The passing of Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o is a profound loss to African literature, languages, and the humanities - a loss that resonates deeply with me.
Years ago, as an aspiring writer navigating the uncertainties of the publishing world, I felt lost and in desperate need of mentorship. During this time, I had a pivotal encounter with Mukoma wa Ngugi at the Winternachten Festival in The Hague in 2019.
