This book by Simukai Chigudu is simply amazing! It goes straight into next term's development studies syllabus!

Such a powerful CASBS fellows seminar this week. Simukai Chigudu unveiled a piece of a memoir project that integrates his & his family's story w/the story of anti-colonial struggles in Africa What does it mean & what does it take to truly decolonize one's heart, mind, and identity?

LOL! Writing WHEN WILL WE BE FREE has by far been the hardest thing I have ever attempted to do in my life. I recently got a big extension on it cos there's so much more work to be done. Here's hoping that it's all worth it and the book can deliver on its promise! 😣🤞🏿

Recently, Simukai Chigudu has been on such a creative tear, writing so prolifically, that he's actually started listening to classic books on tape while writing his own book, just to slow the torrid pace He's seen here listening to "Finnegans Wake" at 1.5x speed. Just remarkable...

Fellowship, CASBS style

Spent a week Aspen Words in a memoir writing workshop with the inimitable Ashley C. Ford. So grateful to learn from her & to be with a courageous, talented group of writers who responded to my work with grace & creativity. WHEN WILL WE BE FREE? will be stronger for it!

Wow! Honoured and humbled to be included on this list in such esteemed company 🫡
