I had the pleasure of experiencing the journey. Ahmed Kenya gets into the character and you can feel the essence of what Ibn Omar Sayyid went through. His performance is worthy of being seen over and over again. There were children in the audience ages ranging from 5 to 13 that were also mesmerized. Thank you Ahmed Kenya!

Ahmed Kenya's performace in "The Life and Times of Omar Ibn Sayyid" is a tour de force as he transforms into a 19th Century slave. His authenticity and attention to both the period and mood of such an agonizing experience can be felt far after the performance. Ahmed Kenya's performace held the audience spellbound as he retraced the steps of a captured and then runaway slave in search of a better existence. I would highly recommend this production to any and every student of American History
with an eye toward understanding the disconnect that prevails concerning this misunderstood and often ignored segment of the "Black Experience." This was truly an englightening experience that opens the door for a more complete examination of the nature and difficulties of the slave's existence in America.

I am a college librarian, and I helped my county's local history museum plan, promote, and present "The Life & Times of Omar Ibn Sayyid." The performance was outstanding as both education and entertainment. Ahmad Kenya did much more than give a voice to the character he portrayed, he also created a genuine human connection between the audience and a "living" personality from the past.

What I feel I love best about Images of the Motherland Interactive Theatre and its Living History Heritage Project, it pushes Americans to take a world view, to view history outside of America and Europe. While, taking this unexpected journey, one realizes the familiarity of the human. Their work is so important as well as extremely entertaining.

This company is fantastic. It's so much more than entertainment, it's a dynamic and interactive learning experience. Everyone, young and old and all colors of the rainbow should experience their performances, Timbuktu exhibit, and not only learn world and American history, but realize our common humanity.

IMAGES OF THE MOTHERLAND is an "OUTSTANDING" interactive production company. From the costumes, singing, dancing, musicianship, and acting, all are on equal ground when it comes to perfection!
Everyone should see this show. It's storytelling at it's best.

My son and I had an opportunity to see the "The Life and Times of Omar Ibn Sayyid" a short time ago. My son is 7yrs. old, I make this point because it provides context to how riveting the performance was! He was attentive throughout, asking questions, and intrigued by the environment. The play was insightful, with a superb performance by brother Kenya! I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of the performance; appreciative of the effort it takes to keep people engaged without the modern day bells and whistles. You could hear a pen drop throughout the performance. This play could be seen in the Kennedy Center, and I will continue to advocate its excellence to all those I come across. Best, R. Byrd

This is a brief note about how we of Trenton, New Jersey enjoyed the presentation of the "Life & Times of Omar Ibn Sayyid". This program has been presented to the Community of Trenton on two different occaswionsw and on both occasions has been received with great enthusiasm. Ahmad Kenya does a presentation that is filled with such joy and emotion and the response from the audience is one of awe. The presentation and the historical content is something we should all have knowledge of, especially the children. Mr. Kenya's educational workshop "Timbuktu African Artifacts Exhibit & Workshop" that takes place after the performance as well as his artifacts display needs to be seen by all. It is with great pleasue that I express these few words about a performance and a performer that I personally can watch many times over. I pray that this perfomance is seen by many, many more communities in our aa and across the country. Hajji Imam Dr. Abdul-Malik R. Ali, Resident Imam, Masjidut-Taqwa, Trenton, N.J.
