news. news. news. me. my name is christina. i am a writer and a grade lawyer special crate lawyer. i am very lucky to be able to do 2 things that i loved it, the same level of intensity. my son baldwin is greatly misunderstood. my son baldwin is full of hope, is full of broken, sad people, but he also full of happy, industrious,

resilient people. my son baldwin was involved stories, and those are the stories that i want to tell with . i love the archives because the kind of stories i write a sit in the past. and because i'm a write off really fiction. i want my story to reflect accurate. fact, for example, accurate events, my most recent novel 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 northern 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 3 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 man, whether it's david livingstone or simple john rose orbital gabby. i feel that my responsibility as well when writer is to tell, doesn't baldwin 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. ah, i just did 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 there was already in law school, that i realize that a black and white woman could write an oven 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 or i was already in law school and loving my subjects of law. so i thought to myself, i can always be a riser, but i still 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 been a great background. i have a conference call. it's a panel discussion for the international bar association. this isn't what we're discussing. the major changes that have been going on in the world between the us and china. k. hello, how are you? hi, can you hear me in this conference call. i'm worrying my had as international trade lawyer. i got, but there's also a prize. what about, what's the she's one of the passions that the theme of my conversation. my part of the conversation is african thing. when the elephant fight, it's the graph. that stuff was, it was meant to be the go develop them and round, but only very few areas have been agreed on. and we are feeling the effect in the

developing countries. because that tension is all focused on the trade the it's easy to get believing that everything is normal. you know, people have their puffy morning. she had the cream of hard to kind of thing, but was across the road. life just changes with the so this is somebody pick up the largest festival market in the country. it's also the place that is for many people who come to the city from elsewhere. the 1st

point of contact for me. it was many, many years ago. i think it was about 4 years old when i 1st came somebody in the guy and the bus terminal from all rural village and to live in a town called glenora. and probably nora would then move to the independent id, say my level is not okay. cool. thing about gordon, did anybody the 1 dollar cuz you got just pocket to my apple the the the,

with my 1st chemo it was received fairly negatively by media is above the way i had people article in the harold and the headline was 2 days. judas iscariot, tina gaza. it created the impression that's how i was and anti government in the fall, and he's been bubbly writer. once you read my word, you realize, but i'm just talking about the ordinary everyday life or involve is influenced by the acts and div and one of the great men for example, in my 3rd protein room, i deliberately did not mention the president name one because i wanted to say he doesn't matter if the people i'm writing about the vendor, you know, the magistrate police moment. so i'm standing at the top and on the rock n roll, which is one of my favorite is the road that's put next to the famous people

fighting. and because that is written that you see with memory, it's a $3000.00 which the pardon me, came and talked at the flag of the united kingdom. we have the subtlety of headquarters. we have the magistrate court. and it's actually for that reason that i wrote a book called drunken roe, which looks at how important this is and all the different issues that are on it. the me so the history of the city is imbedded in the st. the roadway on is actually toward the lunatic. but the pavement to say gordon avenue. this is what i find so fascinating. because we have such

a young country only 40 years old. so we keep flashing into history. everywhere we turn the silver ones. what do you have in the philippines? yes. cool. go to cape all, my gosh. yeah, i got you. i went up river. oh, i told him all this is interesting. love from onto chris. chris went to redeem in 1910. 1 of the ne, wonderful 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 we'll move to the server often depending on the long standing customer. sure. sure. our okay,

my memory of an independent but with a child, a large happy one. but of course i recognize that not everybody has those memories because a lot of dark things were happening in the country. many of which we as children were simply not aware of. and it was really that was a period where the authoritarian treat that in. but you know, when you're busy swimming in your swimming pool or you know, going to live reading in his life and you will have all these development to my shame. it was something i realized only when i went to law school and we were reading judgment about 4 course dividend would be interested in material and. and then also, so how long was what was happening here? the

in november 2017. there was a, what is called is involved with military assisted transition from the governor, machine to watch, we hope to be in you a dispensation. and this was one of many times, not the 1st time that the military has directly intervened in, involved in politics. and in retrospect, we should all have been very worried as such as such a direct intervention, a budget after decades of garbage rule. after 37 years, people had just had enough and were desperate to believe in change the news on paper, it seemed like we're taking you derrick and for the 1st time in many years would have an election that was internationally observed. the circumstances was

extraordinary. and really involved the whole nation, people marched on the t, it worked for a moment of happiness. they'll probably re engagement with formally wholesale 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 base will get better. but i think by about one or 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 is element of the, the into

the personal garbage. and there's a real central trail. it's sad 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 drug, no beans in my boarding school, think we can't do beans anymore. what is the one who made it with? i'm very. well, i'm a journalist, he's the best i'll publish. right. that isn't bob, but why does that even 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, of the roger federal involve in writing. all of that really focuses on the economy. so there is no way you can write about economy and writing about the politics in writing about politics. mean 2 things that you get arrested or

you have to send for yourself and been any big change. all the change that we want to see about what that was, what that's cool was was just so extraordinary. we only imagine that there was a real shift in policy in just the way government, you know, treat people. those people were part of that transition to those, those marches industry without a fellow stakeholder in 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 they were 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 sunlight. say about the very controversial mobile right. the number here in

the number is just returned from echo instead of 8 years in england and just come home independence and bob way. but unfortunately is true very much. looks like deja i think we would ever just oh good god. good gosh. you know great. the, the money to liberal diction. it doesn't fit in, in england, doesn't fit in any way. 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. ok, and we go flex time. last play 3 act by not god x one, lean one. so the international airport is and bob, good morning ladies and gentlemen need his life, did he? him?

