Inside the mind of an Author: A conversation with Rudo Manyere

Storytellers characterize a period of time as custodians of its history. We know of societal issues which occurred in the Elizabethan era because of writers like Shakespeare, and closer to home we have discovered our voice on the continent through writers like Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie. The role of storytellers is indispensable and it grows in importance now more than ever as we are challenged with numerous societal issues. For a long time, the story of Africa has not been told by its natives but in this era young Africans are beginning to rebrand Africa telling its story from a local’s perspective.

Rudo Manyere is one such writer who characterizes this exciting zeitgeist. Her love for stories has inspired her to take up numerous roles as an advocate of African literature. Whether in her capacity as a scriptwriter, author or booktuber her unrivaled passion for literature is contagious.

We sat down with Rudo to discuss humble beginnings, “3:15 am and Other Stories” as well as what makes a great book.

One of Harare’s most stylish tastemakers Marcus “the Energy Dokta” Zvinavashe gives us an insightful prescription

Community drives development, at the heart of every grand milestone you’ll find a community that worked in cohesion to get things done. There are several ways to form a tribe, with the easiest way being assembling people based on shared values. Looking back to the conceptual days of Hollywood before it became a billion-dollar industry, it began as a tribe of creatives determined to be successful through the language of film. History repeats itself perpetually, now in the city of Harare, a place we call home, we have a tribe of creatives who are determined for success by speaking the language of fashion.

Creative Sajeni is taking a stance against Climate Change

Amongst several world topical issues, very few overshadow climate change in terms of importance. The effects of climate change cannot be ignored. Proof of the need for reform has been noted as strange weather patterns have led to the rarity of rain in Southern African winters. A threat not only to people but the broader biodiversity, rampant unaddressed pollution is the biggest threat to our society. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) sixth assessment report on the state of our climate, the past decade is likely to have been the hottest period in the last 125,000 years. From the monsoons in Asia to the veld fires in Australia we have witnessed signs of a neglected planet pleading for help.
