Anita Nderu came out as a member of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community in 2020, a year later she was suddenly straight and even got married.
Nderu shocked many people in September 2020 when she revealed that she was a member of LGBTQ+ and that she had been stigmatized.
“I hope my kids never have to go through what I have gone through for being LGBTQ+,” Anita Nderu tweeted.

Anita Nderu however became straight in 2021 when she met mzungu sweetheart Barrett Raftery whom she married in October last year.
Anita Nderu has since faced accusations of being paid to support homosexual community in Kenya by first pretending to be a member of LGBTQ+ then now being an activist championing for their rights in the country.
The Media personality and influencer was forced to address the allegations, insiting that she has never received any money to advocate for LGBTQ+ community.
“First of all, I am not receiving funding nor have I ever received funding in order to support the LGBTQ+. I am an ally of my own volition and beliefs. I voluntarily chose to use my voice and influence to help enact change and vocalize injustice,” Anita Nderu said.
She came under heavy criticism after weighing in on comments made by Education CS George Magoha banning gay students from schools.
“I will never understand how Kenyans turn a blind eye to economy, shattering corruption and debt, social injustices, celebrate in cults like fashion murderers and thieves both in and out of office, vote into power politicians with characters and agendas, accept inequality in access to jobs, good education, housing, healthcare, their rights as tax-paying citizens and infrastructure. Then draw the moral law, rights, religion and culture line the second the LGBTQ+ community is mentioned,” Nderu wrote on social media.
She added that her social platforms are safe spaces for everyone and she would not tolerate any form of hate.
“If my views and opinions do not sit well with you kindly unfollow me, block me, or if you have no positive outlook or constructive criticism to share and are unable to block or unfollow me, say nothing.”
