That Mpenzi Chokuu has come a long way is not in doubt. From being sexually abused by an uncle to singing in a teenagers’ choir to finding his way in Germany, where he is openly gay and happy.
In the late ’90s, a young man by the name of Sammy Owiya joined a teenagers’ choir in an Anglican church located in Mombasa West.

Sources who spoke to GOTTA.news and asked for anonymity described Owiya as a young man who was more popular with girls than boys.
“Boys used to call him Sammy Boy, the “boy” for emphasis, because he seemed to prefer the company of girls over boys even back then.” He could also catwalk “better than most of us,” according to a woman who spoke to GOTTA.news on the condition of anonymity.
The source further said Sammy was polite and never got into an altercation with anyone.
“The other boys would occasionally get into trouble for vibing the girls. But he was different. “Girls were less judgmental about his walking style and his feminine mannerisms,” said another source who was also in the same teen’s class as Mpenzi Chokuu.
In 2017, Mpenzi Chokuu opened up about suffering abuse while staying with his uncle.

“A time like today, I was raped, insulted, and thrown out of my uncle’s house. They laughed at me, the people who I thought were supposed to protect me,” he wrote on July 22, 2017.
He further disclosed going through depression before eventually learning to “love his natural skin.”
“This is one of the reasons I never want to talk to my family members again! I was ashamed of my body. “Today I am a strong survivor and I love my natural skin,” said Mpenzi Chokuu.
Chokuu is a target of social media trolls, whom he has told off on several occasions.
In recent days, Chokuu has mutated into an advocate for women’s rights, speaking against violence against women and transwomen.

“If you see somebody Baby Daddy not doing sh*t for their Child, not even trying to spend time or be in his child’s life. How the F*ck can you as a woman date him? Let alone get pregnant by the Mutha***** then lay your *** up under him knowing he got some of y’all bitches Foul and been foul, but you know everybody ain’t going to like or feel this status because they know the bitch I’m talking about,” wrote Mpenzi Chokuu.
