a very close friend of mine over the last lot, 17 years. my love us, i get to have you and yvonne walk into the street. please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. tell them your connection to being of ango. why nina? thank you for me. um, well, i'm yvonne are the on board war. i'm a writer. i'm connecting her from nairobi. kidding? yeah. our b of anger was my friend, my brother, my mental i would not have entered into the world of writing if it had not been for him. i say good to have you. all right, so all of our guests have a story and have stories about you have been of anger. why now? i'm sure you do to, why you like his writing. what would you like to ask about his writing? i do chip comment section. it's open right now, please do use it. be part of today's shout. i'm actually going to ask you about the story about the 1st time that being ivank as writing got to be known beyond kenya. and that was something to do with attain africa literary prize. and he had

an arguments with the people who were running the prize because he wanted to put in a digital piece. and they told him what this is off actually is exactly what i said. so for with now i was in kenya, he had written this wonderful story, a memoir called discovery home, which was about returning from south africa to kenya after a long period. the way he had already written a little bit by that time and was semi famous. i would say, and he really wanted to enter the came prize. this newly instituted prize for african writing instituted out of oxford university at the time. but he couldn't find it new to publish his writing except for a short lived internet on the magazine called g. $21.00, which has run out of new orleans by a remarkable african american, colorado,

a mess who paid every contributor, $100.00, even though he himself was not very rich. he was just interested in literature. so being of anger published discovery born in detroit, iran just in time for the game pro submissions sent it in, and they immediately wrote back and said, what are you doing? this is a senior surprise. we only accept serious writing and serious publications. and so he fired back to them and said, listen, over the last year, there's not been a single ontology of fiction or nonfiction, published on the african continent. where do you expect to get a dream from social state elected? the backtracked, he won the pros. i so when of anger, he complain about some young in any that's exactly what he wants. it won't go ahead feeling jump in the conversation. no, no, i'm saying that is very that is vintage being of anger. i sometimes i used to call him diana. she kind of breaks down the imaginary barriers and you know, barriers that do exist, but suddenly because he shows up they,

they become imaginary. and it, that is this characteristic i got to published or the my award winning prize. i won the prize the year to him simply because he was that event, that big of anger for food there. you know, there are no limitations. so yeah, that is vintage been rhonda. melissa hudson pitts is a family picture of you and your big brother. i'm gonna stop at one picture at festival because i want to work out which one is you? i think i know. and which one is your big brother. so let's have a look here. what are you wearing? melissa? say we can spot you. well, on the tiny one at the front, oh my goodness. oh, and which would have been your banga, been your bunger is 3rd from right in the, obviously next to my mom. he was my boy. i, let's look at some more pictures because i'm wondering that often the way that people remember being of anger was the confidence and how creative he was. but as

a big brother, what are the qualities that you knew that maybe other people didn't know? yeah, i mean, you know, he was larger than life to be very honest than he was very opinionated, sometimes too opinionated, but it was all in his way of love. that was his love language is love, language was all about living live being vivid. he's the one who made me go to my fast bar. he made me have my 1st drink. he's the one who dressed me up in a healed, hadn't he would let me go and beat them? say, you know, my sister's kind of heart, so that's typical of being of anger for you. i'm going to bring in phone guy who he spoke to a few hours ago and she remembered an extraordinary meeting with pena, vanka. this is her story and then actually have a listen to the story. and i want to know the 1st time that you met in your anger.

