Music Is A Weapon, Theatre Empowers

Fela said music is a weapon and Angelique Kidjo said it is a window to the soul. Two very powerful statements about the power of music that I agree with.

We Could All Learn Something From Ghana…

Right now, Ghana is trailblazing with good governance, stability and economic growth. I think a few of the continents leader's need to get over the pride and ask how they did it.

Who Cares About Maternal Mortality?

Motherhood is supposed to a joyful experience but for many women that reality often comes with its own pain. The kind you cannot explain and one that can never be erased.

The Power of The Pen

For as long as I can remember, authoritarian and repressive governments have always been afraid of writers and their pens. The might of the pen goes beyond the creation of creative and rhythmical prose on the page. It also provokes the masses and maybe, individuals, who for had issues with what they see happening around them but did not have the voice to express themselves and take action.

The Pain and Shame of A Taboo Most Personal

How can we address the issue of mental health if there are people who are yet to get the most basic of healthcare? How many mental health specialists do we have? How many mental health counselors, consultants, hospitals and experts can we boast of? When we start asking and answering these questions, then we can talk about solutions and address this malaise which is not specific to Kenya but the continent as a whole.

HIV/Aids Is Not A Curse!

They say you never know what it is like to live in the shoes of an individual with no legs until you lose yours. It is always so much easier to judge, criticise and give advice but when its your turn, you have no idea what to do with yourself. I agree with Sawo Awoke that HIV is not a curse. It is a medical condition which needs medical attention.
