b'CW: Suicide, Homophobia, Misogyny, Queerphobia\\n\\nFestus has got the talent to talk about serious issues without ever losing the smile on his face. After his political awakening he had to reflect on his life so far and reconsider every bit of media he consumed. Movies, music, tv shows, everything faced a higher standard.

However, when everything has such a heavy weight, it is important to keep a safe space where you can drop it all and just have a rest.\\n\\nEnter Q initiative. Although it originally started as a way for activists to fight for rights and legal issues, Festus is considering taking it more towards a safe space for queer people. In different local communities Q is an environment where queer folks in rural Kenya can be creative and me themselves. Potentially they might accidentally create a local scene of indie musicians in the process.\\n\\nConsider supporting though https://Patreon.com/Queersounds\\n\\nFlashback Track: Koffie Olomide \\u2013 Andrada\\nQueer Artist Spotlight: Lil Nas X \\u2013 Montero (Call me By Your Name)\\nBest Live Experience: Common \\u2013 Glory feat.
