Bahati was born and raised in Tanzania, and then moved to California to pursue his college education. He graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology. Bahati expects to be doing his Masters in African Studies in the near future. He is currently working on starting a t-shirt business and a possible publication of some of his writings. One thing that Bahati cannot live without is music, specifically Hip Hop & Bongoflava which he argues are both the voice of the youth today, and is excited to look into how Bongoflava can be a source of further entrepreneurship among the youth in Tanzania. Bahati believes that Bongoflava can help to reduce poverty in Tanzania, as can a more collective effort among key players.

…Great work by these guys. The message in the animations is short and professional. Sometimes low self-esteem could lead to depression, a reason for most of the youth falling into drug abuse. I’m surprised that psychology studies are not given much emphasis both in funding and professional expertise while we see an increase in the urge for professional counselling in various behavioral avenues in our new Tanzania. It would be nice if we adopt these cheaper techniques to spread the word to our local communities. Parallel to this, emphasis on mass education, personal development, informal education and proper investment in development of arts, basic and applied research would really deter most of our youth from falling into clinical depression and drug abuse.
