Welcome of another episode of The Storymakers Institute - powered by you. This is your front row pass to the world’s most intriguing storytellers.
This week, say hello to Nsah Mala - Cameroonian poet, writer, author of children's books, and researcher-scholar who writes in English, French, and Mbesa.
The Congo Basin in Central Africa is often described as Earth’s “second lungs” (after the Amazon) - scooping up the world’s carbon emissions including storing some 20 years of US fossil fuel emissions.1 Unsurprisingly, its a region that faces huge issues arising from global climate change, logging, mining, poaching, urbanisation (and so on).
A couple of years ago, Nsah Mala went to investigate - writing and defending a highly-praised and award-winning doctoral dissertation about whether Literature can save the Congo Basin. So what did Nsah uncover, and why does this have ramifications for you?
