Writing can be a lifeline, expecially when your existence has been denied, especially when you have been left on the margins, especially when your life and process of growth have been subjected to attempts at strangulation.
Micere Githae Mugo
We are honoured to name this room after Micere Githae Mugo, a visionary poet, playwright, and scholar whose work championed social justice, African identity, and the power of resilience. As a fearless critic of oppression and a voice for the marginalized, Micere used her pen and platform to advocate for freedom, equality, and the dignity of all people. Her commitment to truth and justice in Kenya and across the continent left an indelible mark on African literature and human rights. This room stands as a tribute to her legacy, inspiring us to harness creativity and courage in the pursuit of a better, fairer world.
