stoneface bomba

Stoneface Bombaa (Brian Otieno Akoth) is a community organizer at the Mathare Social Justice Centre (MSJC), where he runs the MSJC Kids' Club and Art for Social Change. He is also a member of the Mathare Green Movement, a volunteer group that, through planting trees throughout the informal settlement, practices collective imagination and action.  Stoneface's mission is to help young people in Mathare understand the systemic nature of the everyday violence that shapes their lives. In 2020, along with journalist April Zhu, he created and voiced "Until Everyone Is Free," a podcast on the life and work of socialist freedom fighter Pio Gama Pinto. The podcast was featured on VICE, Xinhua, Paukwa, Daraja Press, Awaaz Magazine; Stoneface has since been invited to speak at the Georgetown University Doyle Seminar, Africa Podfest, The Museum of British Colonialism, BookBunk, and Baraza Media Lab. His writing on police killings has also been published in The Elephant, an independent Kenyan publication.
