Hello, I am Jephtha Malelah. A Kenyan author, poet, film maker, travel enthusiast, human rights campaigner and social worker. I am here to share with you my experiences growing up in Africa, travelling, creating art and working with communities. To tell the stories of young people working everyday to find their space in the world, stories of the older generation that lived in segregation and captivity, stories of hope. I hope to join in fighting prejudice and to find love and peace, I hope to dream and to achieve. This is for me and for you. Let us take the journey together.
