100 on Books

In which award-winning writers & awesome people Deesha Philyaw and Ndinda Kioko talk writing, Deesha's The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, oral tradition & record-keeping, and much more besides.

Our guests today are Jaimee Kokonya & Wanini Kimemiah, friends and hosts of the Horror Read-a-Thon.
