On December 28, 2019, Kenyan celebrities Akothee and Zari took a bold stance against the derogatory term 'malaya', used to insult women.
Both Akothee and Zari have been on the receiving end of such insults, with their wealth often attributed to the men in their lives.
However, the two single mothers have chosen to address the issue head-on, calling out the 'trash human beings' who use this language.
As they pointed out, gossip has historically played a significant role in society, serving as a unifying force within families, villages, and communities.
