This scene was so emotional but was my favorite. My background is in Musical Theatre & I loved that this allowed me to express myself in my main form of art.
Then singing with @EricWainaina the last night was surreal! May his iconic behavior rub off on me!

Co-Africans, my earlier 🧵(quoted) sought to deconstruct white supremacist theories about Africa. We achieved much more - an invitation by ourselves to deeply interact with our history (ancient/modern). The common question by Co-Africans: what has modern Africa invented? A🧵0/24

Thank you @AdipoSidang!!!

The record of man is clear.

But i am just wondering, who are these faceless idiots distracting us from the real work which we must be doing?

The ancient Egyptians were Negroes.

The moral fruit of their civilization is to be counted among the assets of the Black world.

Instead of presenting itself to history as an insolvent debtor, that Black world is the very initiator of the “western” civilization flaunted before our eyes today.

Pythagorean mathematics, the theory of the four elements of Thales of Miletus, Epicurean materialism, Platonic idealism, Judaism, Islam, and modern science are rooted in Egyptian/African cosmogony and science.

One needs only to meditate on Osiris, the redeemer-god, who sacrifices himself, dies, and is resurrected to save mankind, a figure essentially identifiable with Christ.

If the ancient Egyptians were Negroes, and yes they were, then “European Civilization” is but a derivation of African achievement.

The moral fruit of Egyptian Civilization is to be counted among the assets of the Black world.

Africa has invented nothing...not even writing? A short thread for these ignorant white supremacists who equate invention with capitalistic idea of commerce, and don't read history from elsewhere 0/16

These two @OwinoSueh and @ombachi13 deserve a foodie TV show that involves travelling, camping, and visiting remote villages to cook. We can experience Kenya’s beauty through their eyes, and the food they cook. The show should be funded 100% by @magicalkenya & @Min_TourismKE.
