I am shocked to hear that a new novel reviewed by the New York Times and promoted by many mainstream influencers and voices can’t even be found front of store with new fiction! Do you even read the books or just decide a Kenyan voice is not mainstream?

.@ExclusiveBooks are you too guilty of #colorcoding? Even as an Africa-based book chain? When do you decide to relegate novels to your pan African/African fiction sections &do you have sections to similarly relegate European stories/authors?Are white voices considered mainstream?

😳 @FoxNews! What is this? What is @EmilyCompagno saying? That in Kenya pregnant women can’t leave the house so they have no right to vote? What does she imagine our country is like? That statement is incorrect, misleading, condescending and should be withdrawn.
