Being a Woman in Kenya Part 1 #KenyaRapeCulture by @TheMumBi

A first date, figuring him out by @Kawiria

The other day, a mutual friend I share with the boyfriend and who’s one of my best friends asked me, “how did you know he was serious?”The question did catch me off-guard and all I responded was, "he told me so".
