Corporate emceeing & moderation is a craft I’m mastering! @KoinangeJeff @LarryMadowo & @georgiendirangu set the bar high, but add Alan Herbert to the list—we’re levelling up! Worked with Safaricom, UNICEF & more… So, what’s next? Let’s talk growth & bigger stages! #dream

The GDS is the stage for disability inclusion! But what is it? What are commitments & why do they matter to OPDs? In this clip, Goldalyn Kakuya explains. Together, let’s localise the 2025 GDS commitments. #GDS2025 #DisabilityInclusion @UDPKenya @IDA_CRPD_Forum

Thoughts from my morning show on @SignsTvKenya @OgolaFogola Before we speak, act, or create we think. The right to think fuels freedom, innovation & growth. Silencing thought = silencing people. Protect free thought. Never suspend the right to think. #FreedomisInTheMind

In our climate work, the community said: "We want sun-protective wear that's also fashionable." Our ED @thealanherbert responded with a design: Detachable scarf (UV protection) Removable sleeves Bold art to raise #Albinism awareness Next: more colors, smoother sleeve joints!

Two panels. One message. At #IAAD2025, persons with albinism flipped the script: Women tackled beauty, confidence & inclusion. Men unpacked masculinity, stigma & vulnerability. Moderated by journalists without albinism - real conversations, raw truths. #AlbinismMatters.

How can OPD data shape policy? Last week we hosted @Open_Institute, @UDPKenya & others to explore this. A key takeaway: @KNBStats tools can help OPDs validate data for national use. Data is power. It’s how persons with disabilities won’t be left behind. #DataForInclusion

Fun fact: Watching all these incredible #GDS2025 posts from people I may not have met in person somehow makes them feel so familiar. Anyway, here’s my recap of what I was up to with the amazing team from @ADDInternational on Day 3 of the summit. Stay tuned—more updates!

For a while, I’ve advocated for the social inclusion of persons with albinism. But truth be told, sometimes I just want to be a regular guy—without the stares and whispers everywhere I go. See you tomorrow for a deeper conversation. #AfricaMediaFestival
Black Albinism@blackalbinism

Not everyone with albinism wants to be an activist—some just want to live, create & thrive. Faith Musyoki shall share about her journey of embracing identity beyond advocacy through community, culture & music. See you tomorrow! Check posters for details. #AfricaMediaFestival

Being a "small" digital creator is one thing—but being a non-typical creator is another. Standing out can work for you or against you. The journey is treacherous... Ask me or any non-typical creator—the stories are harrowing.
Black Albinism@blackalbinism

How do you stay authentic when online criticism tries to silence you? Sharon Ireri, a creative with albinism who’s faced dehumanizing comments yet continues to share her story. She’ll reveal how she navigates the digital space while staying true to her art. #AfricaMediaFestival

I've been asked my fair share of wild questions as a person with #albinism, but one stands out: "Alan, do you consider yourself a person with a disability?" Can you guess my answer? 🤔 Let’s talk about it at #AfricaMediaFestival2025!
Black Albinism@blackalbinism

Have you ever wanted to ask unfiltered questions to a person with #albinism but weren’t sure how? Tracy Ochieng has been there too! Catch her at #AfricaMediaFestival2025 as she shares insights on asking "The Unfiltered Questions" the right way. #InclusionMatters

As persons with albinism continue to face unprecedented dehumanizing comments on social media, this conversation couldn't be more timely. See you at the Kenya Museums!
Black Albinism@blackalbinism

We’re at #AfricaMediaFestival2025! Join our workshop "Can You See/Hear Us?" on using podcasting & social media to amplify voices & debunk myths about albinism. Let’s reshape digital narratives! Check posters for more details. #InclusionMatters #PodcastingForChange
