1. How can we apply Kiki’s approach of celebrating life to losses in our own lives?
2. The women of Ingoma Nshya have been breaking gendered boundaries in drumming for almost twenty years, who are other people in the arts we can uplift who are making strides for gender equity?
3. Kiki writes a letter to her family to build a connection to loved ones she does not know. Who would you write a letter to?

Absolutely phenomenal story telling combined with beautiful music!
This was the powerful show I have ever been to. Thank you bringing this these amazing women. Their story and storytelling is phenomenal. Don’t forget those ingoma. I recommend everyone to go watch this show.
Fantastic show . I love love theater and have a high bar and have done a one woman show and this was stunning, moving and a show I won’t forget. Thank you .
The brother’s story tender, sweet and haunting. The grandfather exercise so interesting.
It was a beautiful show. I loved how she told the story in a beautiful way. She actually did accentuate on the life of the people instead of when their life ended tragically. Beautiful show
