Profile
PENBOY is a poet and spoken word artist based in Cameroon. PENBOY’s artistic practice was greatly inspired by the spark of the 2016 anglophone crisis in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon, which saw the destruction of human lives and property, the violation of basic human rights of indigenous people and the unjust treatment of minority and vulnerable groups, such as women and children. Through his work, he aims to bring awareness and be a voice against the injustice, violations, killings, and other forms of inhumane practices being perpetrated in his country.
PENBOY is the winner of the international World Bank YouthActOnEDU Spoken Word Competition, and he has also won the Sisterspeak237 Digital Literacy Contest and the African Podcast and Voice Award, among many others.
