Naisimu is 32, a Laikipiak Maasai senior warrior, and the head of his family. He has 1-2 years left as a warrior to mentor the new generation of warriors.
“I love my culture: the braids, the dancing with girls, the freedom of being a warrior. I love my cows, they are a warrior’s treasure. I do not fear anything. I want to educate my children, I want them to have a better life, drive cars and live in a city. With education, even flying planes is possible. But however far they go, I will want them to keep a strong cultural identity.”