his phone guy festival. i 1st met bon galway, 992011. and launch of his book in london. and so i had gone along, i wanted to purchase a copy of the book. but once i got to the front of the line, all the copies had sold out. but he still baby to his agent and a copy of the book you merge the final copy of the book you merged and he graciously offered it to me for 3 and autographed it. and i think that's an example to me of what been stood for. and one was an intergenerational kind of conversation, bringing in younger people into conversations about narratives, about african shifting those narrative i took, i had your 1st meeting i work primarily as

a public health activists that i am a dormant writer. and at one point many years ago, i used to be able to do both things at once. and i wrote a series of articles with a friend of mine in johannesburg, where i lived at the time i worked at a trade union on, i'm nightclubs in a south african townships i and i also stripped dubs in inner city janice bow ah, a colleague, i wrote it witless. cameroon, in living in joe berg, who is now a benedictine monk and rome. i'm so sort of unbelievable all around. we didn't think anyone would be interested in the stories and then i got an e mail out of the blue from being a gas handle. i read this in a common friend of us had been trying to connect us. i think he knew. but i think he might have literally been the one person in the world who read the stories of the, of quite obscure. i was thrilled, he had already written how to write about africa at that time. so it was a minor celebrity i was hearing from and i was delighted. i met him for the house

and united states and then subsequently in london. and the 1st thing that i, i recognized instantly when i met him, i think is that this is going to be a dangerous relationship. i will suffer from a lack of sleep. i just, we had so much to say to each other so much to say that i knew unless i, you know, unless ha, ha, ha, ha ha to extricate myself from that i might never sleep when i, when i meet him and i would prepare myself, actually for a days and weeks of sleeplessness, every time i met it because it just seemed like we had too much to talk about. and it was literally almost to the point of being dangerous. but it was just an believe i've never had never met anyone like that. i think where i've instantly known that i could talk to him for the rest of my life without being booked. if there was one conversation that comes back to you, sometimes when you miss someone and you're thinking, oh i was that one time and we talked about vis. what is the conversation that comes back to her at shell that, you know, he stayed out way too late to have that he will never forget. you know, this is

a very strange one in 2014. been among, i wrote an ethical, i'm a homosexual mom, which is not in the collection that you hold in your hands for me because of the, the collection that you hold is the 1st half of his writing career. and this is for volume to whenever that comes out. ok. but this was an essay that, that stunned the world he wrote it published it in an african magazines in touring and south africa in africa as a country. and it really stop the world in its tracks. it was quite amazing. but the night before that we had a conversation for about 8 hours on paganism and spirituality and homosexuality. or something that i was interested in. and he was very interested in a, it was the most profound conversation that we had ever had, i think on something serious because we didn't often get to talk about serious

things. but it was eye opening in a way for me. and for him, we both been interested in this but hadn't actually discussed it with each other because we thought we were, i think, was a little embarrassed about it. honestly. what that be because recently decided to let all the walls down and talk about it. and it was fantastic and i went to sleep at sort of 4 in the morning. and then somehow you also found the time to write. i'm a home sexual mom, publish it to the game. it was even a human being. i have no idea how he did it wrong when i, i was reading this and full a day of been your bank as early work. what occurred to me was that he was writing for africans. he didn't explain things like i was reading part of this and i was in job work. and he, i was even pap quite a lot from job work. and there was a lot of been this book and he doesn't tell you what it is. and if he don't know, you have to go and find out. but there are lots of little like treasures and gems

that as an african, as a canino in the south african one, nigerian, that you appreciate that he is writing for us for africa, the canyons. he's writing them us, and if you're not sure what it is sometimes explains it. sometimes he doesn't. i you love that. how about you? you know what be no did for us or is it beyond just the writing? he exploded the space a kind of the literary burdening that you saw on the continent was primarily because of the, the madness and craziness and the bigness of this up. this daring and unusual and an absolutely loving human being. and he's a, he inhabited the continent in, in the right to his marrow or without apology. and the idea of story is a way of see it not only ourselves, but using story to see the world and,

and speak, speak back to the world, but speak the world in, in, in this, in it, you know, to use his own words in this kind of a book, independent creative and, and 3 kind of way. as you know, i don't think we will ever be able to do enough justice to the meaning of what he provided for us by just simply telling a story on by simply showing the fact that the story is we needed to tell what the stroke you know were our stories, you know, when the 1st, when, when, when, when quality 1st emerged, a lot of the gatekeepers referred to our generation as naval gazes because we're writing about ourselves. we're reflecting about ourselves. we were, you know, you know, reflecting on the landscapes of our being that we're beyond the, the, you know, the particular narratives that were, you know,

