Congratulations on the poem and I just love the ‘I Am From’ title! It’s evocative, catchy and at the same time it arouses immense curiosity – who is he? That’s a powerful question at any time, but right now, when identity has become the route to growing, to demanding justice, to changing the world, it’s a powerful draw. For Africa and its diasporas in particular.
You have so much to give Kenya and Africa. It comes through in every line of this remarkable poem and indeed in every message I get from you.
I recommend “A Son of the Nile” to anyone interested in the history and future of Africans in our new world. Any aspiring or seasoned leader can learn from this book. But the “I Am From” poem is much more than that.
