The longer i am back home the more I am 'getting
it'. My heart is steadying itself, digging deep, planting self and re-orienting
my purpose and vision in the world of the arts. It is only recently that
accepting and proudly understanding myself as a story teller with
responsibility and accountability to the community and my fellow artists has
become an imperative journey for me. I am respecting the responsibility and
beauty that comes with this and in the process, asking my fellow sisters and
brothers who themselves are openly, clearly, and very beautifully bold to come
together to “just do it”. Just do it meaning, sharing with the rest of the
world the talent, gift and stories that exist at the very core of Sierra
Leonean society. We aren’t just those people that sing, dance, paint or organize
shows; we aren’t just at the periphery of society’s consciousness,
