The power of a story.
WANJIKU WA NGUGI’S life is not just fascinating, it’s also inspiring. Wa Ngugi was born in Kenya surrounded by a storytelling culture and family members that were constantly gobbling up books because “that’s all we ever really did, we all just read brutally at home.” Though she studied political science and sociology at New York University literature was always her calling. Thus she began working as an editor for the American publishing house Africa World Press (AWP).
