Diana Kemunto endeavors to provide a more comprehensive understanding of Nairobi’s vibrant social dynamics, a goal she feels Sauti Sol’s song “Nairobi” fell short of achieving.
In a conversation with Kenya Online Media (KOM), Kemunto, known as a ‘City Girl’ and emerging influencer, reflected on the aftermath of her widely-discussed revelations, which centered around the sensitive issue of individuals unknowingly transmitting HIV/AIDS.
Kemunto acknowledged that the immense reaction took a toll on her mental health, grappling with both internal struggles and online backlash from people misunderstanding her intentions.
She stressed that the confessions she shared were not her own experiences but rather anonymous narratives she shared, urging others to seek understanding before casting judgment.
Despite facing relentless criticism and derogatory comments, Kemunto encouraged young people to prioritize their sexual health, advocating for the use of protection or abstaining from risky behaviors.
She described ‘City Girls’ as young women deeply immersed in the party scene, seeking financial stability through various means, including relationships with older, affluent men, commonly known as ‘wababa.’
Kemunto, who claims to have played a role in popularizing this lifestyle trend, advised women to use it judiciously for personal growth and a successful future.
