A couple of months ago my housemates and I were having a house dinner with our house supervisor. Sitting around our tiny dining table, all the six of us, including the supervisor, went around the table introducing ourselves. It was an exhilarating moment to talk about the kind of foods that my housemates treasured and enjoyed.

When it was my turn, all I could think of was Pilau, a traditional Kenyan festive rice dish made with a blend of various spices and customizable to several flavors. However, the harmonious exchange took an unexpected turn when the supervisor, caught in the web of Western stereotypes, cast a skeptical eye my way. The trigger? My mixed heritage, predominantly Maasai.
