In Kenya, the weight of prejudice manifests in many forms. From Peninah Kilunja, a 60-year-old seamstress in Makueni, who battles societal rejection due to albinism, to Mohammed Malicha in Mathare, who faces profiling for his Muslim name and appearance, we explore the deep-rooted biases that have shaped these two lives, and ask how this kind of intersectional discrimination affects others in similar situations. Produced in partnership with the Human Is My Identity Alliance, we examine how poverty, disability, religion, and identity intersect and ask, how can Kenya move towards true inclusion? – Coming Soon!
