[Jenipher Wachie, Standard]The smell of burning incense wafts through a tiny room where a group of Rastafarians is meeting. The Rastafari movement has strong roots in Ethiopia, which they believe to be the ultimate home of all Africans and the seat of Jah, who they believe to be the ultimate creator. Even though there is no official population of the Rastafarians in Kenya, Lojuron says they are many, and the number has been rapidly growing. Rastafarians believe in creating heaven down here,” he says. He says that unlike other religions that go about preaching and hoping to fish converts, the Rastafari movement believes one is born with a “Rastafari heartbeat”.
