An Oyinbo man has taken to social media to recount how he fell in love with an African woman.
The man named Brian is married to a Kenyan woman.
Brian reveals that his adventure began about 12 years ago when he arrived in Kenya and established Arrive Kenya.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting street children and orphans by building schools and orphanages in western Kenya.
Reflecting on his mission, the American man spoke passionately about the impact of their work.
“Arrive Kenya.org helps street children and orphans. We built schools and orphanages in western Kenya, where I lived for six years,” he said.
The couple went on to reveal how they first crossed paths.
“Brian and I met through our friend Susan, who was an intern at his project in Migori, Kenya, and her home was near mine. We were both working on FGM near our home, and she thought we would be good for each other. She gave him my number when I was on a cultural exchange program in Ethiopia, and he started talking to me in Kiswahili,” she recalled.
Their relationship blossomed as they spent time together, going on numerous dates and eventually falling in love.
“We walked across East Africa on foot for 58 days; that is Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. You get to know someone so much after being with them and traveling with them,” Brian said.
When Brian introduced Selina to his family in the United States, he said;
“My parents loved Selina. She has met them and my brother. She has been to America three times. The first time I met Selina’s father, he put a blanket over my head like he was going to tell me a secret and just spat on my face. I was blown away; I later came to know it was a blessing.”
