Africa Tour – Namibia in Photos
This is the first of three photo essays I’ll be posting about my recent tour in Africa. As a recipient of the U.S. Speaker and Specialist Grant, I traveled to Namibia, Botswana, and Swaziland to perform, teach, collaborate, and inspire. Throughout my journey across southern Africa, I met some amazing people and witnessed beautiful scenes. Here’s a window into my experience:
“African Sun Kiss” on my first day in Namibia’s Capital city, Windhoek
“Pride” – I ran into this VW GTI in Windhoek parking lot
“Talking Shop” – Talking to filmmakers Joel Haikali (left) and Perivi Katjavivi
“Palms and Hills and Sky” – Windhoek, Namibia, the view from my hotel
“See” – Press Conference at US Embassy in Namibia
“Front Page” – I made the cover of The Namibian, the Weekender section
“Profile” – The story in the Weekender
“One on One” – At the Namibian Broadcasting Channel, being interviewed on a TV show called 1 on 1
“Showtime” – Performing spoken word and hip hop at the Warehouse Theatre in Windhoek, Namibia
“Shine your Light” – Performing spoken word and hip hop at the Warehouse Theatre in Windhoek, Namibia
“Mugabe” – Interesting photo I took on Robert Mugabe Ave in Windhoek
“Street Reader” – Man reading my story in the Namibian newspaper
“Silhouettes in the Moonlight” – At a braai, the southern African equivalent of a BBQ
“Good Brovas” – Playshis the Poet (left) and I’m shaking hands with Namibian youth leader, scholar, and activist Patrick Sam
“Mighty Good People” – Nangula Shejavali, Joel Haikali, me, and Sophie Mukenge
