[3] She was a founding member of Wajibu Journal,[4] created in 1985, focusing on religion, African values, morality, politics and culture.
[6] After graduating as a teacher, Kinoti taught Bible knowledge, English, divinity, and literature at Kenya High School for five years.
She used indigenous knowledge such as language, proverbs, and folklore to develop a moral framework that honored her Gikuyu and African identity.
Kinoti's theorization has three significant themes that are essential in understanding African communal structures and critical towards the full liberation of women and humanity.
First, she conceived of human values and living a virtuous life as key indicators of the well-being of an individual and African Indigenous community.
[16] Lastly, the centrality of the immaterial world and the recognition, veneration, and reverence of the spiritual realm and ancestral beings are critical to understanding communal life and shaping the moral fabric of African communities.
Her methodology advanced the decolonization and indigenization of morals and suggested the possibility of generating a localized liberative epistemology that ensures the full flourishing of African women and their communities.
