February Newsletter: The Decennial Issue

Welcome to our Decennial issue!

If you were fortunate enough to attend any of the inspiring events of this past weekend, you will understand the euphoric note of this newsletter. If not, Anzisha Fellow Isaac Oboth and his team created an incredible short video of highlights that capture the weekend perfectly.

More than just a birthday party, the Decennial Celebration was a meeting of minds, a reunion of spirits and a sharing of stories, insights and reflections that justifiably topped Twitter’s Trends list.

This issue will give you a feeling for what it was like to be there, with perspectives from staff, students and our in-house reporter. We also share two incredible spoken word pieces from the weekend’s performances.
Enjoy the insights and reflections gleaned from our 10th birthday – we hope it  encourages you, too, to play your role in shaping Africa’s future.
