In this episode of Written by You: The Literacy Podcast, I sit down with Natasha Omokhodion, a Zambian author, entrepreneur, and advocate for authentic storytelling. Known for her debut novel, No Be From Hia, as well as her latest work, Even If The Stars Should Fall, Natasha’s work delves into themes of migration, identity, and family, drawing from her multicultural roots as a British-born writer of Nigerian and Jamaican descent.

🌟 What You’ll Learn:

• How Natasha’s heritage shaped her storytelling and inspired No Be From Hia
• The importance of Zambians telling their own stories and contributing to the creative economy
• Her journey from self publishing to founding Copper Monstera, her own publishing and content curation firm
• Why fiction is a powerful tool for exploring personal and cultural histories

💡 “Every book a writer creates is a reflection of the books they’ve read before it. Writing is a cycle of inspiration.” – Natasha Omokhodion
