. i love the archives because the kind of stories i write a sit in the past. and because i'm a writer of really fiction, i want my story to reflect accurate facts, for example, activities in my most recent level, out of darkness shining light, is the story of the african companions of david livingston. and the journey that they made. carrying his body for over 9 months from what is now loading ambia to what is now the east coast of tanza. near i wanted to flip the story, returned the gaze and tell the story from the perspective of the africans and not the story of the white explorer,

the missionary david livingston. so i had to spend a lot of time at indifferent archives around the world. and i found an incredible amount of treasure here in the national archives. yes, street is always told, from the perspective of the great men, whether it's david livingstone or civil john rose all robot mcguffey. i feel that my responsibility as, as well when writer is to tell this involved when story in a way that it hasn't fully been told before. and i plan to do that with every book that i write me. we're going to, we're going to the high 14. yeah. i'm setting up an entry office because i can write at home, but i like the illusion of having a job to go to,

especially when i'm writing and right now i'm facing as self imposed deadline. i need to finish a manuscript by the end of the year the i decided on that i wanted to be a writer, but i couldn't see how. it's only when i read to sit under him was book nervous condition. when i was already in law school, that i realized that a black and white woman could write novel in english because she was the 1st person to do it. so by the time i read her and for getting other, you know, 20 morrison alice walker and other black, a female i was already in law school and loving my subjects of law. so i put to myself, i can always be a riser. but as to want to be a lawyer at the time i wanted to solve, solve the middle east crisis. when i was in 40, i fell in love with international trade, little back. it's not a great background. i have a conference call, it's

a panel discussion for the international bar association with us and we're discussing the major trade issues that have been going on in the world between the us and china. ok. hello. how are you? hi, can you hear me? yes. in this a conference call, i'm worrying my head as international trade lawyer. there's also a price. what about what was the theme of my conversation? my part of the conversation is that africa thing when the elephant fight, if the graph that stuff people me to be the don't develop them and round. but only very few areas have been agreed on. and we are feeling the effect in, in the developing countries. because the tension is all focused on the trade to

the if it's a before, it's a believing that everything is normal, you know, people have their coffee morning. she had the cream of hard feel that kind of thing . but was across the road life just change the the so this isn't but it is the largest festival market in the country. it's also the place that is for many people will come to the city from elsewhere. the 1st point of contact to the city for me, it was many, many years ago. i think it was about 4 years old when i 1st came, somebody and the bus terminal from all rural village and to live in

a township called glenora. and probably nora within most of the stuff, the independent i need to you should i say my level math. ok. when you called and said something about the $1.00. so just got just pocket to my apple the with my 1st bill came up, it was received negatively by takes me away. i had

people call in the harold and the headline was 2 days judith, this carrier, it's in augusta is created the impression that's how was and anti government in the fall, and he's been bubbly writer. once you read my words, you realize that i'm just talking about the ordinary everyday life or involve is influenced by x m d 's and one of the great men. for example, in my food grocer row, i deliberately did not mention the president name one because i wanted to say he doesn't met the people. i'm writing about the vendor. you know, the magistrate police moment. so i'm standing at the top end of rock'n'roll, which is one of my favorite is the road that courtney just sent to the famous people fighting. and because that is written that what you see with memory, it's

a part of the corner came and talked to the flag of the united kingdom. we have the headquarters, we have the magistrate court. and it's actually for that reason that i wrote a book called rock and roll, which looked at how important it is and all the different dishes that are on the me . so the history of just 50 is embedded in the scene. so the roadway on is actually towards the new indigo, but the pavement to save gordon avenue. this is what i find so fascinating, because we're such a young country only 40 years old. so we keep flashing into history everywhere we

say it's silver. what, what do you have in the seal? yes. go to cape all, my gosh. yeah, i got wind up call river. boy told his all this is interesting. the law from onto chris. chris went to the deja in 1911 of the any 2nd. this is the one before i was 8 years also at independence. and so i have very strong memories. awful. deja and i went to school 1st. deja in a segregated social school and then or more to disturb a often dependence i louise long standing customer. sure. sure. our, it's okay. my memory of an independent book with a child i largely have p one. but of course i recognize that not everybody has those memories because

a lot of very dark things were happening in the country. many of which we as children were simply not aware of. and it was really that was the period where this authoritarian treat this in. but you know, when you're busy swimming in your swimming pool, or you know, going to the library reading and advice and you're aware of all these development. so my name is something i realized only when i went to law school and we were reading judgment about so horse dissidence, who had been arrested in the material and then also so halon was what was happening here. the in november 2017. there was a what is called is involved with military assisted transition from the mcgovern

machine to watch, we hope to be in your dispensation. and this was one of many times, not the 1st time that the military has directly intervened in, involved in politics. in retrospect, we should all have been very worried as such as such a direct intervention, a badge after decades of august rule, after 37 years, people had just had enough and were desperate to believe in change the ah. on paper, it seemed like we're taking you derek in for the 1st time in many years would have an election that was internationally observed the circumstances with extraordinary and really involved the whole nation. people marched on the cheese. it was such a moment of happiness. they'll probably re engagement with formally hostile nations

