We’ve been in touch with @XtalBirungi who has written about malaria and mosquitoes 🦟… it would be good to explore her work together as we get to encouraging a strong reading culture

🕯️ Your soul lives through every letter,
every word that bore the weight of truth.
To the many of us you gave the courage to write, to reclaim, to speak ✍️
We will not weep, no, child…
Your words taught us to decolonise the mind.
Sleep well, Ngũgĩ. The pen still rises.

As we celebrate the life of Ngugi wa Thiong’o, who can share favorite quotes from "Weep Not, Child" (1964)?
It’s about the Mau Mau uprising and its impact on ordinary people. Pic credit: internet #ripngugiwathiongo
