Black Star Nairobi (2013)
“We were on our way to Mexico. For fuck’s sake, how was it that in just the span of a few years I was returning to my own country as an illegal immigrant? Yet after everything I had seen in the last few days, a black American detective sneaking into the U.S. through Mexico shouldn’t have raised any eyebrows.
Leaving the U.S. the first time around to settle in Kenya hadn’t been easy, but Muddy was there and I simply had to go back to her. I recalled the first time I had seen her on stage, doing s...poken word with a serious sensuality that commanded respect as much as it did admiration. There was always more to Muddy. I knew it from the moment we met. Yet, even for love, leaving all you have known and all you could ever become, all you had in fact hoped to become, is not easy. I had to leave friends behind, I had just been promoted, and I did often wonder whether as an only child I had betrayed my parents.
In other ways, it was easy to leave. In Kenya, my skin was like everyone else’s, I was part of the majority.MoreLess
