How Kate Actress uses her platforms for activism
Beyond the screens, the award-winning actress is also known for her impactful work in activism, adding her voice to national conversations and showing up when it matters.
At a time when many celebrities were shying away from declaring their stand on protests that rocked the country in 2024, jumping on the # RejectFinanceBill trend and terming the tax proposals as punitive.
As many other celebrities watched from the sidelines when Kenyans took to the streets to protest against rampant abductions, with the government of President William Ruto under pressure, Kate Actress boldly declared support for the push to end the abductions.
She also uses her platform to champion women’s empowerment, mental health awareness, and the fight against gender-based violence.
