Skai Jackson’s comment about Kenyans lacking mirrors follow the same playbook used by the so called missionaries and explorers whose mission was to portray Africa as backward, stupid and naive, while taking everything they could from this continent, including our resources, our knowledge and our art, only to later claim much of it as their own.
Centuries later, someone still thinks it’s ok to say a country lacks mirrors 😂
We need to be much quicker to call some of these people out. This savior mentality needs to end!!
And honestly, it’s incredibly ignorant to think a mirror is the only reflective object a human being can use to see themselves.
Tusikuone Kenya tena🚶🏿♀️🚶🏿♀️
Reminds me of the protest last year to commemorate the comrades this regime KILLED. Cops teargassed everyone including a hawker who couldn't walk. @QueenGathoni remember? And folks had to negotiate with Bata to let her be carried into their store.
I HATE this guy @WilliamsRuto.
How when you've blocked the roads? How?
And fuck that artwork.
Lives weren't lost.
Y'ALL KILLED KENYANS
for demanding better.
(Ata mimi lemme use caps like ng'ane.)
I just remembered how excited I was to stop using pencils and start writing with a pen in Primary 3. Funny how the smallest things felt like major milestones back then.
If only I knew 😭
