I believe literature has the power to inspire, advocate, communicate, and impact generations far beyond mere preaching.
That’s why spaces like @KlaWrites are priceless, especially for those of us coming up in the world of creatives. They give us room to learn, connect, express ourselves, and use our voices to create meaningful impact.
It was a pleasure catching up with you, Ronah. ❤️
This weekend, I had the joy of joining fellow writers from Uganda and around the world at the @KlaWrites. It was such a beautiful experience learning, meeting new people, sharing ideas, and listening to different stories. I came back with a renewed love for writing and even more inspiration to keep putting my thoughts and stories on paper.@Kwesiga_Emma @akankundallen
Highlights from the final day of the Kampala Writes Liftest!

SOMETIMES CHILDREN USE THEIR WRITTING TO COMMUNICATE THEIR STRUGGLES TO US
What I experienced while moderating at the Kampala Writes LitFest 2026 is something beyond my imagination, and I cannot be more happy that it actually happened.

"I track analytics and we have between 2000 and 7000 site visits at Africanbooks.com and yet we don't advertise, this is all from interest" - Lena Mirembe Pira

"The real African story did not start with ISBN. The real African story survived because no one owns it. It has no copyright" - Bazil Onen
