Description:
This week, we are joined by one of Zambia's emerging literary jewels, Musonda Mukuka, who shares her journey with us from growing up in the country to developing an affinity for writing. She gets honest with us about her flair for exploring multiple creative mediums of expression, her innate reaction to winning the 2026 Ubwali Hope Prize, and the genuine inspiration behind writing "Tethered." This and more on the show. It was a pleasure to have Musonda on the podcast. Enjoy the episode.
Key Takeaways:
