If I had a verse on ‘Wait For U’ 💭. I’m a rider like a beggar with a horse & some wishes. @future @temsbaby @champagnepapi #waitforu #sadgirlhours #ineverlikedyou
I had the honour of being part of the cast of Easter Kwetu; a docu-musical brought to you by the makers of Concert Nyumbani. Tune in tomorrow (Saturday) to NTV at 8pm to catch me performing a fusion of two of my poems, ‘to the son I might have one day’ & ‘when I learned how to walk’. Can’t wait for you all to watch the show!
here’s a new poem // the good ones marry young. #spokenwordpoetry
You know, feeling good, living better 💫
Because the audience at the last Poetry Sundowner loved the show so much, we're back with a second edition! Come see us (me, @nicole_agneta_a, & @iamsocratess) again next Friday (25th Feb) at @chechebooks in Lavington for more poetry, music, & banter. My set will be accompanied my the amazing @rico_becho. All details on the poster, swipe to see pictures from last month's edition (all pictures by @murathengigi/ @_pichad). See you there? * It's open mc, + we have a happy hour offer on drinks.
Came across this video from 2018 of me & @shingai_be_like performing this poem (we had written this poem the day before & I’m pretty sure this is the one & only time we ever performed this piece). Listening to it now I’m convinced our brains were working overtime haha. Good good times! #poetry #poetsofinstagram
