It is probably a bad idea to attempt to describe any person with a single word. Born in St. Louis and raised in LA, it is hard to detect either location on Kwame Kamau. And there are all the other roles he plays. For example, if you describe Kwame Kamau as a poet, you risk missing the singer/songwriter part. Or the activist bit. Or the coordinator chunk. Or the vitally important husband, son, and father section. As you’ll hear in this discussion, all the things Kwame does and all the things Kwame is frequent collide with each other while fighting for a place in a sentence. However, there is no confusion about his passion for his friends, family and community.

And another thing, Kwame is an energetic seeker and if you’re lucky enough to be close when he goes out looking for answers, he may take you along. And if he does, buckle up!
