ā€˜I Gave Myself Permission to Write a Black Villainessā€™ WayĆ©tu Mooreā€™s First Draft

Liberian novelist and author of She Would Be King, WayĆ©tu Moore, wants Africans to tell their own stories: ā€˜A recent book I read portrayed Africa as a uniform experienceā€”overly simplified and stripped of nuance. It reminded me of why it is so important for Africans to tell our own stories, showing the plurality of our voices, our struggles, and our triumphs.ā€™
