Through his project “Kibera Stories,” he focuses his lenses on a broader spectrum of life where hope, resilience, ambition, and a sense of community prevail. Otieno is committed to depolarizing and humanizing the traditional narrative that distorts how underprivileged communities are perceived and defined.
