That Real Housewives of Nairobi trailer is so underwhelming but I’ll give it a chance. I’m already cringing at Susan telling that White woman that she is more Kenyan than actual Kenyans??😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫

The trailer is whack
And I only know two people
Telling a white woman she is more Kenyan than actual kenyans is why we need to bring small small shaming. Small small bullying. Small.
