Keep tomorrow’s dreams!
We sat and watched the start of what can only be described as divine. While I am slowly discerning a lot about life these days, to see possibilities, dreams fulfilled, those in the Illuminating phase keeps me humble. When we decided to carry out our latest project as a mega designathon, I thought, perhaps I…

Keep the memories of two women this Easter Sunday!
Women will be there again and again. Every time the story is told. They were there that Sunday morning when death rose like flames. There was a tomb, they looked at it. They saw the earth quake. And a stone rolled away. Pictures form and remain in my head. Of two women who looked on.…

Keep this stream of consciousness named Isioma!
To survive, first begin. Preserve, do whatever it takes to lift yourself, free yourself from anything that is not in your name. What is your name. Who named you. When did they name you. Why did they name you. All this talk of naming began before anyone and anything framed you. They are like a…

Keep this peace!
Today I will write the most low esteem lines ever spoken. Write for example, ‘I am confident and not my fault you mistake my confidence for something else.’ The winds will blow and eventually a day will force me to rewrite the lines as this. “No one who knows they are confident speaks loud. The…

Keep dreams heavy.
That time I thought tough times last, I went closer to the edge without falling over. Surely God had a hand in this as well as Papa and mama Ocha and of course the one named Onyelo. So, I stood and my stance as the one with the golden hair said, is like no other.…

Keep walking through your storm!
We don’t get to pick our storms but we can choose how we go walk through them. Choose the armor we put on to battle the storms. Choose the legion that stands with us to defeat the storm. I am walking. I found myself in a storm recently, found myself reading and reading the reminder…

Keep the freedom of dreams!
The invisibility of those free are odd and beautiful. They bear the same relation to dreams, pointing the way up. Only few wake up to the hidden potentials of dreams. Only those free. The power of making. The power of affecting reality is powerful to those who dream. Those who shape the future with their…

Keep this freedom
Some seasons bring gifts that glow beyond darkness, underneath skies that announce the arrival of thunders, the fall of rain. I am in a season, flooded with poetry, destined to humanize all life’s experience. To be radical they say is to begin at the root. It takes time to tear down people and systems not…

Keep the fearless legacy of Herbert Wigwe, Chizoba and Chizzy Wigwe.
To be so fearless in life and death, to still be fearless even when death seems to have the last say, is the legacy many of us wish we keep long after we die. I never knew the man. But like so many, I have been so spellbound by his life and death. The past…

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 this bloom and blaze!
Somethings bloom and blaze on their own. Things full of boundless possibilities. A blue sea. A glowing moon. A mother’s milk. A circle of close people. Anything with a sense of endurance, will find a way to bloom and blaze all on its own. I’m in a space with the one who saves, who reminds…

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…
