Just scrolling through the many layers of a piece of artwork that create the final image. It's always a bit of a mess, haha! 🌀

Just me having fun playing along to 'Nterini' by Malian artist, Fatoumata Diawara, on my 3-stringed "strumstick".
I love this woman's music! ⁣Gotta do the things that keep you smiling :)

Just your average early morning jam session at Grandma's house in northern Namibia.
My brothers decided to crash the party!

Afrika is home and I need to be there soon.

I will be joining the RTG global community as soon as I am able and I just want to start documenting my process of repatriation to Afrika.
For myself, for others who are hoping to achieve the similar things one day, or just for future generations to see.

I didn't go back to edit the video, so if some of my thoughts seem scattered and whatnot, I just want it to be known that I am humbled by the resources that have been created by my fellow Afrikans and look forwards to networking and getting to know more people soon.

Stellar Malian actress/songstress Fatoumata Diawara performed with her band at The Sanctuary for Independent Media on April 28, 2016 and brought down the house.

Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain
