Wait a minute, who is EsTaa again?
Not only is she a poet and a musician, but a journalist, a storyteller, a playwright, a social worker, a song composer and a woman passionate about her faith in God.
In 2011 she co-wrote a Musical 'Move: The Time is Now' that was staged at The National Museum Theatre in Dar Es Salaam. She recently performed her original poems at The Smart Partnership Dialogue Meeting held in Dar es Salaam that was attended by Commonwealth Heads of States and different dignitaries. Alongside Poet Haji Gora and Author Allistair Hazell, she shared her work at Jahazi Jazz and Literary Festival in August 2013.
Using her own life experience, Es Taa’s passion is to unearth matters that people would rather not talk about openly, to bring healing through authentic lyrics that have been birthed through her own quest of life's purpose. She also seeks to use art as a tool of social change by addressing issues of human rights and social justice in a way that people can relate to.
