Throwback to our #StatementTalks where we hosted @maialekow and @chris_m_king254 directors of the 2019 feature-length documentary called The Letter (@TheLetterKenya). The Letter was Kenya’s official entry to the Academy Awards and screened at multiple film festivals.

Do the Danish Immigration Services have a Decoloniality problem with the Zippy Kimundu film about Mukami Kimathi? C'mon Danes, you can surely do better. Let her go to her film premier.

@zippyfilmz @denmarkinkenya Isn't this where our foreign affairs minister @MusaliaMudavadi and our ambassador to Denmark come in??? Even our president now that he has international connections can pick up a phone and call.

Lift the ban NOW! I went through your appeals process, presented all required documents, supporting evidence, reference letters. You ignored me! You didn’t listen! And you refused to re-open my appeal. @denmarkinkenya #DanishImmigrationServices #UnlawfulTreatmentAbroad

This is an urgent call to the Danish Immigration Services to lift the 2-year EU Ban  imposed on me, so that I can attend my film premiere in the Netherlands in less than 2 weeks!!! @denmarkinkenya #DanishImmigrationServices #UnlawfulTreatmentAbroad

As vinyl record sales continue to grow, can the supply keep up with demand? And can small independent labels get the production they need? I’ve been finding out for @bbcworldservice, with help from @maialekow and @_blackie__ of @popty_ping_ bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

Great turnout at our first @IPAEastAfrica doc screening since the pandemic at @AlchemistBar254 showing @TheLetterKenya! Thanks to filmmakers @maialekow & @chris_m_king254 for talking to us about their incredible film and for @cuteobservation for supporting the doc screenings.

The issue isn’t even those who commit the violence against the elderly, but those who watch in silence knowing it’s wrong but failing to act. Watch @TheLetterKenya for a broader insight into the problem @maialekow

Weekend before went to see a concert at the museum "Poleni", (@Rootsworldwide) featuring @maialekow @TheChangeKato @OliviaAmbani and Isaac Kimani. Outdoor, intimate, safe in a panorama, a chance to sit with what we've been going through.

This past weekend went to see @WambuiKamiru's new installation at Tira Studio workshop on ngong rd. It's thinking about grief, the mundane motions it requires of us. It reminds me that it is here and coming, a rite of passage. For me it was recognition, preparation.
