Philosophy graduate student Olufemi Taiwo, who performs under the stage name Femi, plays his original song “276 (Bring Back Our Girls)” to raise awareness and funds in support of the 276 girls kidnapped by the terrorist organization Boko Haram in Chibok, Nigeria. The Nigerian-American Femi shares a personal connection to the tragedy but believes we are all connected to it.
“The idea is that the first thing we can do is just see it as having something to do with us,” Femi said. “And not presume the answer would be ‘no.'”
