Please share some of the best memories of your childhood
One that sticks out was writing love letters to girls. I loved to write and I really liked girls, so I was always writing a girl a love letter or poem. Besides that, my best memories were writing by a little lake next to our house.

English and Swahili
What is your biggest source of inspiration in life
