- I2 or 14 I think. Terrible I tell you . It was a love poem.
What inspires your writing ?
- A lot actually, I have a muse who whispers things to me… I write those things down. Its like a hypnosis session but without the pendant.

If you were a cartoon character, who would that be?
- Juniper Lee, kick butt and look good about it.
Three words to describe your brain…
- Cold dark and dreary. Kidding thirsty, avid and hankering… 4 words!

What’s your preference? Writing Or performing (poetry)?
- Writing, I am scared of crowds.
If you could choose a career without education and stuff, what would you be?
- Professional-snorkeler 🙂 🙂
What do you think of the Kenyan creative and artistic industry?
- Getting there, slowly, but getting there.
Any random question that you’d like to ask the world?

Hey! Structure this better.
I had a discussion with Aisha about this but you realize that she is not the only one with a problem, don’t you?
Which other problem have you noticed Ed? We accept correction.
Seriously, you can’t see a problem?
Thats good work. Keep up the spirit.
Good work. Keep up the spirit.
Intersetin perspective u’d (Aisha)prefer violence over silence. That u are able to hear, could u picture yoself as deaf…
Evan darling,silence hereby meaning “our refusal to acknowledge the violence”
