Hollywood star Omari Hardwick has touched down in Kenya—not just as an actor, producer, and poet, but as a powerful force of inspiration for young creatives.
From his iconic role in Power to his deep love for storytelling, his visit to HQ Kenya House in Tatu City is more than just a high-profile appearance—it’s a celebration of art, ambition, and cultural connection.
During an exclusive interview with TV 47 at HQ Kenya House on Sunday March 16, 2025 in the morning, Omari made a lasting impression.
Beyond celebrating the launch of the private members’ club, his presence has sparked conversations about creativity, empowerment, and cultural exchange.
Speaking on Kenya’s vibrant creative scene, Omari emphasized the power of representation. “In my films, I strive to empower young people. When they see me—a Black man—making it, they think, ‘If Omari can do it, why can’t I?’” he shared passionately. His message resonated deeply with young artists striving for global recognition.
When asked what advice he’d give his younger self—wisdom that could guide aspiring creatives—his response was simple yet profound: “Find out what you are good at and do it with passion.” A reminder that success is built on self-awareness, dedication, and hard work.
The conversation took a lighter turn when we introduced him to the viral Swahili phrase “Panda kitanda”—a cheeky fan favorite. Omari, ever the entertainer, laughed and repeated the phrase, fully embracing the humor and charm of Kenyan culture.
More than just a celebrity visit, Omari’s presence in Kenya is a celebration of creativity, ambition, and cross-cultural inspiration.
His words will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on young Kenyan creatives, encouraging them to dream big and pursue their passions fearlessly.
