Born into the Maasai community in Kenya, Nalotuesha's fate was sealed from birth-forced into FGM, married off as a child, and stripped of her rights. But deep within, she carried a dream of freedom. Determined to break the cycle, she risks everything to escape with her children, finding refuge in the bustling city of Nairobi. With the help of kind strangers, she gains an education and transforms into a fearless advocate against FGM. This is a powerful story of survival, hope, and a woman's unwavering fight to change her destiny-and the destiny of countless others.
