Nairobi, Kenya…its surreal to finally be on the African
continent, yet at the same time the most normal thing. I walked down the
streets of Nairobi with 2 others feeling safe…feeling at home around people
without “white� skin. Thoughts flood my mind but they are too scattered to blog
them all fully.
