Chris Abani

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. I want to share with you this video of Chris Abani who was a political prisoner in his native Nigeria at various times during 1985 and 1991. He was held in solitary confinement, tortured and was on death row after being sentenced to death for treason. This acclaimed novelist and poet spoke at the 2007 Ted Talks. I encourage you to watch and listen.

Namaste,
Reggie
