Teddy Warria, I almost envy you. You know who you are and; therefore, know why you have to do the things you do. You go beyond your grandparents and the Luo as a whole through experiences and stories. The River Nile, “Enyanja Nalubaale”, and Luoland ground you. You take us to those who impacted your life for a time and created the global citizen you have become. Each contributed to the whole that is the Teddy Warria we see today.
Excellently written, Teddy Warria’s “A Son of the Nile” is his life story through family, friends, mentors, role models, and serendipitous contacts, using the “I am from” Poem pentameter. Sunday read or re-read Teddy Warria’s, “I am from” Poem. Teddy is from Luoland, but also from many other people, places, and plants. Enjoy and be amazed at what is possible.
