What happens when two kindred spirits, driving purely by passion and vision and not so much common sense come together? They dare to put together an African Book Fair and commit to bringing in 10000 books to the country in their first attempt! Madness! This is Muthoni and Wendy’s story of bringing to life the African Book Fair, held from 1-5 August 2023 at the McMillan Memorial Library. In this episode, they go back, tracing where the idea started, how it was birthed and grew legs and then wings, and took off! It was an interesting journey to say the least, with lots of highs and lows and in-betweens, but fuelled by the support of the community around them, they executed the largest fair of African Books that Kenya has ever seen! Strap in, it's going to be a great ride!
