This week Kenya upheld the colonial era law that criminalized homosexuality. The Penal Code section 162 was enacted when Kenya was still under colonial British rule. The Brits themselves have long removed it from their statutes. I wrote this in 2014 after the late Binyavanga Wainaina came out to harsh criticism in Kenya and it rings true today especially for my fellow Kenyans. This week, news broke of Binyavanga’s too-early death in Nairobi. "I am a big fan of Binyavanga and of other LGBT Africans who live, love and work in our continent, particularly in Uganda and Nigeria - to come out in Africa today is courageous, as it is to risk personal injury, imprisonment and even death in many other countries. I see the overwhelming homophobia, ignorance and intolerance from folks who normally use FB to share encouragement, preach love and make Christ and the Gospel known - as well as from people who do not ascribe to any religion or theology - I will pray for many things. Including: Safe passage, and security for LGBT folks here and abroad and a long life with health, love and laughter to counter the hate; Peace of mind for those who cannot love their neighbors and follow their faith at the same time; And lots of lozenges, to help those who have not yet found their words of support to be able to share them online, and in person. With my fellow Anglican, Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu - I say: "The Jesus I worship is not likely to collaborate with those who vilify and persecute an already oppressed minority. I myself could not have opposed the injustice of penalizing people for something about which they could do nothing -- their race -- and then have kept quiet as women were being penalized for something they could do nothing about -- their gender; hence my support for the ordination of women to the priesthood and the episcopate. Equally, I cannot keep quiet while people are being penalized for something about which they can do nothing -- their sexuality. To discriminate against our sisters and brothers who are lesbian or gay on grounds of their sexual orientation for me is as totally unacceptable and unjust as apartheid ever was." #repeal162 #lgbt #kenya #christ

Might spend a lifetime doing all the things. I would rather spend it doing the right ones. @heyamberrae gets me. #wisewords #reflection #bethechange #dotherightthing #socialchange #charity #nonprofits #ngo #ingo #changemakers #giving #work

One of the biggest speed bumps is confidence. I just saw @mspackyetti TED 2019 talk and it powerfully addresses why confidence matters.Delivered by one of this generation’s greats, Brittany Packnett, whose grasp of today’s education, society and movement building is reknowned. #confidence #ted2019 #600k #almost1million #black #blackgirlmagic #activist #education #movementbuilding #blacklivesmatter #wisewords #wisewordsoftheday #instawisdom #igersusa

It is a rare treat to have visited a UNESCO world heritage city like Modica in Sicily. The view finder here is at the top of the city and if you look inside you can see right up to the cathedral. #sustainable #unesco #heritage #history #modica #sicily #instatravel #instaitalia #kenyan #tourism #learningtour #italy #ciao

This is a crisis! Thank you @guardian for this intentional step to clarifying this crisis #climatechange #climatecrisis #globalheating #globalwarming #klimaschutz #climate #climatebrave

Alongside caring for the world around me, I am always learning about health (public health graduate 🎓) and especially preventative skincare. Got to read this @cnn article via @dr.corhart and it really gave a great snapshot of skincare all year round. Go and follow him for more dermatology insights. #dermatologist #skincare #skin #notanad #cnn #publichealth
