I continue my partnership with Goethe Namibia called Virtually Yours which is a series of online discussions – Virtual Gatherings – with contemporary authors from Africa. Virtually Yours aims to create an online platform for avid readers, writers, academics, publishers, agents, and anyone else interested in literature by writers from Africa. The series of online discussions held once a month from October has featured Niq Mhlongo, Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, Tendai Huchu, and Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda.

In May, the featured writer for Virtual Gathering is award-winning Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor from Kenya. One of her books, “The Dragonfly Sea” explores the life of a young woman struggling to find her place in a vast world of morality, fate, live and loss.
