Boldness..

It takes courage to confront the intricate conundrums life presents, and she embodies that courage effortlessly. She steps into these challenges fully prepared, embracing the role of a truth seeker with conviction and style, Hadibfo Merisha Is her name.


She isn’t just a poet; she’s a provocateur and a truth seeker. She stands at the edges of convention, her words crafted to make us question the unshakable and confront the concealed. 


She has the rare audacity to explore the shadowed corners of existence those questions of love, identity, and belief that linger behind closed doors. “I admire the hell out of atheists; I wish I could be one of them,” she muses, not to undermine but to probe what many dare not say aloud.


On stage, her voice isn’t just heard it’s felt. It reverberates, capturing fragments of human experience that most overlook or avoid, piecing them together in ways that resonate deeply. 


Her artistry is not just a performance but a mirror, reflecting both the beautiful and the controversial with fearless honesty.


As the director of an esteemed artistic organization Eldoret Art Cafe, and someone who has spent over half a decade in Eldoret and beyond cultivating spaces for the raw and the real, building a platform for art that speaks to life’s complexity. Her poetry events and insightful conversations have become a refuge for those seeking to question, to feel, and to connect. Her relentless passion and talent have positioned her as a beacon in the artistic community, proving that true art is born from the courage to speak the unspeakable.


In Merisha’s world, nothing is off limits. She treads where most dare not go, drawing from the depths of human complexity to craft verses that are unapologetic and fearless. With every line she writes and every stage she commands, she doesn’t just perform she challenges. 


She invites us to ask ourselves: 

Can we be as brave as the art we consume? 

Can we break through the barriers of our own understanding? 

Can we confront the sacred, the hidden, the unspoken? Can we question the truths that shape our lives?

Can we have societal norms conversations? 


Her words aren’t merely ink on paper or sounds in the air; they are moments of reckoning. Her poetry stirs the soul and stokes the fires of introspection, compelling us to examine beliefs we thought unshakeable. 


She is a poet who quenches the unquenchable thirst for meaning, for clarity, for catharsis. In every performance, she turns the unspeakable into something unforgettable, etching powerful truths into the hearts of all who experience her art. She's bold, She's a Force. Cheers To her boldness.
