CHINUA ACHEBE DIES AT 82



 “Oh, the most important thing about myself is that my life has been full of changes. Therefore, when I observe the world, I don’t expect to see it just like I was seeing the fellow who lives in the next room. There is this complexity which seems to me to be part of the meaning of existence and everything we value.”
- Chinua Achebe

It is from these legacies, these word warriors, these mind shifters & influences, these brave spirits, unafraid, free - ly- open to liberating their/our minds, emptying their bodies and allowing us in, allowing us into internal and alternate worlds...it is from these we {storytellers, artists, africans, humans} hail. His body has passed on, a truth we cannot dispel, but his words his soul remains, forever.
Fambul dem, this is how we do...
