I first heard of his music in my relative's car in Minnesota in 2012, since then I've been a fan. His music is very soothing, relaxing and gets you in a state of love. You feel positive, happy, and joyful after listening to his meaningful songs. Songs encouraging healthy relationships to songs of advocating for political peace and democracy.

Author of I Give Because I'm Blessed - I'm Blessed Because I Give, Moji Taiwo and Nyabuoy Gatbel.  Reading this book gave me a lot of Aha! moments as a young woman who comes from a similar background. The challenges that Moji overcame are the challenges newcomers are going through today. This book can be a blueprint for overcoming fears, challenges and other people's ideas and opinions about ourselves. It is one woman's testimony of staying true to herself. Moji stayed true to her innate feeling of humanity and a sense of purpose since arriving in Canada as a young woman from Nigeria in the 1970's. She had every reason to fail and give up and back up.

As a people, we come from a war-torn country that never truly developed. We are still in the developmental stages.

He has the knowledge and connections to dissect the information to be used in a personal matter.  As the upcoming young generation, we need to be equipped with this knowledge because our lives depend on it. We need to start reading, investing, meeting and p

She's an upcoming and rising South Sudanese writer in an industry that's male-dominated it is nice to see women get in the industry and write for themselves and other women. I got the opportunity to read a short story by Acai, it's called '' Broken Pieces.'' It is amazing.  Acai did an excellent job narrating and speaking from the viewpoint of the main character. She beautifully narrates the challenges of love and relationships from a woman's perspective. She wrote that story for women. She's highly talented and I hope to see more work from her in the future.
