The team at the Malindi Museum Society has organised a book drive to get all of Meja Mwangi’s publications, including translations, under one roof. I am truly grateful, over the moon, and everything happy about this initiative as it is the best gift for any community!!❤️📚

Meja Mwangi kept Kenyan and African Literature alive through popular literature when novels and plays by Ngugi and Micere were banned by the Moi dictatorship and the writers exiled. I am excited to be a part of this Thank You Note to Meja. See you on the 8th of Jan!

I feel utterly speechless at this moment, but I must share about the incredible person in my life, not just as an author but as a dear friend. Oh dear Meja, my guiding force, I will dearly miss your laughter and endless joy. Thank you for transforming the literary world,