. and that's what got me excited because i am passionate about open trade and investment. ah, i got the sense that maybe this wasn't watching him from early on, but you kept thinking, oh no, it will get better. we'll get face will get better, but i think by about one all the one the soldiers shot people on the street. that's when i realized that this might actually not go anywhere because. ready to very willing to use the course element of the into the personal garbage and the real central trail is that to feel and to experience because we had a really wonderful opportunity to move our country in

a different direction. and i'm very fearful that we have missed that chunk. oakdale honda. nero drunk, know beans in my board and cool thing. we can't do bins anymore. what is the one who made it with? i'm very well i'm a journalist, he's the best and publish writer is involved. but why does that mean? it's like roger federer before he won a grand slam. he was the best player not to win a grand slam and that's you you are the fit, raja federal and well being writing all of that really focuses on the economy. so there is no way you can write about economy or writing about the politics involved with writing about politics. mean 2 things that you get arrested or you have to send for yourself as and been any change. all the change that we want to see about. what that was, what that's cool was was just sort of throw denotie. we only imagine

that there was a real shift in policy in just the way government, you know, treat people because people will part of that transition. the, those that those marches industry consolidated with other fellow stakeholder groups of our thing. you know, people have every reason to be angry because no one wants to feel used. you know, no one wants to feel that there was simply instrumental in a power attention game between fraction so we're going to do the 1st official table or even a minute play, which is called black satellites. say about the very controversial is right and the number is just returned from eco, an atheist in england and is come home independent symbolic way. but unfortunately

is true very much looks like deja i think i'll put up with somebody. oh good. god gosh, you know, a great the money to diction doesn't fit in, in england, doesn't fit in, in, in bog, when he's a young man who wants to fight off off of colonialism. but he kind of has this belief such as culture is somehow inferior. okay. and legal leg, i'm like, that plays react by it's not god part x 11. so every international airport isn't bob mooney, ladies and gentlemen, it's listed he, him, was like you, him 77 from london get it. have landed from offstage. right? stumbled a young man of about $34.00. all you mock did appearance. he's nonetheless something

disheveled appearance. this is done with the manager. wow. wow. i don't believe it . i just don't believe it sold very. i'm told by that you know, the 1st thing i did when i got off the plane was to keep the ground just as uncomfortable as you would expect. not so easy on the lips, but still i want to do it again. it is not for me to find that it is not permitted to kiss or grown me when he comes home. the very 1st thing that you encounter these are, this is not allowed. this is not allowed. this is not allowed. you don't allowed to smile, you know, the allowed to be happy that, of like leaving in the case of some thought, you know, and then 54 to bob way to in the twenty's, almost like that. believe me limitations or sort of like $40.00, you know, freedom of expression for them of thought. they do look movement. freedom of questions. you know, everything is booked books, books book,

the book and then the funny or the, i'll probably do this book. and the last last then what i see the one way i did the introduction but wanted to find it. yeah. yeah. and i and i have known each other since i was a law student because it was all of my tutors in contract law. he was very fierce and we were all afraid that she was going to fail us. but we became very good friends with a big meditative gloomy up at the why aren't you a writer? i think if i'm a lawyer, you know, that's what i do. and that's my fit, loving i think could give me a gift. but i, you know, i would love to write in waco fiction. what i d, as my main character will be, will be a woman. and what is totally in my head or for this, do you think the depression is not fully told is but fully told. and i think one of the thing that estimates me was the woman in the liberation cycle. i think she, what's several was in the muslim jesse m smith,

i think the total price of abuse and then the clock. yeah. yeah. yeah. and then when she gets into independence and she was an outsider, i you optimistic or pessimistic about the future? i have to do, i have to go to music because there's no cases that has been and my only worry is that we normally that normal. so we don't panic anymore. when exists. we don't, we don't tamika anymore. i think that we are in a moment. people one change in, i'm afraid to say that in my opinion, if we continue with this notion, we have people come, but he's even people in the room back. even people in the i think we're going to have another project. and for me, what makes me sad is that to establish this economy to turn around this, he couldn't keep so yeah, i would think it is not the actual issues,

which i believe it's not keep growth rate because we can out it's not even trusting, much more than what it was we can do closer than that because we have the culture and we don't have that good as we do, we have our own it has been asked to do the institution to education or social services to, to, to rebuild our college. all don't find that it would take generations to oh i i library is one of my favorite spaces and because it's associated so closely with my childhood, i don't believe you can be right with being
