Kisses from Kenya Episode 28: We Started This Episode VERY Wrong

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the best conversations are the ones that begin before anyone says, "Welcome to the show." This week, Brendan leaves Vuyanzi speechless with a conversation that goes somewhere no one expected. Then it's on to a global security warning for Americans abroad, a Trump speech that had the internet talking, Nancy Grace's latest headline-making case, cross-cultural moments that remind us why living in Kenya is never boring, and the joy that's keeping us smiling this week. Whether you're an American abroad, part of the African diaspora, or simply curious about life through a different cultural lens, Kisses from Kenya brings humor, perspective, and honest conversation from Nairobi to wherever you're listening. **Listen, subscribe, and share** If you enjoy conversations about language, identity, diaspora, and culture clash, subscribe for new episodes on a weekly(ish) schedule!
