Chris Muriithi reflects on their experience of being outed online, noting the fear, grief, and anxiety that came with it, emphasizing the societal dangers for LGBTQ+ individuals in Kenya.
Muriithi's decision to publicly embrace their identity was transformative, leading them to find community, yet the threats of ostracization and violence lingered in Kenyan society.
As a prominent LGBTQ+ activist, Muriithi launched the Queer & Allied Chamber of Commerce Africa, aimed at enhancing LGBTQ+ economic empowerment and social inclusion across the continent.
Muriithi describes QACC as a groundbreaking platform for queer entrepreneurs, likening it to 'LinkedIn meets eBay,' facilitating connection and commerce within the LGBTQ+ community.
