Otako, the host of Hear My True Story, who shares his hilarious and heartwarming journey as a Ugandan migrant in Germany and how he found solace and inspiration in the works of Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, one of the most celebrated Ugandan authors.
We also listen to Jenifer Nansubuga Makumbi, who shares her invaluable insights into the art of crafting compelling stories and her journey of navigating the world of publishing across continents. She reveals the secrets behind her literary success, from her award-winning debut novel “Kintu” to her latest works, “The First Woman” and “A Girl is a Body of Water.” She also explains how she has masterfully woven African narratives into the fabric of Western literature.
