Colin Stanley Karimi is an author from Kenya. I specialize in creative non fiction with a keen interest in social science and philosophy. I have been an Editor at a local magazine, Reviewer at Writers Space Africa, and Editor at WSA-K. I have deep-rooted research skills and a member of the International Human Rights Art Festival 2021. Am excellent in Search Engine Optimization SEO) and a graduate at Writers Guild Kenya. Writing for me is a journey, a journey i started in 2016. My first book, "The African Powerhouse" is a collection of articles written and compiled. At Writers Space Africa, i got to engage with writers across the continent, and got to share the experience of African writers from different backgrounds. It is quite intresting to be living in Africa at this period of the pandemic. The fear and fright that was in looking into Africa as a continent as it was previously is now a façade. It is by now a spectacle to be living in the continent Before, it was known as the continent rid of disease, famine and drought, financial degradation, and other negative tags. It is during the start of the pandemic that almost everyone looked down on us and thought the worst would happen again to the land of Africa. Actually, almost the whole world saw death in the streets with the likes of Mellissa Gates saying that the streets of Africa will have dead bodies on their streets, a thing i am still waiting to happen. See, this type of feedback from the world is jostling the same streets of Africa. It is quite an intresting fete Africa won its first world battle of not getting the ravaging effects of the pandemic as compared to other parts of the world. Before the pandemic, Kenyan literature was boxed in classrooms with students being forced to swallow American literature as if there was insignificant outlook on Kenyan writers. Colin Karimi is a writer who describes the daily events and happenings of the social standings of people of the tribes of Kenya, their believes, their philosophies, and their mindsets. They say the pen is mightier than both the sword and the gun, and the author is conversed around these common phenomes that shape the society at large. Culture is what makes Africa to be Africa, in the perspective that we all strive to eat, clothe our bodies, and shelter our heads. It is common phrase that the White man disrupted the order of the native African person. And it is with such great honor that i as an African writer is weaving a new story for the Great Land of Africa.
