Description:
We are back after that little break! We return with yet another mind-blowing episode for your listening pleasure. This week, we are joined by the amazing and trailblazing conscious African author George Gathiani. He talks to us about his journey (4:12) to becoming a writer, growing up in Kenya. Georges discusses African authors and the importance of showcasing their voices globally, especially in the area of science and consciousness, rather than limiting the African audience's minds. The conversation emphasizes the need for storytelling (16:05) as a vehicle for identity, self-awareness, human information processing, and empowerment. George talks to us about his unique writing style (28:26) and practical, timely approach to working on his stories. His latest (38:10) book, "Mystery Monkeys," is available on Nuria Books and other notable platforms. It was lovely having George on the show. Enjoy the episode!
