Messania's Story
A childhood filled with laughter and friends, singing and games-cut short by the circumciser's knife. Growing up, Messania walked the same path as many young girls from Africa; undergoing female genital mutilation to make her marriageable to a stranger many years older than herself. From her Kenya home, Messania tells the story of how she found the determination to escape abuse, challenge harmful cultural norms, and sing a new song of freedom for herself and other young girls everywhere.
