#20. A Coffee With Anna Olila !!

So excited for you to listen to this 💕

Anna Wughanga Olila is a Kenyan poet, writer, and author. Her work lives at the intersection of technological advancements, Afro and female-related social, cultural, and political movements.

Her first body of work, a poetry chapbook, is available on Amazon. The book 'The Names They Call Me' is an exploration of the power names have. It explores the difference between what people call us and what we answer to, and how this informs our world view. It is a call for self-reflection and self-definition.

Olila hopes to contribute to the intellectual discourse and art revolving around womanism, Pan Africanism and equality for all.

We get into this and a little more in this episode!!
