As a consequence, she often defines home as the place where her books are. A lifelong writer, her fiction has been published in both French and English. Her short story “Who we were there, who we are now” was longlisted as part of the 2018 Short Story Day Africa contest and published in their ID anthology. Her fiction explores questions of home, language and the ways in which silence shapes history.
