Achieng Owira - The Breadwinner (Framed)

He is just a boy who has been thrust into adulthood with unresolved childhood trauma and dreams that now feel so far fetched. 

Yet he is also the man who left home to change home. A man whose youth has been shadowed by the weight of responsibility. He recognizes the blessing of giving comes with the burden of black tax. 

His every move is scrutinized with a magnifying glass and used to weigh his masculinity. His mind constantly feels like a battlefield. Every morning he braves the day with the painful acceptance that he may never truly experience freedom.
