Hirondina Joshua, Lucía Asué Mbomío Rubio & Leïla Slimani: Celebrating African Heritage and Empowering Women

How best to give voice to the experiences of people in different countries across the African continent? Today we welcome three authors: Lucía Asué Mbomío Rubio, a novelist and journalist of Equatorial Guinean descent; Mozambican poet, writer and jurist Hirondina Joshua; and French-Morroccan writer and journalist Leïla Slimani. These writers work in Spanish, Portuguese, and French respectively. Chaired by human rights lawyer and Edinburgh University rector Debora Kayembe.

This event will now be BSL interpreted.
