Lowkey about high matters
I believe one person can make a difference, but can one person make a difference in few cases in the same time?
I’ve been introduced to Lowkey and his work only recently. This young musicians, poet and activist of British and Iraqi descent is through his music trying to bring society’s attention to issues in the Middle East.
He not only writes about problems in the Arab world but also takes active part in protest and lectures on those subjects. In 2009 Lowkey traveled to Gaza with humanitarian and medical aid. In his speeches he talks about his brothers in different Arab countries dealing with different issues.
It’s great one person is trying to change so much, but when it comes to such complex issues is one voice enough? I’m not trying to underestimate other supporters and organizations here, I just wonder if one man can handle so much and put the same amount of effort into all of them.
The Middle East definitely needs supporters who can show the world different image of an Arab man and who can bring more help to those who need it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and places we don’t hear in a media. It’s time to listen to people like Lowkey, and multiply them, so there are millions of them for each case.
