Weekend before went to see a concert at the museum "Poleni", (rootsinternational) featuring Maia & the Big Sky Kato Change Olivia Ambani and Isaac Kimani. Outdoor, intimate, safe in a panorama, a chance to sit with what we've been going through.

This past weekend went to see Wambui K. Collymore's new installation at Tira Studio workshop on ngong rd. It's thinking about grief, the mundane motions it requires of us. It reminds me that it is here and coming, a rite of passage. For me it was recognition, preparation.

I am just here to appreciate how artists are responding to this present time, literally inviting us into their own grief, making space for us to face our own, showing how the moment can have utility. -Not that it must be, but it's comforting to me, this idea that it can be.

The issue isn’t even those who commit the violence against the elderly, but those who watch in silence knowing it’s wrong but failing to act. Watch The Letter-#WatunzeWazee for a broader insight into the problem Maia & the Big Sky

As vinyl record sales continue to grow, can the supply keep up with demand? And can small independent labels get the production they need? I’ve been finding out for BBC World Service, with help from Maia & the Big Sky and Andrew Black of The Popty-Ping Recording Company bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

This is an urgent call to the Danish Immigration Services to lift the 2-year EU Ban  imposed on me, so that I can attend my film premiere in the Netherlands in less than 2 weeks!!! Denmark in Kenya #DanishImmigrationServices #UnlawfulTreatmentAbroad

Lift the ban NOW! I went through your appeals process, presented all required documents, supporting evidence, reference letters. You ignored me! You didn’t listen! And you refused to re-open my appeal. Denmark in Kenya #DanishImmigrationServices #UnlawfulTreatmentAbroad

Do the Danish Immigration Services have a Decoloniality problem with the Zippy Kimundu film about Mukami Kimathi? C'mon Danes, you can surely do better. Let her go to her film premier.
