Back in May 2017, I got called to take portraits of the Kenyan President and his Deputy. When I realised the assignment was too huge for me, I called on @allangichigi and made it a collaborative project. This is the story of your gift taking you before important people (Proverbs 18 : 16), the power of collaboration and how having a camera has opened doors I never thought I'd walk through.

“Today the High Court has confirmed what we have said from day one: the treason charge was a political fabrication. The prosecution failed to prove any intention to intimidate the government. Instead of ordering my release after 577 days in detention, the court has convicted me of an offence I was never charged with and never given a chance to defend. This is not justice. This is damage control. History will record how the court searched for a lesser charge simply to keep me in prison.” Tundu Antipas Lissu November 6, 2027 —Admin.

All people of goodwill and supporters of democracy across the world are relieved to see the trumped up treason charges against Comrade Tundu Lissu collapse, following his acquittal today. These charges should never have been brought in the first place. Lissu’s only crime was to call for basic reforms to the electoral architecture in Tanzania to guarantee a fair process. He has lost over two years of his life in custody as he fought off the charges. We encourage Ndugu Lissu, the CHADEMA Party and all our Tanzanian brothers to take heart and remain strong in their pursuit of justice and freedom, in the knowledge that all forces of regression are usually ultimately defeated.

Kimani Wamatangi has built 32 hospitals in Kiambu while Gladys Wanga has built a water kiosk. Wanga clearly understands the assignment. You can't eat a hospital, you can't boil ugali with an ICU, but you can cook with water.

When I came to Congress in 1987, there were only twelve Democratic women. We made it our mission to change that. Today, we celebrate the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House — a tremendous joy and source of pride. When women succeed, America succeeds!

It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.  Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.
