Keep dreaming!
Some truths are in full cycle now. Many will not understand, how light unravels itself. But the truth is ours. It has always been now that we see the fruits of our dreaming. See antelopes bend to drink from streams dreaming. See the sun follow us across the horizon lingering. See too how dreaming set…

Keep, keep, your stories!
Some of us have been blessed or cursed to see beyond ourselves. Our only mercy is memory, but our regret is hell. Sometimes you don’t survive whole, sometimes you survive in parts. The key is the attempt and the surrender to memories that help you see beyond yourself. I am in a space where storytelling…

Keep being open!
To see the door, at least once. Amidst fears of what could be. To see the door and debate whether to open or leave it close. Before the rustling winds that blow. Before trees fighting to be still. See those holding on to dreams. Choose to open the door. With the courage of a day…

Keep surrendering to your dreams!
I did a thing today. Surrendered my dreams to universe. They say there are two moments that define a person’s life. The day they are born and the day they realize why. I found my why today. Like Kwesi Brew’s poem, I know which road to take….

Keep turning on your own, for your own!
More than once we take memories, those hard and true, those painful and fruitful, we take them all and use them to blossom like tall Iroko trees. We are woman. Ordinary, but woman. We are all of life, surrounded by the love for life. We are pictures, perfect, broken, but pictures capturing memories, of times…

Keep soaring!
When the world is music and love and people, your ears would be open to people, their love and their music. I’m in a space where only listening to music will do. Only listening to those that birds play, and children sing, and heaven knows my soul needs to restore. We are also slowly setting…

Keep love that lasts!
She was once invisible. Her love too, invisible. Though her presence had power. Her actions knew power. Her words too were full of power. Better than precious oils. Better than gracious soils. All she carried was startling from the beginning. Though they kept asking, what kind of love is this? They kept lying to taint…

Keep knowing our rights!
Even today, we had to take a walk to clear our head, about how we made this all happen. Our minds are clear. We are stronger. We are better. When we look back, we wonder how, how did we make it this far and still without losing anything? How did all the ruckus from the…

Keep the genesis of our grants as stories always!
You may lose to their gaslight and lies, lose to their ignorance and power, but what they do and how they lie, the crafty schemes they pull to steal, seize or make away with ideas birth from deep within you are closed to them forever, as are, indeed, the blueprint of stories as grants, our…

Keep anything about your day and celebrating our 3rd year keeping something about each day!
About 3 years ago, I embarked on a journey to to loosen up myself as I navigated life as a mother of four children, wife to a frontline health care worker and a global health researcher passionate about how to make evidence based interventions last. I made a commitment to keep something important, something surprising,…

Keep beginning again!
Where you begin or rise, where you start or initiate again, everything you open up like flowers, falling rain on an awaited storm are for where you close out or phase away, terminate or simply wrap up, even in places where you once marveled as you planted away. All of this help to shape stories…
