Thousands of people gathered at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Sunday, September 27, 2026, for Natalie Githinji’s Endometriosis Warriors event, turning the venue into a powerful celebration of awareness, music, courage and solidarity.
The event, organised through Natalie’s Yellow Bold Girl Initiative in partnership with Eric Omondi’s Sisi Kwa Sisi Initiative Kenya, brought together women living with endometriosis, their families, supporters, entertainers, influencers and health advocates.
What began as an awareness event became an emotional and energetic experience as music and entertainment were combined with conversations about the realities of living with endometriosis.
Natalie Githinji Gets Emotional at KICC
For Natalie Githinji, the event was particularly personal.
The media personality has openly shared her journey with endometriosis and recently underwent treatment and surgery following complications related to the condition. Standing before thousands of people who had come to support the cause, Natalie became emotional as she took in the huge turnout.
The crowd’s presence demonstrated the level of support behind her advocacy and the growing willingness to talk openly about endometriosis.
Rather than making the event solely about her own experience, Natalie used the platform to bring together other women and supporters who could share in the wider conversation around the condition.
Kenyan Music Stars Show Support
Music was one of the biggest parts of the KICC experience.
Several popular Kenyan artistes took to the stage, giving the audience performances while also showing their support for Natalie and women living with endometriosis.
Among those who performed were Nadia Mukami, Bensoul, Lilmaina, Arrow Bwoy, Guardian Angel, Bahati and Fena Gitu.
Their performances helped create a celebratory atmosphere inside the packed venue, with the audience responding to the different acts throughout the programme.
The presence of such a wide range of musicians also showed how entertainment can be used to attract attention to important social and health conversations.
Instead of having a traditional awareness meeting, the event created an environment where people could learn, connect and enjoy performances at the same time.
Janet Mbugua Joins Natalie on Stage
Among the notable personalities present was media personality and health advocate Janet Mbugua.
Janet joined Natalie and Eric Omondi on stage and spoke about the importance of having open conversations about endometriosis.
She praised Natalie for being willing to share her experience publicly, particularly at a time when she was still recovering from treatment.
Janet also encouraged people to stop treating severe menstrual pain as something women should simply endure. Her message centred on creating greater awareness and encouraging women to seek appropriate medical attention when they experience concerning symptoms.
Her appearance added another important voice to an event that was built around breaking the silence surrounding endometriosis.
Eric Omondi and Other Personalities Attend
Comedian and activist Eric Omondi was also present at the event through his involvement with the Sisi Kwa Sisi Initiative Kenya.
The partnership helped bring together entertainers, supporters and other stakeholders for the gathering.
Influencer Amber Ray also took to the stage, while other celebrities and personalities attended to support Natalie and the wider endometriosis awareness campaign.
The event attracted people from different backgrounds, including women living with the condition, relatives, supporters and members of the entertainment industry.
Charisma and Okello Max Bring Energy
The entertainment did not stop with the musical performances.
Charisma and Okello Max joined Natalie on stage for a dance session that became one of the lighter moments of the afternoon.
The three danced together as the audience cheered, adding an energetic and playful moment to an event that had also featured serious conversations about health.
Dancer Collo Blue and The Cluster KE also delivered performances, helping maintain the energy inside the venue.
Their appearances demonstrated how the organisers successfully blended music, dance and advocacy into one experience.
Karen Nyamu Also Addresses the Crowd
Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu was among the public figures who attended the KICC event.
She spoke about endometriosis and legislative efforts surrounding the condition. Her appearance, however, became one of the more talked-about moments of the day after sections of the audience heckled her with “Wantam” chants.
Nyamu later said she had anticipated some criticism because of the involvement of Eric Omondi, but maintained that she chose to attend and speak about endometriosis.
The moment added a different dimension to an otherwise health-focused gathering and generated discussion online after videos from the event circulated.
More Than Just a Concert
Despite the music and celebrity appearances, the KICC gathering was ultimately about creating awareness and support for women living with endometriosis.
The free-entry event was designed to give women affected by the condition an opportunity to connect, share experiences and access information.
For many attendees, being surrounded by others who understood the challenges associated with endometriosis created a sense of community.
The event also helped bring the condition into a public conversation, with speakers stressing the importance of awareness, diagnosis, treatment and support.
Janet Mbugua’s message captured that wider purpose as she encouraged people to speak openly about endometriosis rather than treating the subject as something that should remain a secret.
An Emotional Experience for Natalie Githinji
By the time the event came to an end, the experience had become much more than an afternoon of performances.
For Natalie, seeing thousands of people turn up after she had publicly shared her own difficult journey was clearly an emotional moment.
The KICC crowd showed that her advocacy had resonated with people beyond the entertainment industry.
From the performances by Nadia Mukami, Arrow Bwoy, Bensoul, Bahati and Fena Gitu to the appearances by Janet Mbugua, Eric Omondi, Amber Ray and other personalities, the day brought together different sections of Kenyan society around one message.
Natalie Githinji’s Endometriosis Warriors event therefore combined music, dance, celebrity support and health awareness in a memorable KICC gathering.
More importantly, it gave women living with endometriosis a space where their experiences could be heard and supported.
The energy inside KICC may have come from the music and performances, but the heart of the event was the message that women living with endometriosis should not have to face their experiences alone.
