Reacting to the news Kiki wrote,
Excited to announce myself as one this year’s recipient of the @mtvema Generation Change Award ❤
It’s been an exhausting time for us as a country & it’s easy to slip into a constant state of anger & exhaustion. But I’m happy that the noise that we make in our corner of the world can be heard across the globe. It reminds me never to stop! This one’s to every young Nigerian finding their voice in a noisy world… If you can make your voice count when you have the attention of one person, you can hold the word spellbound! @feminist_co @document_women
