You’re probably familiar with the concept of a Karen (an entitled, excessively demanding White woman who weaponises her privilege), and have seen one in action, at least online. But have you heard of the ‘ultimate’ Karen?
We’re talking about Karen Blixen, whose birthday it is today. However, there’s little to celebrate about this Danish author and aristocrat who once owned a sprawling 6,000-acre coffee plantation at the base of the Ngong Hills during Kenya's colonial period. She employed a large staff of servants who worked tirelessly to cater to her every need. The land she occupied was originally owned by the local Maasai people, who were forcibly displaced to accommodate colonisers such as herself.
