Ep 5: Teardrops; From acting to poetry, his creative process, performance & writing in Sheng

African creatives are finding their voice and asserting their agency through this digital, connected, and virtual world. Their work and expressions are reaching across all divides as they interrogate the past and re-imagine what it means to be an African today. 

Join me, Njeri Wangari, a writer, author, editor, speaker and digital storyteller as I engage my fellow creatives, thinkers, makers, and builders for candid conversations on how they are weaving their own thread in this awakened Africa. This is an exploration of the intersection between technology, arts, culture &amp; heritage.
