The phrase ‘Focus on yourself’ begins almost every refrain of Nairobi-based griot, Nabalayo’s poem and public service announcement. Never addressed to any particular listener, or maybe addressed to all who need to hear it, the transmission is intended to address the undeniable link of misogyny and colonialism within the Kenyan context.

"Focus on yourself and question your thirst for blood. Is it symbolic revenge? For what they did to you? to us?," Nabalayo asks. "Kenya is growing, but its women are suffering at the hands of misogyny, and complacency to misogyny," the artist writes.- Described by Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow 2023, Iru Ekpunobi
