Conversation with Dad

My dad reaches out to me about once every 2 or 3 months. I think he is getting better at it :)

[16/05, 10:08 p.m.] Dad: Hi Mel I read that there’s a car bomb in Kenya bordering Somali [16/05, 11:28 p.m.] mel: Things with Somali are tense [16/05, 11:28 p.m.] mel: Lots of things happening up in northern Kenya [16/05, 11:28 p.m.] mel: Actually I hadn’t heard about it [16/05, 11:28 p.m.] mel: But I heard that there was an ebola breakout in DRC [16/05, 11:29 p.m.] Dad: Be careful [16/05, 11:29 p.m.] mel: Okeee [16/05, 11:29 p.m.] mel: I am, always careful [16/05, 11:29 p.m.] mel: somehow that’s what happens to you when you live here awhile [16/05, 11:29 p.m.] mel: You learn how to be careful [16/05, 11:30 p.m.] mel: But at the same time, yo u know you can’t account for everything [16/05, 11:30 p.m.] Dad: I feel better [16/05, 11:30 p.m.] mel: Ok glad you feel better [16/05, 11:31 p.m.] Dad: It’s bed time sleep tight [16/05, 11:31 p.m.] mel: I just went to a gospel concert at safaricom [16/05, 11:31 p.m.] mel: It was really nice. [16/05, 11:31 p.m.] mel: But about to sleep now [16/05, 11:32 p.m.] Dad: Ok

…

The concert I had just came back from was for the launch of Juliani’s new album, Machozi ya Jana (”Cry of Yesterday” in Swahili). The event was backed by IJM. Juliani is a gospel artist who isn’t afraid to talk about the blood-curdling injustices rampant in Kenya, that churches are often painfully silent on. The concert was also a forum to talk about police violence (especially for young males in the slums), extrajudicial killings, IPOA, lack of accountability and lack of concern in leadership, and Willie Kimani, whose brutal death was a catalyst for conversation and political action for the same injustices that happen to many Kenyans who are not high profile enough to capture international attention. I’ve only touched the tip of that iceberg in a collage of my own experiences: was stopped and questioned in irritating and dizzying circles by a policeman who was drunk on duty last night, and have been bewildered and angered to the point of yelling at/losing patience with a number of incompetent, and also undertrained, underpaid, drunk or high policemen who asked for bribes or waved around their rifles in a display of threatening ego or did the very things they wanted to arrest us for… I didn’t know how to tell my dad all those things.

Good night dad.

Squad 💪. Rooftopping some time back with @amungathegreat, @samdave69 & @tintseh. To some, it looks like we don't love our lives while to us, it's the love of life that drives us to such heights. #nightBandits #igersNairobi #cityofNairobi (at Nairobi, Kenya)
