Kudos to Imani and to all the guys who put their hearts and souls into the manifestation of what was possibly the best poetry gathering, performance and entertainment that Kenya has ever seen. I love being a part of something new, so that as it grows it’s like watching with joy a little child become an responsible member of society; because that’s what Slam Africa is going to be – a poetic platform that will be responsible in shooting Kenyan/African spoken word artists into the realm of all those that spoke before us and made a difference. But as one poet spoke yesterday, and I paraphrase: “…let’s come up with solutions rather than trying to make a difference…” Slam Africa is definitely a solution that will get us out of our ever complaining & blaming circles that the youth of Kenya often find themselves in. Kudos once again!

but don’t solutions make a difference or was he speaking with poetic license?