unfortunately floating all over the world. and i think, i think it was because of the kind of we felt kind of shielded unprotected by just just the strangeness and marvel that was being a bugger. and connie, if you look on my laptop here, is an ditch to online resource for writers. and this is something that they have anger set out with his prize money from the cane price. i. i'm going to be this out here. melissa. good. your brother cook coconut milk. i was not expecting to find recipes like property in an anthology, split coconut in half remote coke, not water set aside. remove flesh from shell. he writes about food as beautifully as he writes about life in africa. hit your brother cook, i'm guessing he kick as he loves fate. he was magic in the kitchen. i actually remember one time, my folks were on

a trip and we had run out of the flies as sibling sometimes do. i think we had like half a loaf of bread like my 2 or noon. and i keep saying that he made this amazing salad, which actually included curry powder and sold actually i school. but i remember very horrified periods calling long distance. i'm hearing about the salad. we had which was filled with white bread sold to carry out that. but yeah, he could, he could cook with any kind of ingredients and i think he even took it up as that as a challenge. can i make anything we these look like that of these foods that are hanging in my, me buzz, you know, tree and garden. so yeah, he was a fantastic cook, but it was also just, he's his way of creating beauty. he, he, he, he was really good at creating anything. he did anything. he touched, he was all about centering that around our african stories,

he was very good at giving us the mundane african, everyday life. just giving us some handle vitality and vividness. and i think that that's what the vote was saying was quite magical. helping us also just connect with our them. so self in a sense of identity that so often has been taken away from us or spoken for us in many ways that are also they, denny green us and put us down and he has a way of just bringing it back and language for him was master, he stretched it and made it into what it is he needed to be to communicate that being t i am going to bring in a new voice. if on you go 1st go 2nd. yes, i have to leave me. melissa, i love what you have said. you will. you will be new. wrangell was vulnerable to

beauty in a way that i find very few people in the world to be and the vulnerability to beauty. look at us and look at, look at especially look at the africa as a particularly and spectacularly beautiful and, and, and to use story and language and words to create an entire glossary of our particular beauty. which allowed him then to you know, you know, throw back the ugliness that the ugly words that had been directed at our particular wonderfulness. the create of those particular those particular ideas. yeah, i yeah. he was a man. absolutely vulnerable to beauty. yeah. i'm going to bring in the writer here, lorenzo talks about how she was inspired by the way,

been your van guest saw the world. this is what she told us earlier. i remember this is time and contact his work. i was reading. why need him kinda into in content? and there was so much emotion. any g a is the way he communicates the way through, wrote about and right when i became a trouble, right. and i knew that i would try to books about africa. i was very intentional about ensuring that i do know dried for me lenses theory type that was very intentional, about infusing humor in energy and emotion into my own writing. so that the way that i represent africa would really be genuine and authentic. i tell so that's the legacy, right there on you. like we, we all that all resonates for us. that the fact that we want to be better at writing because of the way the opinion banga wrote that is your legacy right there

. actual, i know you've got ready something for us because they sent policies called how to write about africa, which is more in the general sense because many of anger wrote about africa in such a extraordinary way. but he also went viral before viber was really in vain. with an article which is sarcastic and complained about how africa was often portrayed it got, it went so viral that people study to tap in your banga. have you seen that article, how to write about africa? like i runs it would, you know, would you read a little bit of it because every time i hear it, every time i see bits of it, i say, i say, oh my goodness, this is still relevant. agile. the, the honest pace. i love to thank you. sorry i just have to get this off. i screamed this never have a picture of

