Black renaissance (*last frame for artwork)
The reawakening isn't about looking back in longing but stepping forwards with new found confidence .Oh ye descendants of the cradle of innovation , wisdom and spirituality , Stars that guided our ancestors remain above us as a symbol of infinite potential , boldly step forward as we rise , aligned with our origins destined for greatness.
Stop the War Afrikkka !

Amongest my peers i've always ranted often frantically ,lol on the misinformation or almost no information(Looted) on the advances and civilizations in interior Africa . Kemetic civillisation arguably the most advanced civilisation has often faced attempts to downplay its African roots further potraying Egypt/Sudan as disconnect from Africa and emphasizing Influences from non-African civilizations ( Whitenisation & Arabisation ). Sudan's rich Kemetic history goes unmentioned🤷🏾 . The Nile must've acted as a cultural highway, facilitating exchange of ideas, technologies, languages and religious beliefs among the Kemetic civilization and into neighboring regions like Nubia (Sudan) and further down the interior of Africa! This cultural exchange fostered interconnectedness, mutual influences, and the development of a shared cultural heritage. To cut to the bone i've always believed ; a lack of knowledge or acknowledgment of historical connections, shared heritage, and the diverse cultural tapestry of a nation, including the Kemetic history in Sudan, can contribute to societal fragmentation, misunderstandings, and unresolved tensions that may escalate into repeated civil conflicts. Emphasizing inclusive and accurate historical education can play a crucial role in promoting unity, understanding, and peaceful coexistence among diverse groups within a nation.
Peace to the children of Kemet , Peace to Sudan !

These are older bulls pushed out of the herd by time, battles, and younger rivals. What’s left is a quieter life: slower movement, solitude, and survival on their own terms.
Their horns are cracked, chipped & heavy with years. They’re made of a tough outer layer , but beneath is living bone connected to the skull. So while the surface can take a beating, deep cracks and breaks can mean real pain in old age.

A fortnight ago we hit the road North of the capital thanks to @cleaning_the_airwaves@izzo_nyakora & @sarova_hotels .Apart from filming I got the chance to photograph some truly beautiful landscapes .Here's the first batch I was able to freeze .
These moments felt timeless and soon i'll be making fine art prints from some of the photos i've shared .
Used to think Samburu & Maasai were hard to tell apart…
then I met Lenene.
Same roots, different stories; color, style, and presence.
Details matter.

Who owns the lands?
Who controls our resources?
And who is deciding the future of Kenya?
Sovereignty is not just a word in history books. It is land, policy, opportunity, and dignity.
The road ahead is still ours , the youth must stay awake ! unlike the expressway real change is rarely linear..
