Ras Masinde
Ras Masinde, 50, became intrigued by Rastafari as a child after meeting a man with dreadlocks, which led him to embrace the movement after secondary school in the 1990s. He is passionate about promoting a return to cultural roots for Black people and strongly advocates for the legal recognition of Rastafari practices, including the use of marijuana, which he sees as essential to spiritual freedom.
