Every office I approached for work seemed intent on using me in exchange for employment

Evon Kinya’s Story – Tales by Titus 254 Evon Kinya was born and raised in Meru. She initially lived with her aunt, but later moved to Nairobi to stay with her mother. Life seemed promising—her education was being sponsored by a support group. However, after completing Form Four, she didn’t continue with her studies. One of her aunts, whom she lived with, got a job opportunity. Although she declined an offer from a man connected to that job, she introduced him to Yvonne instead. Evon was invited by her aunt to spend time with her and the man. But during the outing, the aunt excused herself and left Yvonne alone with him. One thing led to another, and Evon ended up sleeping with him. He promised her a managerial position at his club. From that moment, the man treated Evon like a puppet—whenever he wanted to sleep with her, he did so without hesitation, using his position of power. Evon, afraid of losing the job, felt compelled to give in to his demands. Eventually, they had a falling out when he refused to pay her, forcing her to quit. In desperation, Evon downloaded a dating app and met an Indian man. He asked her how much she wanted, and she said 10,000 shillings. They met at a hotel in South C, where he brought various equipment and revealed his unusual fetishes. He didn’t want to sleep with her but had other demands. Later, he told her he had met another woman and wanted both of them involved. He even added them to the same WhatsApp group. That woman later told about another job opportunity, which she accepted. She was taken to a large house filled with computers and cameras. Her role was to entertain white men live on camera. Each woman had her own account, and they shared the earnings. One day, the police raided the house and confiscated the equipment, but it was later returned. Their boss, however, refused to pay them, claiming the police had taken all the money. Yvonne had no choice but to return home. Back in her hometown, a new hospital opened, and she got a job there as a cleaner. The real owner of the hospital approached her and offered to pay for her education—on the condition that she would be willing to “do anything” for him. She continued working there, and for three years, the man exploited her. Listen to Evon's full story on Tales by Titus 254, where she bravely shares her real-life experiences. Her journey reveals how, time and again, men offered help only in exchange for intimacy. But here, we listen without judgment—because behind every person is a life story.
