Keep knowing all creativity is local, all healing is local too.
We stood there, my team and I, with a single purpose we stood. To say all creativity is local. All healing too. We spoke and spoke and spoke, until, suddenly, with clarity, the dreams became clear. A hundred day journey begins with a day. The leaves may rustle. Lizards may climb high. Through joy and…

Keep what is local!
All creativity is local. I am seeing that with each passing day. All creativity as far as the eyes can see, is local. We bought a bag of Africa Star Apples today. Udara as it’s fondly called and I gladly ate the whole bag proudly as all fruits are local. What if we did the…

Keep all that makes your language vibrant!
I’m in the city that never sleeps. Its skies are always soothing to me. There are three main languages spoken, hundreds more if you really want to dig deeper. I sat across a girl who spoke a language that sounded like music to my ears today. I couldn’t make out anything but I listened just…

Keep Peace!
I remember the name. My eyes were drawn to the colors. A white bird draped in blue with a round circle with a blue hole perched on its wings. I remember the name, Peace. They say it stood for peace. The bird seemed to sing with ease. The skies looked on with glee. Believing in…

Keep this gathering of women with eyes tiny like us!
I’m inspired by the feast of women I saw the other day. Those black like me. Those that begin from the womb and continue long past a day. I know our imperfections are nothing, that our light is everything, that we gather loving those we would give our everything. I have seen where women build…

Keep living beyond yourself!
I finally shared the courage award to the one who gave birth to Angie the other day. At first I was apprehensive. What would she say? Would she even approve? It’s her daughter after all and what right do I have to tell her story my way. To my surprise she cried. She kept thanking…

Keep perspective!
We watched AFCON match today and saw our beloved country loose a game. Then we literally clutched our pearls with the SuperBowl until Kansas Chiefs won. All of this had me thinking about perspective. Failure is always inevitable with anything. So too is success and the hurdles along the way. But perspective is like a…

Keep the fullness of life.
Remind me of how we got here, how our dreams, became reality, how fullness of life, became our life, how still the dreams moving in us, then shifted, but remained in us, as we watch time go on, and your light still stayed on, this indestructible light you gift us, as days stream into years,…

Keep illuminating your presence!
You do not have to listen. You do not have to wait to hear me speak. You only have to open your eyes and let your eyes see what it sees. Tell me about hurdles, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world will go on, days will go on and everyone will…
