The eight-twelve with Nairobi Twala

Loading player...
Hi, I'm Nairobi Twala. Throughout my childhood, I've always been constantly aware of the world around me, constantly being exposed to the stories of those who came before me and aspire to cultivate change as a result of the lessons learned from those stories.
