Mr. Activist, politician, and artist now adds “ambassador” to his title.
Award-winning photographer and Human Rights activist Boniface Mwangi has landed an ambassadorial position at Africans Rising, an organization which promotes social justice in Africa. The former Starehe MP candidate shared the good news with his fans on social media saying he was excited about this new role and promised to continue shining light on injustice in Africa.

The 35-year-old will be traveling to the Gambia for his first official visit and others like Tanzania with the continent-wide movement.
In 2016, he released “Unbounded” which is a collection of engaging personal stories that recounts some of the people, places, and events that have shaped Boniface into the man that he is today. Mwangi, a university graduate shocked many by sitting for his KCSE exams last year, maintaining his reputation for being fearlessly unconventional. As one of the boldest vocal voices of political and social change in Kenya, Boniface continues to highlight government incompetence and champion the rights of the disadvantaged in society.
Last week he was shortly detained and stopped from attending the National Youth Service pass out parade in Gilgil, a ceremony which was presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
