“Unajua kuna deep state” “Ata nikipiga kura haita matter” “Politicians only run for office to make money” This you? Let’s discuss how leadership affects human rights with our May #AmnestyBookClubKE read, The Havoc of Choice, on June 3rd. #ChambuaUongozi amnesty.or.ke/book_club

🙌🏿 Congrats to @Lupita_Nyongo, who just released her debut children's book #Sulwe in her home country via the Kenyan publishing house @BunkBooks. The book, which draws from her childhood experiences, addresses colorism and the power of self-love.

#Sulwe is coming home! You can now find editions in Kenya in English, Swahili & my mother tongue, Luo. My childhood inspired Sulwe's story. I hope its message can travel the world for readers of all ages, but it's especially meaningful to bring it home! 🇰🇪 #SulweHomecoming
