Today we welcome Akinyi from the Semi Scribbled Podcast to talk her 'life in books.' Akinyi chats to Sarah and shares the books that have had a lasting effect on her life. Semi Scribbled Podcast discusses inspirational books written by black authors. We're always in awe that Akinyi hosts this podcast solo, yet manages to be hugely engaging, thought provoking and a joy to listen to.
