Now I curate my content and package it so I can make money from it."

“We are getting there. Have you watched Single Kiasi? People should start getting comfortable (with such scenes) in Kenyan movies. Aren’t you guys kissing in your houses? You are not making love in your houses. Why do you draw the line when black actors are? That is a white mentality. Who said it’s not sexy when Africans make out? Why do we become judgmental when we show you on screens what you do in your bedrooms? Kenyans need to get comfortable with expressing love. It’s not about culture in that, it’s just an expression of love,” says Ms Nyokabi. Read More: https://nairobinews.nation.africa/actress-nyokabi-macharia-defends-sex-scenes-in-kenyan-films/
