Description

Kisses from Kenya is a social podcast hosted by Brendan and Vuyanzi, two Americans living in Nairobi who see the world through different identities, but share a love of fun chats and tender honesty. One is a gay white American, the other is a Black American, both learning what it means to live far from home while carrying everything that shaped them.

Here you will find candid conversations about identity shifts, contradictions, and the odd freedom that comes from living beyond the USA but never escaping it.

It is funny, thoughtful, occasionally chaotic, and always grounded in lived experience. 

Kisses from Kenya is produced by Democrats Abroad Kenya, but this channel is a social space for personal stories and reflections. Nothing said here represents the official positions of Democrats Abroad Kenya, Democrats Abroad global, or the Democratic Party.

New episodes weekly(ish) on all Podcast platforms and YouTube. Stay with us as we explore what it means to love, live, vote, and reinvent ourselves a long way from home!

Send us Fan Mail Ep 36: Brendan Got Honest About Sex... Then Vuyanzi Got Mad | Kisses from Kenya Description Brendan admits something about sex that Vuyanzi definitely wasn't expecting—and that's only the beginning. This week, we're talking bodies, social anxiety, performative outrage, relationship expectations, and one misunderstanding between the two of us that got a little more personal than expected.

Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 35: AI Privacy... What Did We Give Away? Long before AI began learning everything about us, we were volunteering personal data online with very few questions. Now artificial intelligence can analyze, combine, and draw conclusions from information we may not even remember sharing. Who controls our personal data once we click “I agree”—and did we ever understand what we were consenting to? Vuyanzi and Brendan revisit early Facebook, accidental heartbreak, and the digita...
Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 34: Why Americans Distrust Both Parties Democrats distrust Republicans. Republicans distrust Democrats. Increasingly, Americans distrust both major political parties. So where does that leave everyone else? In a deeply polarized American political system, is finding common ground an act of courage—or a convenient way to avoid standing for something? Vuyanzi and Brendan enter the debate before moving on to offbeat church clapping, questionable horror classifications, s...
Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 33: Is American Democracy in Crisis? The United States has invaded countries, disrupted governments, and justified wars in the name of democracy. Now, many Americans are asking whether democracy is even working at home. What exactly are we defending—and what are ordinary people supposed to do when the system feels like trash? Before Vuyanzi and Brendan attempt to rescue American democracy, however, there is the matter of a grown man who appears to be seeking a texting...
Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 32: The New Rules of Weight Loss Ozempic and GLP-1 weight-loss medications are changing more than bodies. They are changing how we talk about health, fitness, willpower—and who gets to be considered attractive. But if the weight comes off, does that automatically make someone healthier? And why are we so invested in how another person loses it? Vuyanzi and Brendan step onto the scale. Things get personal. Support the show About the show Kisses from Kenya is a social...
