In a dream I heard a word, and the word was Tsagwa. I knew that it meant something important and what followed this dream was a series of visons and communications with the ancestors through meditations which then lead to synchronistic events and divinely planned people that started flowing into my life.

I am so grateful to be a part of the Rastafarian Society of Kenya’s (RSK) Afforestation Project whereby 10 trees were planted and dedicated in my honor and in the honor of our Kenya PMB team during their first tree planting launch.

Sankara Nyagaya, RSK and planning committee member, in a message to me: “We launched our national tree planting on Tuesday. The ambassador for Venezuela was our guest of honour. It was Amazing! I have ten trees planted in honour of Michelle Quazi and the greater PMB team! I’ll bring you to see them once you come visit. You are also supposed to name those 10 trees. I named one of them PMB and the other 9 are for you to name.”

The Rastafari Society Of Kenya, RSK, marked Marcus Garvey day by planting trees at Oloolua

RSK chairperson, Lojuron Jaden announced the plan by the society to work with the Kenya Forest Service, KFS, in helping restore indigenous trees after the group was identified as one of the forests’ user groups.

‘’We being one of the groups that have been allowed to use the forest in a positive way by also taking care of it, we are also involving the youth in the restoration of the forest which will help in restoring the indigenous species of the forest and not just the exotic ones that have dominated forests today’’, Lojuron stated.

9 TRIBES, 9 TREES

The 9 additional trees have now been named with very special names in honor of the ancestors wishes!

The first name that came to me immediately was Kitsao, an elder of the Mijikenda tribe (meaning 9 tribes) of Kilifi who frequented the Tsagwa Forest. He recently returned from a long journey from Tsagwa shortly before he passed on to join his ancestors. Kitsao Wanje and I had a very special connection through my dear friend, Samuel Wanje, who is also a member of the tribe and family member of Kitsao’s. I was shown through communications with the ancestors in my visions that Samuel and I now play a very important role for the tribal ancestors; to help protect the forest and the rights of the tribal elders. I was also shown that Samuel is very important to the ancestors and to the tribe and that he has the role to carry their traditions forward to future generations.

It was because of a company that I work with, PMB, that I met Samuel, Kitsao and the members of the RSK. I was introduced to the RSK by one of my dear friends and business partners, Larry Dwayne. He too is a part of the visions I’ve had. He is doing amazing environmental work as well with a project, Adopt a River Initiative. After having a personal meeting with Larry and the RSK, several members of the RSK decided to join the company that brought us all together to promote the benefits of hemp for health.

One of my visions I had before meeting Sankara and Lojouron of the RSK, was about the trees. I found myself in tears after Sankara, without being aware of this vision, told me that ten trees were planted in my honor. I felt compelled at that time to share my vision with him and shortly after, Sankara told me that the visions inspired him do their next tree planting in the Tsagwa forest, where everything started for me in a dream. Kitsao would be so proud to receive this news!

KIM-EARTHY AFFAIR

Kenya Is My Earthy Affair is a community based organisations in Kenya Kajiado County with its headquarters in Ngong Town. The Focus of the organisation is on Environment, Art, Culture and the general empowerment of the community at large.

The society seeks to plant 3 million trees across forests in Kitui, Nakuru, Kisumu and Makueni counties and now in Malindi/Tsagwa. They are currently planting trees in Kakamega forest with their next planting planned in the Tsagwa forest.

I am excited to announce that I will personally be attending the tree planting ceremony in Tsagwa in October 2021.

ENVIRONMENTALIST & EARTH WARRIORS

The ancestors, the elders of the tribes, and the RSK and I would be so grateful if you feel inspired to donate to Kim-Earthy Affair to help us carry our mission forward to support the tribes, the traditional cultures and communities, and so that Mother Earth is nourished and is able to help sustain all life on this planet.
