This page preserves the Machakos ride intro connected to the opening of FRACTURE. It begins with a single word from a young boy and opens the path into identity, lineage, return, and belonging.
Recently I was riding through Machakos on the back of a motorcycle.
A young boy looked over and shouted:
“Mzungu!”
I smiled and waved back.
But what he could not have known was that I was riding home from the family land where I had just been welcomed back into the Kamba Tribe.
A word from a young boy.
A motorcycle ride home.
A return already in motion.
