My father Ngugi wa Thiong'o physically abused my late mother β he would beat her up. Some of my earliest memories are me going to visit her at my grandmotherβs where she would seek refuge. But with that said it is the silencing of who she was that gets me. Ok- I have said it.
Congrats Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga on this well deserved achievement.
There's certainly only one way to live forever; that is writing a book (s). What a pathway to greatness!
I am thrilled that my fourth book of poems is now with my publisher. The day that Ugandaβs dictator Yoweri K Museveni imprisoned me for one birthday poem that I wrote for him in 2018, was the day my commitment to publish my poems was born. Cover photo by Rick Burger - Berlin 2023.