a well adjusted african on the cover of your book or in it. unless that african has won the nobel prize and eager for the southern prominent ribs make address, use these. if you must include an advocate and make sure you get one in marcell zulu, no longer us in your text, treat africa as if it was one country. it is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and hue tubs of animals. and dalton, people who are starving, or it's hot and steamy with very shall people who eat primaries. don't get bogged down with details or precise descriptions. africa, big, 54 countries, 900000000 people who are too busy starving and dying and worrying and emigrating to reachable still, i will still like when nothing but when laughing for as he is because that is still so true. i think that seek who mentioned as we were talking about being of anger and his legacy in this particular article that everybody knows enough so much. yes, yes. they see that he wrote how to write about african is that she wrote decades

back is that it still sort of entity as it was at the time he wrote it. but also it's relevant not just for global media coverage of the continent, but africa, media coverage to the same suicide preview in global news media tend to domine, to the news media on the continent. and this points to a big challenge, which is actually that of money and power and influence because african media houses are usually under funded in the, to the extent where they need to replace it to rely on global media houses for their coverage. when i am thinking of a time when being of anger came on to the street, this is back in 2015 and we were all so excited. and we were doing a show about things that you don't really appreciate about the african continent. before i play a clip, i think it's really important for us to just stop for a moment and just appreciate how much he was a stuart of other people's writing. how has spent time and nurtured them and encouraged them. and he did that to you. can you very briefly tell us how we

encourage you to write? ok, he, he saw me as a writer long before i recognize myself was that i wrote the 1st to the 1st work of fiction that i ever produced. the way to whispers would ended up winning, but the 2003 came prize. i actually wrote it to get been of anger my back. all right? yes. all right, so you ready to get off the fat? and so he was, there he was, there was your mentor. so in 2015, i asked in your anger, very specific question because whatever he's reading that would be good for us to read as well. let's have a listen to that interview back in 2015. at this time of a crazy girl's an increase of an invention. i think it's very, very important that we spend more time listening to ourselves and telling ourselves our own story, right? so being of anger a, if you could recommend one book fry international audience to read what would be

that one book dust by even the war. it was my favorite novel, althea. oh, nice didn't even but i never called the warner war wrote a great novel called dust. i have been away that you will cry. you will laugh again . you will love you will love ah ah, he knew ah, doesn't that just some something of anger. why 9 or up better? that's a long we have. uh huh. we have. i'm going to let you during that interview, i read it because he wasn't always polite about your work. the 1st time you stood, you showed you his work. he said it was, was not good. ha ha. but he is, and i was that's in vocabulary to say that young people who are watching right now

actual very quickly, we've got 30 seconds to do this. what do you think that then your rank is still now can communicate to young africans in a single sentence? what would that be bigger road better than anyone else? because he lived better than anyone else? honestly. all right, so should have on the way. yeah. a young audience who's watching right now, which of answered very that was a question that you had answered to ask you, just going to live better than anyone else. you've been talking about been of anger y, nina, and the anthology, how to write about africa. and he's now in bookstore enjoy. ah frank assessments, if the united states, he felt that the iranian nuclear program was there to build a nuclear weapon. they were assigned to deal by informed opinions. i believe that

armenia and other regina should have bilateral negotiations. we've been calling that for many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king charles will take home in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera, the british iraqi journalist who's visualizing complex statistics and a simple art form. i think it offers us some really exciting opportunities to break apart from those systems of power and to collect data in a way that back to represent different communities. challenging mainstream misconceptions, hope the fi crates and handful integration. it doesn't alienate people, it doesn't make people feel like i'm not mine on the sense booth truth is it anyway? on al jazeera, we are all principals. even people far away are so helping with the environment. problems in amazon because they are consumers. i teach kids about the threats that

are oceans are facing today. i've been working in earnest, trying to find ways to get this language up to kids went away and do as the ocean. why and what are you going to do to keep out of sleep? the sort of language that keeps the rental blood women, right. say that they have one, several back over in their fight for equality and gotten america. and those are things that were texting women. we made a challenge in the region. i will not being pro like i want to sleep. we don't have read them in this study. these imaculi's now i say 3 days journey to a show club. we wish them to grow. so and destroys our country. someone needs to rebuild. ah .
