publisher — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 17:54:55 +0000

The man rocks a suit, has the looks of an international model and the intensity of a man who has come a long way. Rogers Otieno has a story that has to be told, and as a ghetto thug turned Associate Director of the Keith Pearson Theatre Company he plans to do just that. (more…)

Kenyan 10 Commandments & Afro Fusion

publisher — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:12:30 +0000

Kenyans and Ugandans: you are what you eat
