Joy. Joy is a choice. Today artists extraordinaire June Gachui and Pete Odera join me to SING, talk, share what this year has been for them and how they have chosen joy in their work and personal lives. Many of you know June Gachui (@junegachui) for her many roles on stage as a speaker, singer, actress and host but she is also an intellectual property lawyer who is passionate about the law and artistic expression. June graces us with her voice, humor and shares what 2020 has taught her about herself. Pastor Pete Odera (@peteodera) joins us and shares three decades of wisdom from being a pastor, singer, producer, writer and mentor. As Pastor of Waterbrook Church and widely appreciated as godfather of Kenyan gospel music, Pete has walked valleys and reached mountain tops and shares why melancholy - and joy - are valuable. THANK YOU, friends, for listening to Up/Root this year. I am so grateful for you and would love to hear from you - send me a message at @uprootandlill on IG and Twitter or email: [email protected]. The last three episodes would not have been possible without the creative commitment of my seasonal producer, Mwari Muthaura. Thank you, dada! Up/Root is edited by Bukachi Akatsa ([email protected])and the show jingle is written and performed by my daughter Selah Piper.
