Last week got to see this MIGHTY river I only heard of in my history classes. The Ewaso Nyiro River also (Ewaso Ngiro River)is a powerhouse! Especially now that it’s flowing fully this rainy season. From where I was located it separated Samburu and Isiolo counties and further downstream it would meet Milgis river and then pass through Somalia 🇸🇴
“The Ewaso Nyiro River supports economic development and livelihoods that reside along its banks. With a continuous water supply from the glaciers from Mount Kenya, it runs down through seven semi-arid counties: Meru, Laikipia, Samburu, Isiolo, Wajir, Garissa and Marsabit, serving as an important catchment for people and biodiversity.” WWF Kenya

Africa Day. In my words, visuals and borrowed bird songs 🎶 inspired by a time once spent at the Nairobi National Museum.

STORIES will always choose us . . . many days down the line we realize why.
On this day this story reunited old friends, brought refreshment to our souls and later as we watched the glorious evening sky one word resounded

Art × Culture .. Film × Storytelling 🎬 🎨 🎭
We go where we are invited 🙌🏾 , and last week we were delighted to be part of British Council . . . thank you 🙏🏾 to all who came by our booth . . we met some good good people doing great things… and as much as we showcased we also listened and learned.

My one overall key takeaway; the importance of building a community across creative and non-creative circles. This not only edifies our story sharing and storytelling, it also creates building blocks for collaboration and exchanging insights for now and the future. Art will never live in a BOX 😎

Special mention to some good people ✨✨✨
