If you read one thing today - it should be this; excellent piece where @mkuki discusses Swahili writers and the fact that they should be mandatory reading in Tanzania… he also unpacks the deep trauma around books in our region. https://t.co/zH7Sji1RUS
Incredibly excited to share this new work in @socscimed on naming cancer, language ideologies, and the complexities of decolonizing health communication in Coastal Tanzania with my dear friend @mwalukere and others. Check it out!

Kenyans are protesting a draconian finance bill that will destroy the lives of millions who are already grappling with severe economic hardship. We demand and deserve a better future for ourselves and our children.

Exciting day of presentations today at #Utafiti! Scholars from various disciplines, from medical anthropology to sociolinguistics, sharing their research.
So excited to have received my copy of State of Emergency @maxpinckers - it really is an incredibly special and important book (to echo many other reviews!). I remember interviewing Geoffrey (quoted below) at his farm and he proudly showed me the photos Max had taken of him.
I made a little radio piece about my wonderful mum + her jam making🍓🫐🫙 ‘A Recipe for Recovery’ will be on @BBCRadio4 this Friday 7th June at 1:45pm. It was mentioned in yesterday’s Sunday Times + is pick of the day in this week’s @RadioTimes 🙃
Last year, I embarked on a profound journey throughout Kenya to document the persistent echoes of colonialism.
It was raw, it was heartbreaking, it was extremely sobering - https://t.co/U8DgMggv2v
Excited to be co-hosting this workshop with good friends, mentors, and brilliant scholars. London mutuals, come over to SOAS to hear me talk about the coloniality of medical linguistics next Friday!
