Ibrahim Checkron Azariah Tembe, born 17 December 1993 is a Kenyan  Poet, Public Policy Advocate, Writer,  Playwright, Entrepreneur and philanthropist who is currently the CEO and COO of Horizon Independent Press based in Nairobi, Kenya. He is noted for self-publishing a corpus of over 6500 works of his own Poetry and  Short Plays. All within the span of four years. Not much is known as about his early life as he has been quoted to say " If I wrote a memoir then I'd have to write seven or eight of them- an autobiography would take the remaining years I have left."

He is known in the creative world for pioneering Jumii Moto or Swahili for community fire. Jumii Moto is a form of expression that has very strict guidelines in order to allow audience members to participate in the oration being done by the poets or the poet.

As a runner, he is noted for running Barefoot even under extreme conditions.