it was like you, him 7 or 7 from london get it have landed up stage, right? stumbled a young man of about 34 all you mock did appearance these nonetheless something disheveled appearance. this is done with the manager. wow. wow. i don't believe it . i just don't believe it is sold very. i'm told by that you know, the 1st thing i did when i got off the plane with the keys, the ground is 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's not permitted to kister groan 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're not allowed to smile, you know, to be happy here, but it's like living in a cage of some thought, you know. and then 54 to bob with 2020,

almost like that. believe me limitations or that of like $40.00, you know, freedom of expression for them of thought. they do look movement. freedom of question. you know, like you just everything is booked books, books book, you know, the oh oh, oh, oh oh, okay, thank you so. so i am going to see can i do to who is highly regarded from baldwin lawyer. he's also the vice president of the mug with main opposition party. the, the the,

the 1st thing he did when he 1st of the office was to order the books 1st book and then the funny room. i'll probably do this book and the last class to them, or if you know, the one way i did the introduction, i want to find it. yeah. yeah. and i and i have known each other since i was a more student because there was a lot of my tutors in contract law. he was very fierce and we were all afraid that you were going to fail us. but we became very good friends member with a big man. yeah, he blew me up. but he why aren't you a writer? i think, i mean, lawyer, you know, that's what i do. and that's my 5th love and i think would 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 i've got his 20 in my head of who gets to the deliberative tuggle is

not fully told is but fully told. and i think one of the things that estimates me what the woman in the cycle, i think she what's several was in him was no just him smith's. i think the typical protocol abuse and then the clock. yeah. yeah. yeah. and then when she gets into independence and she was an outsider, i you all to mystic or you're pissing mystic about the solution. i have to do optimistic, i have to do music because there's no cases that has been and my only worry is that we normally that normal. so we don't need any more when except to take place. we don't, we don't panic anymore. i think that the we are in a moment, people when people change in i'm afraid to say that it may be new. and if we continue with this notion where people come to but he's even people in the room back. even people in the i think we have another project. and for me what really

makes me sad is that to establish this, he put on me to turn around this. he couldn't get it. yeah. and i will think it is not the actual issues, which i believe it's not to be 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 would do, we have our own one as well as to do the institution to education, social services to, to, to rebuild our cultural. don't find that. don't take generations to oh, oh i i,

library is one of my favorite spaces and because it's associated so close to with my childhood. i don't believe you can be right on without being in read and my part to being both a lawyer and a writer, but especially a writer, started in this library. the book diary as a child will book that children in england, whatever it. and it was then that i started actually, right when i was about 10 years old, 11 years old is all about ballet and trading and having a cherry orchard because i had no conception of them, but we in as an identity or even african so i had to make that transition, what i call my own footnote, my vision from being a 30 maker as a child to being involved in right as an adult. so

i'm preparing lunch for a small family bry and a bright is what. so in other parts of the world is known as a father, you and then i have some friends coming over as well. and also some of my colleagues very well. oh you, i tend to hang out with a little creative, disruptive. ah ah, ah, ah, ah. ready ah, i saw i

got i got, by the time i started to write my 1st book and energy for you. i had a fairly good idea of the kind of stories i wanted to tell about the bobo. i know there's a lot of humor, of laughter, of waging with dramatic things happened. funeral with rustic things happen. just people falling in love, having babies in the background of the difficult political and economic situation. yeah. blended. the patriotism is loving your country in a way that allows you to be truthful about it and sometimes it needs to be pretty good. i just want my country to do well. i want my country to prosper and

i want my to do better to honor the founding documentary formation, which is the constitutional i want to maintain her dignity on the stage, but when it's going to get to that place and to reach out until we take our responsibility to our own people with our my, i my love with the 4th of my information. my son, by way is book myself, always music. my son bob way is art. my vocal is laughter. it's humor it's enterprise. and by way is there is any of the i

more just again ah ah, ah ah, something was going to change. anything really changed. this is just demick violent that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the barrier know what to say. so we are all looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line, when i was just there, i'm getting close to the people most affected by those in power is often dangerous, but it's absolutely vital to stories. if you tell lots of society in this area, we pushed as far forward as we can to the front line. now the smell of death is

overpowering. a lot of the stories that we cover highly complex, so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can do as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue as i was is there a correspondence that's what we strive to do with the i can tell about the controls, 85 percent of the country as it tries to assure moscow with military gains don't threaten russia or it's central asian allies. ah, watching old 0 life or my headquarters in del.
