He goes by the name PenBoy, but his works are far from what a boy would produce. Young and talented, he uses poetry and spoken word to express his views on the social and political issues affecting Cameroon, especially the Anglophone crisis.
PenBoy whose real name is Alemnge T Boris has been writing and performing for a while now. But his works started gaining more traction when he lent his voice to the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions – the Anglophone crisis.
PenBoy says he started honing his skills as a spoken word poet in 2018 while completing his Bachelor’s degree program in law. “Reading law made me realize that I didn’t actually want to be a lawyer but rather I loved the how idea behind being a lawyer which is advocacy,” he explains.
