Kenneth Binyavanga Wainaina (born 18 January 1971) is a Kenyan author, journalist and winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing. In April 2014, ''Time'' magazine included Wainaina in its annual ''TIME'' 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World."
==Early life and education==
Binyavanga Wainaina was born in Nakuru in Rift Valley province. He attended Moi Primary School in Nakuru, Mangu High School in Thika, and Lenana School in Nairobi. He later studied commerce at the University of Transkei in South Africa. He completed an MPhil in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia in 2010.
His debut book, a memoir entitled ''One Day I Will Write About This Place'', was published in 2011. In January 2014, in response to a wave of anti-gay laws passed in Africa, Wainaina publicly announced that he was gay, first writing a short story that he described as a "lost chapter" of his 2011 memoir entitled "I am a Homosexual, Mum", and then tweeting, "I am, for anybody confused or in doubt, a homosexual. Gay, and quite happy."〔("I am a homosexual, mum (A lost chapter from One Day I Will Write About This Place)" ), Africa is a Country, 19 January 2014.〕〔Daniel Howden, ("Kenyan writer Binyavanga Wainaina declares: 'I am homosexual'" ), ''The Guardian'', 21 January 2014.〕
