No justice, no morality.
You can't tell us about morals when there is injustice every day. And in Kenya, morality is another way of saying "sshh, don't speak the truth because it threatens my power, job or status."

The idea of morals parallel to injustice is Victorian. Colonial missionaries called our clothes, ceremonies and knowledge immoral, while they facilitated the colonial government to brainwash and brutalize us.

Artists are brutally exploited. They are not paid for their work. They are insulted repeatedly. Those of us in arts education are called useless. It's the same thing that was done to our cultures, songs, dances and fashion by colonial missionaries.

Most of us spend majority of our days working - either at an office, or in constant communication with colleagues, clients, or partners.
With that in mind, it's hard to ignore how significant an impact our workspaces have on our minds, our bodies and our lives.

But there are spaces that make that existence very difficult for many. Yes, this is a thread that stems from conversations previously had by @MarcusOlang & heavily inspired by the #KECreativesDeserveBetter conversations currently happening on @WatchdogKE as driven by @SilasMiami.
This is the first of so many stories that have been shared with me in the last 3 hours alone. Most of them, terribly chilling. We'll be sharing them as we receive and repackage them to protect their identities where requested.
