Finding true connection in this digital world...

I know it's been a while since I sent you anything.

The last few months have been crazy and I can’t wait to share why.  First…I want to say Happy New Year and cheers to 2024!

I would also like to thank you all for all of your support in 2023 and beyond.  You are why I continue creating content online and producing events every year.  Without your support…events like the Madaraka Festival would not have been possible so from the bottom of my heart…THANK YOU.

This is a big year for us…in case you were not aware…It’s the Madaraka Festival’s 10th year anniversary. So keep your eyes open for some amazing surprises we have in store for you.

Now I’d like to share a bit about the last few months.  

In November…I had the opportunity to travel back home to Kenya for a bit.  In a short time I did an East Africa Media Tour with US Based Rapper Maniac Mayne and International Artist Tribemark.

The tour ignited a cultural explosion across the region!

We set to promote the Madaraka Festival in Kenya and Tanzania.  And ultimately shared the massive impact of the festival on the East African music scene.  

At the end of the week…it was an epic tour filled with amazing people…great conversations…and unforgettable moments.  

From passionate musicians…

To inspiring artists…

We were surrounded by individuals who are not only talented but also deeply passionate about sharing their culture with the world.

These encounters have been nothing short of magical!

Reminding us that the true connection happens when we open our minds and hearts to the beauty of diversity.

Blessings and love to you and your family this 2024,

Simon Okelo
