The
vlog follows the media personality's quest for fun and the unknown away
from the radio booth as she discovers Kenyan treasures from interesting
personalities, hidden restaurants, culinary delights, new music,
dance...basically anything you did not know.
Her
recent video is very interesting, Adelle teamed up with ALWAYS for the
#Always4TheGirl campaign. They have taken on the task of demystifying
conversations around menstruation - especially with kids hitting
puberty. I love that we are FINALLY having open discussions on this. She
teamed up with Harlequins' David Ambunya, Pius Shiundu and Lyle
Asiligwa.
The
Kiss FM's breakfast co-host says the response from viewers of her
YouTube videos has “been overwhelming! I thought the response would be
gradual but now in 5 hours my episodes get over 10,000 views on Facebook and a lot of love and I'm truly appreciative!”
“We have made it something to be
ashamed of, to hide, to talk about in closed rooms and hush tones. When
it's something to celebrate. And by having these conversations we also
have to include men. Men around me claimed they feel left out because we
women never involve them in the conversations. So this episode we
strapped some rugby players in pads and quizzed them on periods. If they
got the questions wrong there were watery consequences!” Adelle
explained.
Adding, “I also spoke to a Kenyan couple, actor Lenana Kariba and Lulu to see how periods affect relationships.”
The
highlight of the shoot was learning that “there's nothing to cringe
about but everything to celebrate when it comes to periods. Also, if we
open up the conversation then girls and ladies can ask each other
questions!”
Adelle continued, “Oh man the wrong
answers. Some guys didn't know what PMS stands for which showed how
badly we've silenced convos around periods. Also meeting men who donate
pads to girls who can't afford pads! That was powerful!”
