I’m so excited to announce that I’ve written yet another commissioned poem, this time for Women in Global Health (@womeningh) celebrating the work done by women in healthcare & demanding gender equality in the field around the world. My poem will be screened at a virtual event on Oct 5th ‘Beyond Applause: #HeroinesofHealth 2021’, hosted by @womeningh (more details on their page) and the Johnson & Johnson Foundation. Thank youu @kitzywoowoo for all your support, & shoutout to @dvnwill who helped me with the visuals of the poem. Truly honored to be on a world stage again with such an important message!

“Mwenda bure si mkaa bure, huenda akaokota.” - One who walks without reason is not like one who sits without reason, the one who walks might pick up something.

Maisha ni foleni.

My heart is so full (swipe to see some pictures from the show)! Honestly thank you so much to everyone who showed up today, all my friends who agreed to be part of this show @jaaziyah @ayroshofficial @teardropspoetry, all the open mic performers, you were amazing! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely nervous for this show, but I'm super appreciative of everyone who held me down. & big shoutout to @thelavalatte for giving me the space! All the media people who showed up, friends of friends who were dragged to this show, I truly hope you'll come again & again! Nawapenda!

Come listen to me performing some poems this Sunday (19th Sept) alongside some of my friends @jaaziyah @ayroshofficial & @teardropspoetry at Lava Latte @thelavalatte from noon till 4pm, & it’s open mic too! See ya xx

So last year (2020) I won an award for Spoken Word Poet of the Year at the Sondeka Awards curated by @creativesgarage ! Here’s a very long overdue picture of me & my trophy. 📸 by @dvnwill
