IN THE SHADOWS OF TRADITION

In the traditional African culture folk stories, wizards existed, gods where worshipped and many other rituals we prefer to take as myths since we never experienced them. I tell a story of the first light skinned woman among the Akamba a tribe in the eastern province now Makueni, Machakos and Kitui counties of Kenya. Discriminated and outcast by the society and later a death penalty issued when she gives birth to light skinned twins.
