About.



 

Hello world! 

Osano Brian is my name. for those of whom we have interacted in the streets of art, feel free to call me Poetic Hans. it's my pen name. l am a writer and poetry is something I enjoy. I am a student, taking a Bachelor's Degree in Education with Guidance and Counseling and  I am passionate about Psychology.

I am a Mental Health Advocate especially among the youth. I use avenues of art, writing and social spaces as a way of promoting Mental health awareness especially among the youth. I have worked as a Radio Talk Show Host, which was based on the concept of "solution oriented" counselling. My main focus is to ensure that people in crisis  are able to move forward through the most difficult times. This includes emotional and behavioral issues related to their lives including: divorce or separation. It also includes making decisions about personal care for those who require medical attention for both the physical and emotional well being of the family member (the parent). A brief assessment and planning of the treatment plan is also required so as to ensure the best possible outcome of the care taken.

I have also participated in Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights advocacy where we aim to promote sexual and reproductive health among the young people as well as engaging the leaders in promoting aspects Sexual and Reproductive Health within their governments for a better approach towards the issue. I also take part in social accountability aspects such as spreading sexual education among the youth through social media as well as physical spaces. 

I write stories on various blogs as well as host a podcast where I get to write and talk about the different issues that we as young people interact with in our day to day activities and how we maneuver through them. looking forward to growing into an authentic story teller aiming at telling Africans stories out to the world. 

.In the words of Albert Einstein, Try not to become a man of success but a man value. I look forward to being in spaces that aim to make the world a better place.

The TellTales of a Teacher: What do you want to become when you grow up?

  Image by Freepik. Growing up I have wanted to be a lot of things. I remember planes really did fascinate me...like how does something so huge and heavy manage to float in air. Out of curiosity, I decided when I grow up, I want to become a pilot. By class six, out of peer pressure I shifted geers, everyone wanted to be come a doctor and so did I. By class seven half of the class had read Ben Carson and every doctor in the room now wanted to become a neurosurgeon...and you know what guys, so did I haha. Well, by class eight my grades were good enough so I entered high school still wanting to become a doctor, not a neurosurgeon this time though, but a pediatrician. That actually sounded classy to me and I too wanted to be associated with class.  There was this moment in form two that I watched some clip on cesarian section...or that term they use when they refer to  delivery through surgery. With that my dream of becoming a doctor died, that thing gave me goosebumps and I ...

REDEFINING MASCULINITY

The current definition of masculinity is limited and this limited understanding is what is leading us to aggression. We are made to conform in understanding that masculinity is associated with toughness, self reliance, stoicism and acquisitiveness. Manhood is considered to having socially regressive traits in an aim to retain dominance. According to the 1970’s television show  THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN  ‘we can rebuild……….better than he was before’. It is no secret that we have been conditioned to suppress our fears and feelings but project our confidence as men. As young men we were taught that we should wipe our tears as tears were reserved for girls. In the instances where we felt insecure or inadequate we were told to’ man up’. These traits fail to nurture sensitivity in men who have been denied the right to being vulnerable. This simply did no good than prioritizing emotional distance rather than emotional intimacy. The many incidences in our society today ranging from s...

How Did We End Up Here?

I know, it feels like I’ve taken a million years to get back to you. But hold up, guys—you can’t stone me for that! I was in love . If you were in my shoes, trust me, you’d get it. But don’t worry, I’m here now, flipping back to the pages we once shared. It was one of those whirlwind romances—full of light, late-night talks, and endless inside jokes. They built their love on shared dreams, stolen glances, and Ed Sheeran’s lyrics playing softly in the background. Everything seemed perfect, as if the universe had handed them a script destined to last forever. It was love in its purest form, a promise to grow old together, laughing through the wrinkles and savoring the slow passage of time. But, like many love stories, cracks began to form. Slowly at first, almost invisible. Then came that Sunday afternoon. One simple conversation, with the sun streaming through the window and their hands gently interlocked, would change everything. The words between them picked up speed, and before they ...
