Singer Victoria Kimani honored by Instagram in a special way [Video]

The songstress also touched on her upbringing and how the environment she was raised ended up influencing her music.

“I grew up between the United States and different parts of the continent. I knew from the time that my Dad told me that I could sing that probably I would be a singer. When I moved back I wanted to be a pan-African artist as I didn’t want to be only defined by where I’m from or where my parents are from,” Victoria explained.

According to Victoria, there is a lot of potential on the African continent as a lot of people are super ambitious with so much potential.  

“Music is an escape for some people. It’s something that has some powers to heal you and empower you. It’s so spiritual…and like music can take you anywhere,” Ms Kimani added.

Speaking about the campaign, Kezia Anim-Addo, Meta’s Communications Director for Africa, Middle East & Turkey (AMET) said: “For the fourth year running, we’re incredibly excited to shine a spotlight and celebrate just some of the amazing women from across the continent and beyond, who are having a remarkable impact globally.
