His entourage from Tatu City also had the same Maasai shuka over their shoulders.
Additionally, he will engage with ‘Chocolate City’ cast. This new Showmax series will premiere on March 20. The crime drama features Kenya’s top actors such as Jimmy Gathu, a radio personality turned actor.
Who Owns HQ Kenya House?
American investor John Burns is a co-founder of HQ Kenya House. Burns is a managing partner of The Burns Brothers, an exclusive member-only club located in Washington D.C. The intent behind setting up the exclusive, members-only club in Tatu City is to bridge the gap between Black Americans and Africa. Being at the club helps them connect easily to African roots and do business. They chose Tatu City as their base due to its exclusive nature as a mixed-use residential area. With Omari Hardwick Kenyan visit, Burns is optimistic that his presence will inspire more Black Americans to come together and work towards elevating the Black community standards across the world.

Who is Omari Hardwick?
Omari Hardwick is a celebrated American actor mostly known for his role in TV series Power. Known as Ghost or James St. Patrick in the Starz-produced series, Hardwick cuts an image of a smart drug baron running a multi-million-dollar club in New York to cover his tracks. He even falls in love with a DEA agent, Angela Vasquez, and this brings a rift in with his wife, Tasha and son Tariq.
He is from Savannah, Georgia born to American attorney Clifford Hardwick III and Joyce Hardwick. He always loved acting and started off at an early age as a poet but transitioned to a sportsman in high school. He played football and basketball for the University of Georgia. His dream was to be drafted by the NFL during his university days where he minored in acting too.
However, this did not happen and he chose the screen over football. Even with all the glamour of Omari Hardwick Kenya visit, he struggled for years as an actor until the day he met 50 Cent. The American rapper owns Starz Entertainment, a production company behind the iconic Power series casting him as the lead actor. Everything fell into place from then.
