Today, we celebrate the towering legacy of Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o, a literary giant whose pen has carved indelible marks across the landscape of African literature and consciousness.
As we mourn his demise at 87, this son of Kenya will forever inspire generations of writers, thinkers, and dreamers across our continent and beyond.
When Ngugi first put pen to paper decades ago with works like "Weep Not Child" and "The River Between", he did more than tell stories-he reclaimed the African narrative.
In a literary world dominated by colonial perspectives, he dared to center African voices, African struggles, and African triumphs.
