The bravery of @athol_williams at the #ZondoCommission shouldn’t come at the cost of exile. @GaytonMcK, it's time to bring this South African poet and academic back home where he belongs! #JusticeForAthol #BringAtholHome #WhistleblowerRights #ArtsAndCulture

With Samurai - and his work at large - @LupeFiasco allows me to find my own image in the mirror of his imagination. It gifts my skewed body the possibility of balance - a balance that is only to be found in craft. As a writer and student of the pen, I cannot thank him enough.

[Dshamilja Roshani @dshamiljar]

Each spin of @LupeFiasco's Samurai album pulls me into a cycle of death & resurrection at the hands of timeless genius. Put seasonal controversies aside for a moment and bear with me, because this is more important. This is about craft, the force that renders all else irrelevant.

[Dshamilja Roshani @dshamiljar]

Speaking to something without speaking about it is exactly where the power of timeless art lies. It allows for infinite cycles of resurrection, infinite versions of self - versions we have lived, versions we never will, versions we can only discover through the eyes of another.

Life of a Missile. Coming soon.
