PRINT, SPOKEN AND VISUAL MEDIA
I use radio to offer a voice to men and women who have a story to tell and do not have an outlet. It is base on the idea of empowering the other. My aim is to redefine the idea of history, that is instead of concentrating on the political or the elite I look at the lives of ordinary people who can be extraordinary.
I use the medium of poetry, poetic prose, songs and documentaries to offer a voice to people who are voiceless or not included in history.
Peace will come when all voices are heard, problems are exposed and solutions are found. Out of this will come a new form of leadership that will be conducive to change as it will establish laws for each and every person.
