Storm is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Descended from a long line of African witch-priestesses, Storm is a member of a fictional subspecies of humans born with superhuman abilities known as mutants. She is able to control the weather and atmosphere and is considered to be one of the most powerful mutants on the planet.
Born Ororo Munroe to a tribal princess of Kenya and an African-American photojournalist father, Storm is raised in Harlem, New York City, New York, United States and Cairo, Egypt. She was made an orphan after her parents were killed in the midst of an Arab–Israeli conflict. An incident at this time also traumatised Munroe, leaving her with claustrophobia that she would struggle with for life.

This traditional Kenyan dish is usually made with Sakuma Wiki however it is harder to get hold of in the UK, so I used Kale instead as it is closed in family to the Sakuma Wiki. If you can find Sakuma Wiki, I would swap that in to get a better experience of the dish!
