Rating Justification

The iVerify Network of Fact-Checking Desks has fact-checked this content and established that it is False.

To arrive to this conclusion, the iVerify Network of Fact-Checking Desks has conducted the following process. We conducted a reverse image search on the image and discovered that the couple is not from Kenya and that the photos were first shared on the Facebook page of LGBTQ Hub Cameroon on October 18, 2022, who’s actual social media names have been tagged, noting that they use the names @itsactuallytannis and @biancakathryn_.

Further scrutiny reveals that one of the ladies, @biancakathryn_, discloses on her Twitter profile that she is from Houston, New York, United States.

The iVerify Fact-Checking Network Desks also did additional research on @biancakathryn_ and discovered that she has her own website, Biancakathryn.com, where she has stated that she is the Founder & Owner of Yo Soy AfroLatina, a brand that highlights the people, experiences, and culture of Afro Latinas, revealing that she is Latina.

@itsactuallytannis, on the other hand, reveals on her Instagram profile that she is from Houston, Harlem.
