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.


Great turnout at our first IPAEA doc screening since the pandemic at The Alchemist Bar showing The Letter-#WatunzeWazee! Thanks to filmmakers Maia & the Big Sky & Christopher King for talking to us about their incredible film and for Azza Satti for supporting the doc screenings.

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
