words, unabashed. Sen. Gloria takes no prisoners including her fellow leaders and politicians and isn't shy to poke fun at herself. Away from the titles, who is GLORIA ORWOBA? Who is she really?

If you think the Gen Z generation is hard to understand then you need to sit down and listen to this conversation with Solo and maybe you will learn something.
Maybe, what is stopping you and I from understanding Gen Z is the same reason generations older than us, didn't catch up on who we really are.
Gen Zs all over the world seem universal but they are indeed homogenous. In my pursuit to understand Gen Zs in Kenya, I sat down with Solomon Njuguna to understand, what it means to be a Gen Z in Kenya.
Solo is an IT specialist and has worked for large Kenyan corporation, he definitely has a thing or two to say about what it means to be an employed Gen Z and also how he navigates Gen Z stereotypes and prejudices.
Next time, before you group all Gen Zs in one box, remember this conversation.
