Kenyan Blogger Named Among 100 Most Influential People in the World!

Time magazine has just announced the list of the top 100 most influential people in the world otherwise known as Time 100. Among the 100 is a Kenyan blogger and activist.

Ory Okolloh made the 2014 Time 100 Most Influential People in the World list!

The Time 100 is the magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and the issue features tributes written by high-profile guest contributors.

Ory is described in the issue as “The activist who helps Africans exercise their power”

Ory maintains the blog Mzalendo, providing an unprecedented look at the doings of Kenya’s parliament — information once unavailable to Kenyan citizens.

Her own blog is called Kenyan Pundit, and it tracks her work with Mzalendo and her other efforts as part of the rebuilding of Kenya, following the post-election violence in late 2007 (she collected a powerful series of diaries of the violence, dozens of essays from Kenyans and others – well worth a read).
