The Neo Kizomba Festival is over. Not postponed. Over.After 8 editions over 10 years, I didn't expect to be writing these words under these circumstances.
But for the first time in over a decade, I'm choosing myself.
I wore every hat. Carried every risk. Gave everything I had to this scene under extreme circumstances, and it cost me more than most people will ever know.
I'm not disappearing. But I can't carry this any longer.
I wrote the full story — the economics, the sacrifices, the accusations, and why I went silent.
The letter includes refund details and a way to donate toward closing the festival equitably.

8 Editions. 10 Years.
The festival is done. I'm taking what's left of me and reinvesting it back into myself.
— Charles Ogar, "Mr. Neokiz"
