We showed popular media personalities a small part of a picture that depicted a negative view they had of Kenya. Then we showed them the entire picture and revealed a more positive view to their surprise.
We recorded them and used their experience to share the revelation with the rest of Kenya.
We then asked them to join us by sharing captivating pictures of Kenya wherever they were with the #ThisIsMyKenya.
