INSPIRE ME!!

I'm inspired by art, the whispers of revolution, the ancient japanese art of origamy I'm enthused by love, sometimes I shower and roll in it, I'm paralysed and set free by love, I'm inspired by nature, the healing touch of herbalism and organic lifestyles, I'm inspired by the freedom of the spirit, the freedom of the mind and the freedom of the body, I'm inspired by Lauryn Hill, I'm inspired by the struggles of Mumia Abu Jamal, I'm inspired by the endurance of Ann Njogu, in the face of lack of democracy and freedom of expression, I'm inspired by unity; The unity of citizens standing together and singing SIMAMA against the shackles of corruption, I love Jazz, I'm amazed at the vocal power of Lady Ella and Louis Armstrong sending me to sleep with soothing melodies of " Dream a little dream of me", I'm inspired by the struggles of an expectant mother who beams with joy at the thought of her child, I'm inspired by the love of a mother, I'm inspired by good, I'm inspired by poetry mics at the junction an expression of verbal art, I'm set free by the performance art of spoken word, I'm lightened by watching capoeira dances- a type of brazilian dance, I'm in my spiritual state with the fusion of different types of drums, elevating me higher and higher to my spiritual place, I'm inspired by truth, I'm inspired by those who listen and the human race...

I thought I'd take a journey inside of me to find out what inspires me, I know its been a while since I updated my blog, but I'm still inspired but my inspiration leads me to achieve other things, leads me to accomplish other goals, I think most of all, I'm inspired by love which is why I'm thankful to the Most high for His marvellous gift.

EVENTS;

Last month I attended a performance at the Nairobi British council by Dead Prez (dead presidents) from the U.S.A . and their performance was mind blowing save for all the hip hop heads bumping their heads to chants of "HIP HOP" by the artsits, it was a crazy experience, the energy that was in the atmosphere was intense, I remember quietly tinking to myself 'yes!'
The Nairobi citizens are becoming more and more aware of their rights, what belongs to us as Africans and I'm honored, to be part of this revolution, honored to be a part of this history. rebeling against these systems that hold us down, don't get me wrong I just strive for the freedom of the mind, the breakage of these social padlocks that eat us up inside.

After the Hip hop inspiration, we proceeded to another 'in-house protest' against E.P.A's (Economic Partnership agreements) and I remember saying ' Are you kidding me? ' Nairobi is alive with revolution and I can see it coming.Please log on to www.maketradefair.org for more information about this event and to see how these E.P.A's affect the posterity of Africa.


I'm inspired by gratitude!!! I'm inspired by You.
