About this Event
Who gets to choose which African stories are written?
In this episode of "The Stoop," hosts Hana and Leila dig into this literary question with African and diaspora authors who are tired of reading the same stories that cater to global mostly white audiences.
They explore with three writers, each of them pushing against a mostly US and UK-based publishing industry in their own unique way- Botswanan author Siyanda Mohutsiwa, Nigerian author Sarah Ladipo Manyika, and Zambian author Namwali Serpell.
30 min presentation with Q & A 20min

About the Stoop
“The Stoop” podcast–– part of the Radiotopia podcast network from PRX– tells stories from across the Black Diaspora, digging into the stories about Blackness that are not always shared out in the open. Hosts Leila Day and Hana Baba start conversations about what it means to be Black and how we talk about Blackness. It’s an exploration of the joyful, the painful, and everything in between. Leila is African American, Hana is Sudanese American, and through their own stories, interviews, and field reporting, they dig into questions that are personal and cultural.
Now in their 8th season, The Stoop is multiple award winning- honored by The National Association of Black Journalists, the Society of Professional Journalists- Northern California, and was awarded best podcast by the Black Podcast Awards in 2020. It’s been featured on NPR, PRI, ABC, CNN, CBC, OkayAfrica, Spotify, Financial Times, and in 2020 The Stoop was named by the New York Times and Oprah Magazine as a podcast to listen to.
