In this episode, we sit down with the brilliant writer and poet Abigail George to talk about storytelling, creativity, and the power of words. Abigail shares insights into her journey as a writer, the inspiration behind her work, and how literature shapes perspectives. The issues of race and racial discrimination, the African Renaissance, the northern areas of Gqeberha are also under discussion, the solitary path of a writer, and “the white gaze”, being crippled by hospitalisation and relapse, living life with a mental illness and major depression and the promulgation of the Group Areas Act.
The interview was conducted by La Mntungwa and Dude.
