Dear African writers✍🏿📚
Thank you for picking up your pen, even when your hands were trembling.
Thank you for telling our stories, in all their pain and beauty, with courage and truth.
You remind us that we are not voiceless. Our histories, myths, laughter, and tears are not forgotten. You carry generations in your ink. You write in languages the world once told us to forget. And still, you rise.
From the dusty paths of forgotten villages to the noise of city streets, you write us whole.
Here’s to poets, novelists, storytellers, historians, playwrights, dreamers, and rebels. You are not just writers. You are healers. You are architects of memory. You are fire.
Africa thanks you. We see you. We read you. We celebrate you. You are our HEROES.
