Description:
Dawa ya moto ni moto is a Swahili proverb that means "Medicine for fire is fire." English speakers are probably familiar with the phrase "Fight fire with fire." This piece expresses the most positive connotation of that phrase, encouraging us to bring the same level of energy, passion, and intensity to overcoming a challenge as the challenge presents to us. It is a piece about determination and strength in the face of opposition. The message of this piece can be summed up as follows: "In the world, there is fire that destroys and consumes, but there is also fire that releases power, energy, warmth, and light. Let the fire in us be the second fire."
