This week we welcome Hadija, the literature lover and advocate behind @readingafricana. With a mission to highlight the vitality of African writing, Hadija has built one of the continent’s most beloved digital spaces for literary and cultural conversations, which serves as a testament to her passion for African stories and spotlighting the continent’s voices. Her platform champions the writers, ideas and political contexts shaping contemporary African storytelling, inviting readers into deeper engagement with the continent’s literary traditions and emerging voices. Beyond books, Hadija’s platform also functions as a space for cultural dialogue and literary activism. She is a committed humanitarian and social advocate; for her, African literature and African life are never separate conversations. Here are her 3 Favourites: 1.The Collector of Treasures by Bessie Head 2.One Day I Will Write About This Place by Binyavanga Wainaina 3.The River in the Belly by Fiston Mwanza Mujila
