I grew up in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Uvira, South-Kivu, Malawi

I currently live in Malawi, Lilongwe, Dzaleka Refugee Camp, Malawi

I was raised in Swahili, Kifuliiru, French. (languages)

I read and write in Swahili, Kifuliiru, French, English. (languages)

I write Short_stories. (genres)

I write for school.

Reason why I write: To showcase local culture, traditions, and history. This helps preserve and promote Uvira's rich heritage among students, also to provide educational content that aligns with the school curriculum, such as moral lessons, problem-solving, or critical thinking skills etc.

My favourite authors are Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Mariana Ba, Veronica A.M.N.Aning, Bessie Head, Ama Ata Aidoo, Yaani Gyasi.

My favourite stories on The GOAT PoL include Magdalena’s Mercy , The Karonga convoy: whispers of the bloodsuckers , A Canada Scholarship Saved My Sister from a Toxic Marriage , The first day of school , The School Reunion , Searching For School Fees ,

My favourite subject(s) to write about include Local Culture and Traditions, Adventure and Exploration, Friendship and Community, Personal Growth and Overcoming, Environment Awareness, Education and Ambition, Legends and Folktales, Family Dynamics.

The most difficult part I find about writing is Completion of Manuscript, Receiving Positive Feedback, Seeing Their work Published, Connecting with Other Writers, Influencing Others, Achieving Personal Growth

Most rewarding moment as a writer for me is Creating Relatable Characters, Inspiring Change, Winning an Award, Receiving Heartfelt Feedback, Teaching and Mentorship and Completing a Long Project.
