#AmKenyan 1. Let me start by saying I am extremely pissed off by mainstream media reporting the story of a woman who was asked to go breastfeed in the TOILET without naming the restaurant! SHAME ON YOU! #BreastFeedingIsARight and that is why #WeMustProtest #KOT

#AmKenyan 2. Breastfeeding is a partnership between the child and mother. It has different phases that can be JOYFUL, PAINFUL, FRUSTRATING or DEPRESSING. When it is really bad, a mother SCREAMS or nurses NIPPLE WOUNDS and MASTITIS. #WeMustProtest

#AmKenyan 3. MASTITIS: For those who grew up MASHAMBANI, and had to wake up at 4.30 a.m to milk cows like I did. We most likely know this infection as something that happens to COWS. Women get it too when they do not breastfeed. #BreastFeedingIsARight #WeMustProtest #KOT
#AmKenyan 4. Why am I saying #WeMustProtest ? A young woman walked into OLIVE RESTAURANT for a meal. Her child needed to feed. The waiters stopped her and asked her to go to the TOILET because she should not breastfeed in public #BreastFeedingIsARight #KOT
#AmKenyan 5. Waiters who were MOST LIKELY breastfed (We cannot assume they were) asked a mother to go to the TOILET to feed her child because in their misguided view, she had no right to feed her child IN PUBLIC at OLIVE RESTAURANT. #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsARight #KOT
#AmKenyan 6. The reason why this totally pisses me off is because I know what it means to create a breastfeeding PARTNERSHIP with babies and what having RAW BLEEDING WOUNDS on NIPPLES plus baby still has to feed feels like. *SHIVERS* #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsRight #KOT
#AmKenyan 7. Doctors encourage us to start breastfeeding within the FIRST one hour of birth. Mothers, in their different stages of recovery, do their best to perfect the LATCH. Latch is an electronic term that means FASTEN. For many it's HARD #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsARight
#AmKenyan 8. I have experienced different levels of breastfeeding ANGUISH. The RAW BLEEDING NIPPLES and BREASTS WITH ZERO MILK. I had to deal with people around me who REFUSED to understand the pain and fear mothers go through. #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsARight #KOT
#AmKenyan 9. Breastfeeding is a GIFT. It creates BONDS between mothers and their babies. Every time our babies are on our breasts, they look us deep in the eyes and we experience moments of emotional exchange that only breastfeeding give #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsARight #KOT
#AmKenyan 10. It is why I am calling on all available mothers to come make a statement on Tuesday next week. We meet at FREEDOM CORNER UHURU PARK at 8 am. Not just mothers. Dads, Brothers, Sisters too. WE DID #ENDKNHRot WE CAN DO THIS! #BreastFeedingIsARight #WeMustProtest
#AmKenyan 11. The protest will start at FREEDOM CORNER, where ALL TRUE SOCIAL JUSTICE PROTESTS begin and end at OLIVE RESTAURANT. We need to love ourselves enough to FIGHT for our RIGHTS. Our children deserve to breast feed at will. #KOT #BreastFeedingIsARight #WeMustProtest
#AmKenyan 12. There is always that one dark mind that is sent to you, to show you why you must continue to fight. #WeMustProtest #BreastFeedingIsARight #KOT 
#AmKenyan 14. Olive restaurant. No apology. No remorse. But we do note the "These consequences cut both ways" line. Just for the record the statement read by Koros attempting to stop #EndKNHRot was more intimidating than this.. And we still marched! #KOT #BreastFeedingIsARight
#AmKenyan Olive restaurant suddenly realises #BreastFeedingIsARight after their earlier arrogant statement
