Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week writing as activism is taking us to a land with a long history of activist thought ans action - Ireland. Born and raised in Nigeria, Dagogo Hart migrated to Ireland at an early age to complete his studies and now calls it home along with his young family. He is a poet, playwright, and spoken word artist whose words have wowed audiences from bar basements to electric picnic stages. He started performing in Dublin in 2016 in open mics and poetry slams, which saw him win the Slam Sunday grand slam and become an All Ireland poetry slam finalist. Since then he has performed for festivals like Electric Picnic, St. Patricks, Dublin Fringe, Drogheda literary festival, Cuirt International Poetry Festival, and First fortnight. He is one-third of the collective WeAreGriot - a poetry collective that curates art events around poetry. His personal works include, The Home Project (a series of poetry films), RedBeard Paddy (a poetry short film), Mmanwu (a play in the 2023 Dublin Fringe Festival), See True (a spoken word variety show) and Boy Child (a spoken-word play), the last two co-written with FeliSpeaks, Talkatives; a hip-hop and poetry slam as part of WeAreGriot. As you'll learn in our conversation and glean from his works, his poetry is inspired by his hometown in Lagos, Nigeria, and his experience since moving to Ireland. See Dagogo on stage at Pa Gya! 2024 performing his words here (https://www.youtube.com/live/Oovils3mV7o?si=Dl9TE-EqGvvNV0vK) and in discussion about his works here (https://www.youtube.com/live/fEFByAZDgwo?si=s32fQt58aspsPkOQ).

This summer, Vodafone boosted connectivity by placing temporary sites at ten major events across the country, including, Bloom, Kaleidoscope, Flavours of Fingal, All Together Now, Tullamore show, Moynalty Steam Threshing and Electric Picnic, as well as events within Malahide Castle. St Annes Park and Marlay Park, including Longitude Festival. Looking back at the traffic, the team at Vodafone saw that the network handled more than 140 terabytes (TB) of data, equivalent to about 11 years of streaming videos, and approximately 2 million voice calls, facilitating customers' need to stay connected and share their special moments. As anticipated, Electric Picnic struck a chord, amping up over 40% of the total data and dialling in over 50% of the total calls across these summer events. The recent Fleadh in Wexford, and Electric Picnic showcased an array of app usage among attendees, highlighting the evolving needs and interests of festival-goers. Not surprisingly for Ireland, weather apps were among the most popular. Approximately 40,000 Vodafone customers at the Fleadh and 50,000 at Electric Picnic checked in on the apps to stay informed about weather conditions. Map apps also played a crucial role, guiding around 50,000 Fleadh attendees and 45,000 Electric Picnic goers. Additionally, social media and communication apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok saw substantial usage, enabling festival-goers to share their experiences and memories in real-time. In addition to summer events, Ireland welcomed global superstars Taylor Swift and Coldplay to our shores. Vodafone's network team prepared for uplifts in data traffic at these major concerts. At the Taylor Swift's shows, Vodafone recorded record-breaking data consumption at the Aviva, with traffic peaking each night the moment she took to the stage. Similarly, during Coldplay's performances, the network handled a significant increase in data usage, particularly on Sunday when Aslan made their first surprise appearance. The network upgrades across these events underscore Vodafone's commitment to delivering a reliable service. By effectively managing substantial data volumes and maintaining consistent connectivity, Vodafone has facilitated a seamless experience for their customers throughout the summer at multiple events.

The bells, the whistles, the fanfare, the flags and an awful lot less celebrities made this year's DNC a sight to behold. Marion McKeone jetted in straight from Electric Picnic. I caught up with her just before Kamala Harris made the most important speech of her life. Did this convention pack the punch it needed to? Or did we get the Instagram version of events?
