YOUNG KENYAN AUTHOR FEATURED IN NEW DOCUMENTARY

“POPULATION BOOM”

- Advertisement -

Author Ndirangu Mwaura is the youthful writer of Kenya Today: Breaking the yoke of colonialism, Algora Publishing, New York, 2005. A book he wrote at the age of 19. In this work he discusses, rather profoundly, African Development issues from a nationalistic viewpoint advocating for immediate industrialization and decrying the self rejecting nature of current western aping Africans.
Due to this work, and especially his controversial thesis on population, Austrian film maker Werner Boothe decided that Ndirangu had to be on his eminent panel of featured intellectuals, industrialists and global policy shapers carefully selected to give specialist opinions on his documentary “Population Boom” which was released on September 20, 2013. It has been nominated and won several international awards.

Kenyan in New York reveals she met boyfriend through twitter Malaika Firth, 20, is a Kenyan-born, London-bred model, now based in New York. She came to prominence in 2013, when she became the first black model to front a Prada campaign since Naomi Campbell in 1994. Since then she has become a face of Burberry, Marc Jacobs’s Daisy fragrance and Valentino.

Home
To me, home is wherever there is love and happiness. I was born in Mombasa, Kenya, which is so beautiful and green, then moved to Barking, east London, when I was seven. I’m based in New York now, where I live with my boyfriend, so that’s probably the place I feel most at home. There’s a huge buzz over there. The mood is so different to London – everyone is hyper.

Acting
I love acting. I studied it at school for my GCSEs and I wanted to be an actress. I used to go to the theatre every Saturday and I thought that was going to be my life. I watch movies now and wish I was in them; it’s something I can see myself doing in the future. I like the idea of being a comedic actress, but you have to really put yourself out there and make yourself look stupid.

Personal style
I didn’t like clothes before I was a model. I dressed like a clown in colourful clothes and had a huge collection of trainers. I used to hate shopping. My mum would drag me to the shops but I’d just be looking in the mirror, dancing. Now I mostly wear black. If it’s not black it’s grey; if it’s not grey it’s navy. I try to be more sophisticated – I think the transition has been a part of growing up.
