On February 6, 2015, Keita Otiba Kenyatta (eg. born 08/13/1956) passed away. He was 57 years old. Eye knew and loved him for only a short period of time; yet in that time Eye knew and understood him totally. Around the middle of December he told me that he didn't think he would make it to Xmas, yet he did. Near the end he was treated at a hospice facility. He suffered a great deal of pain mentally as well as physically, yet in the end --he accepted his own death.

Eye remember how eye tried to talk him out of creating that poem "To You, With Love" Eye am a private person, you see, but in the end eye could not resist letting everyone know eye was the object of his affection.

This is a picture of him painting my toe nails​

Keita wanted to be remembered for just what he was ---a Historian, a Poet, a Writer, a Public Speaker, a Publisher and an Activist. He was a man who held deep and astounding thoughts to the very end. He was a man who sought the truth, though angered by those truths accepted the reality of those truths. Eye will remember him always.

He requested to be cremated and his wishes will be honored.

OneLove,

I had no idea!

I was wondering. My heart is on the floor!
It is so wonderful to know you were with him. You have some beautiful feet. Such a lovely warm picture. Black love, so beatiful.

Even though I disagreed with some of his findings, I still adored him. I remember some of his last words to me was so kind, but I had no idea, it would be his last words!

I miss him. May he be resting in peace.

Thank you sister, for sharing.

WOW!
