Reading at the London Literary Festival

Wasafiri New Writing Prize Ceremony

I was asked to do a reading as part of the London Literary Festival at the Wasafiri Prize Ceremony. I read an excerpt from my short story, Just a Body Part, set in Kampala in 2005, during the days when The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler was banned by the government for being pornographic.

My story is also a monologue and I explore what it means to endure every day acts of violence in the home, and what minute acts of resistance could mean.

My story is published in Edition 125 of Wasafiri.
