Thairu "B.I.G. Nel" Obuya is a multidimensional force — an author, educator, combat athlete, and community leader whose work sits at the intersection of strategy, legacy, and liberation. With a mind sharpened by theory and praxis, and a message shaped for the people, Obuya channels ancient wisdom through modern platforms, crafting narratives that resonate from the streets to the academy.

As the author of "SOULS OF BLACK FOLKS: Black Political Thought in the U.S.A.", Obuya brings political theory to life with a voice that’s cryptic, courageous, and clear. His background as an educator fuels his commitment to making knowledge not only accessible, but actionable — especially for the next generation of thinkers and leaders.

Trained in the physical disciplines of combat sports, he approaches life and leadership with the same precision and purpose he brings to the ring: read the opponent, move with intention, and strike with meaning.

A grassroots organizer and digital strategist, Obuya builds movements like he builds campaigns — with style, power, and a deep sense of cultural responsibility. Whether in a classroom, on a TikTok screen, or at a community event, his mission is constant: to awaken, inform, and empower Black minds for the battles of today and the victories of tomorrow.
