Esther Passaris Celebrates 62nd Birthday With Leopard-Print Photoshoot

Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has celebrated her 62nd birthday, sharing glimpses of her special day with followers on social media.

The legislator marked the occasion on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, with a birthday photoshoot featuring a leopard-print dress, followed by cake-cutting and celebrations with friends and well-wishers.

Passaris appeared cheerful in a video capturing the festivities as those around her sang birthday wishes and joined her in celebrating another year of life.

At one point, she could be heard encouraging people around her to greet others, saying, “Salimia,” as she interacted with guests.

The celebrations offered followers a glimpse into the politician’s personal life as she marked the milestone surrounded by people close to her.

Passaris Reflects on Ageing and Self-Confidence

The birthday comes a year after Passaris publicly reflected on ageing, encouraging women to embrace growing older without feeling pressured by societal expectations.

When she turned 61 in October 2025, the legislator shared reflections on her life and acknowledged the people who had influenced her journey.

Her birthday last year coincided with a period of national mourning following the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, whom she described as a mentor and friend.

This year, her celebrations focused on gratitude for another year of life, with her birthday photoshoot and festivities drawing attention from followers online.

Passaris has also continued to speak openly about self-acceptance and the importance of being comfortable with one’s appearance as one grows older.

In a video shared in June 2026, the Nairobi Woman Representative spoke about embracing her natural appearance and approaching life with confidence.

“This is me, 62 this year, and I’m embracing life and who I am,” she said, expressing gratitude for life and the opportunity to continue serving in her public role.

She also encouraged others to appreciate themselves and make the most of their lives.

“Embrace life, embrace who you are,” she added.

Passaris Marks Another Year in Public Service

Beyond her birthday celebrations, Passaris remains a prominent figure in Kenyan public life through her work as Nairobi Woman Representative and her involvement in political and social issues.

Her public statements on ageing and self-confidence have also contributed to conversations about how women navigate growing older in a society that often places pressure on their appearance.

The birthday video attracted attention online, with followers sharing congratulatory messages as the legislator marked her 62nd year.
