Hellooo! My name is Tom Patrick Nzabonimpa, and I am the guest host for #PoetMeUp for the month of August. #PoetMeUp is a weekly series of poetry readings featuring new and well-renowned Rwandan poets. Today, we're going to host Nina Salim, a Rwandan young artist, screenwriter, poet, theater writer, and actress. She has been writing short stories, poems, theater scripts, and quotes for 17 years and has also attended literature classes in Burundi and learned some technics for writing novels and stage play poetry in Rwanda. 

Nina works part-time as a performing artist, and screenwriter of short movies, and does narration of movies. Through a unique rhythm of poetry, she does spoken word in French on stage in a way of evasion with background music which sets her poetry among the most unique in Burundi, Rwanda, and Africa. She going to read for us three pieces, named "Enfonçure", "Au delà". and "Stop la violence au femmes!" Enjoy the poems.
