On July 12, 2019, news anchor Muthoni wa Mukiri shared her personal story of being bullied in high school due to her pointed nose.
Her revelation came in response to a plea by Kambua, who asked guys to speak up about their bullying incidents after a student from Nairobi School was assaulted by prefects and left so traumatized he couldn’t name the culprits.
‘My heart broke when I heard the news about the boy from Nairobi School nursing a brain injury. But his is just one of many horror stories we keep hearing of. Bullying should have no place in our schools?,’ Kambua wrote.
Replying to Kambua’s post, Muthoni wa Mukiri disclosed that she was bullied in high school because of her nose but she eventually came to love it.
‘I was bullied coz I have a pointed nose. Imagine! I hated my nose until after Highschool when I realized it’s beautiful and I came to love it. I think it’s the most beautiful feature on my face,’ wrote Muthoni.
