As African youth they realized that the media does not portray Africa the way Africans see it. Often the stories are negative and are told by people who don’t live in Africa. There are so much of these stories that we end up believing them ourselves.

 Bila-wa is a platform that uses the fusion of poetry, hip-hop, storytelling, and local instruments for a positive cause. Bila-wa is used in Luo culture and we are focused on making sure that the issues in our community are heard.  The name Bila-wa comes from Luo words “Bila” (“a long circular tube from an animal’s horn”) and “wa” (“ours”), therefore Bil-awa means “Our Horn” or “Our Voices”.
