Thanks for sharing MIMI!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Kudos to the campaign; really good work!!! I wish them the best.
To the Kenyans who read this post, I have a question. Is this an accurate depiction of modern day Nairobi or is it an American version of what Kenyan youth culture is about?
There are some hot men in this show. Good lawd!
LOL @ "Furahiday"
@honeybfly the series is as authentic as an equivalent American series about young adults. We are not all sleeping around and partying hard, that's all part of the dramatization that writers add to make the show interesting, but of course the issues that the show touches on are very real. It's time to be open about HIV so let's start talking instead of pretending that this isn't a problem that could affect anyone
hii series ni safi sana
Yes! I've been following the hype on FB and was wondering how those of us in the US would catch up. The message is spot on! I'm ready for more episodes.
Their Swahili is so broken!!
If this is how folks are behaving, can we really be surprised at the rate of HIV/AIDS? I wish they explored the other methods of transmission, like sharing needles.
one episode and i'm hooked already! fab picture quality. how can i see this in the UK?
ngum
Take note, David Omwange is here to stay. Anyone know where I can get the soundtrack to Shuga?
@ mamiafrika, its more of street slang and colloquial swahili that the youth mainly speak in Nairobi.
I think the series is a snapshot of how the urban kenyan social scene may contribute to the spread of HIV. Kudos!
